Gold Facing Comex Delivery Squeeze as Traders Fear Counterparty Risks / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold rallied sharply last week and was up nearly 9% despite continuing uncertainty and a very mixed performance in stock markets. The US dollar index fell some 4% on the week and it looks increasingly likely that the dollar may have topped out and may soon resume its bear market. For the year, gold is now up by more than 4% in dollar terms and by much larger amounts in euros (+11.7%) and pounds (+40.4%). Read full article... Read full article...

Gold and the $8.3 Trillion & Journey to OZ! / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: David_Vaughn
Well, it has finally happened. USA Today has raised the cost of their daily paper to one dollar. Knew the day was coming. The mining industry continues to suffer along with the rest of the stock market. Definitely a contrarian market now. The availability of credit is now zero and blessed be those companies who have previously stock piled huge wads of cash. They will have the best chance of surviving this market. Read full article...

Gold Backwardation That Shook The World / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Professor_Emeritus
On Friday, December 12, backwardation on gold was still in force at an annualized discount rate hovering around 2% in the December contract, and 0.3% in February contract. Many readers have asked me how it is that so many other observers fail to see the backwardation. The discrepancy is due to differences in methodology. Most analysts calculate the basis as the difference between February and December futures prices which gives them a positive reading. They use the December futures price as proxy for the spot price. This is clearly wrong. The December futures price is not the same as the spot price, even though we are in December. Read full article... Read full article...

Junior Mining Stocks: Canada’s Subprime Market Crash / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
Prior to the recent market meltdown, the market for junior mining companies had already been experiencing a severe correction since its peak in early 2007. Despite rising and historically high metal prices, money began leaving the market, in earnest, in the summer of 2007. By late last year, the correction had become a full-fledged bear market. Then the credit markets collapsed in September 2008. This caused another leg down which also included the major mining companies and the underlying commodities. Read full article...

Playing U.S. Dollar Weakness and Silver Strength / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The seven-week sideways coil pattern in the daily chart of the Euro/$
resolved itself to the upside earlier this week. The ability of the Euro/$
to hold Thursday's gains amidst acute overnight weakness in equities is a
very powerful sign of relative strength, and likely that the Euro has
further to climb against the USD -- at least to the 1.3600-1.3700 area next.
This action should be supportive for gold and silver as well.Read full article... Read full article...

Investments Diversification Remains Key to Weathering the Economic Storm / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
With the economic slowdown and the consequent fall in jewellery sales, jewellers have recently begun touting the merits of jewellery and diamonds as being “investments”. Gold, silver, platinum or palladium rings, bracelets, necklaces and diamonds or other gemstones should not be sold as an investment and it is irresponsible to sell them as such. Read full article...

Gold and the Credit Crash / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Adrian_Ash
"... To stay ahead of inflation, don't beg for a raise. Just borrow the money instead...!"
The TROUBLE with GOLD...? If you choose to use it as money, then you can only abandon it once. Once done, it's done forever. You can't keep floating the value of cash time and again.

U.S. Oil Funds Bullish Structure Quashed / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For the upmove off of Wednesday's upside pivot reversal (34.07) into Thursday's high (39.82) to be considered bullish, I needed to see the US Oil Fund ETF (NYSE: USO) weakness hold at or above 38.00, which was the case yesterday afternoon. However, this morning's gap down open and plunge beneath 35.78 has quashed the potentially bullish pattern structure into something considerably less constructive -- and possibly has initiated a new downleg within the still dominant bear trend.

More on Gold Backwardation / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: James_Turk
Over the last few weeks, there have been a lot of articles on the Internet about backwardation, i.e., when the price of commodities for delivery today is higher than the price of commodities for delivery in the future. Like nearly all the things on the Internet, most of what was written is useful, but some of it is total rubbish, and it takes time to sort through to find the gems from the rest. I offer the following in the hope that it clears up some of the confusion that has arisen about backwardation as well as to provide some insight into today's gold market. Read full article...

Silver, But No Silver Lining / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Robert_Singer
The end of our consumer society is on the horizon, which should be no surprise to anyone who took Economics 101. Do we really expect to spend our way out of this mess by buying and selling each other useless cheap stuff from China ?
As the financial collapse gathers steam, gold and silver oracles like Butler , Friedman, Morgan and Turk who have been predicting for years the launch of the price of silver to the moon will see their prophecy fulfilled, but a celebration is not in order.
