The Gold Bugs Were Right / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: LewRockwell
Eric Janszen writes: Imagine you were knocked over the head in 1999 with the December issue of the Red Herring magazine. It weighed in at two pounds, such was the demand for advertising in that west coast technology bubble catalogue at the time. The NASDAQ had climbed over 4000, the S&P500 near 1500, and gold averaged $283 that month.

Gold and Silver Stocks Bottom or Downtrend Pause? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The end of the year is usually calm on the capital markets. The volatility is low, as the money managers from all over the world take some time off and spend the Holiday Season with their families. At the same time, the end of the year is a perfect time for summarizing and reviewing this year's actions and making key decisions regarding the next year. The beginning of this essay will not be any different; especially that this is the year during which the Premium Service has been introduced on my website, so I believe that a brief review on this year's performance would be quite useful.

The World According to Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Midas_Letter
Ah….Christmas in Buenos Aires. At the risk of incurring the disdain of the family oriented, I revel in the absence of the cumbersome familiar Yuletide agenda. Instead of turkey, this year there will be steak and steak, with some more steak. That’s because, in case you’ve never been, Argentina reveres the preparation of beef as an elevated form of art. Coincidentally, they also make some of the world’s most interesting wines, and the combination is part of the daily intoxication that infuses the Buenos Aires cultural ambiance.

Gold Is The Decade’s Best Investment / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Frank_Holmes
Happy holidays wishes to all, with a special season’s greetings to the permanent gold skeptics.
The decade that ends Thursday is on track to be the worst in recorded history for the U.S. stock market – worse than all of the many boom-and-bust cycles of the 19th century, worse than the Great Depression-era 1930s, worse than the recession-plagued 1970s.

Silver Showing Positive Bullish Developments / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund

Gold Technical Picture Brightens / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
The technical picture for gold has brightened considerably over the past week, despite the price having continued to drop and the apparent failure of an uptrend. The reasons for this are to be found in the price action of gold itself and in what has been going on elsewhere at the same time.

Gold and Silver Forecast Update / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: G_Abraham
What a month for gold and silver as they peaked and crashed by over 10% this month. But instead of being disspointed, I think this is the perfect fodder and stage for the next super fast bull rally. In fact the next move will be among the powerful and sustainable rallies in 7 year bull run of Gold as it will suck in even the most conservative of funds as Gold takes out levels like $1200, $1300 as if they were fig leaves.

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Please imagine a private room at a posh downtown restaurant. The guest list is invitation only and limited to the wealthiest clients of Bank Edmond de Rothschild, which specializes in private banking and wealth management. Rothschild is legendary with a reputation that has made the name synonymous with banking for several centuries. The family-owned bank has been passed down through generations and kept its reputation and solvency despite political turmoil, wars, persecutions, revolutions and market upheavals. It has done so with what the Rothschilds like to call “instinctive caution.&

Will the U.S. Dollar Rally End the Gold and Silver Bull Market? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It has become clear to us that the media and so many institutional analysts are going to keep talking the $ up despite the lack of fundamental reasons. We feel that you will benefit most from a look at what lies ahead for the $ and its fundamentals and what could take it higher, if it does rise.

Gold Being Driven Higher by Speculation Not Real Physical Demand / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Over the last two days, we’ve looked at the current Gold bull market from historical and supply/ demand perspectives. Thus far, the data has lead us to believe that Gold has entered a speculative “mini-bubble” phase in bull market.
This scenario can of course change at any time should the public’s demand for physical bullion pick up again. However, until that occurs, Gold is in the same phase that Oil was in 2008: a speculative market in which sharp rallies or corrections can occur at any time.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
The 12% drop in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) from the Dec 3 high at 119.54 appears to have a bit more downside ahead, towards a confrontation with its 1-year trendline, now in the vicinity of 102.00 into 100.50 -- a support plateau that stretches back to March 2008.

Is Gold Going Higher or Popping Now? Part2 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Yesterday, we analyzed the current bull market in Gold from a historical context. Right off the bat, we ran into some conflicting issues: from a timing perspective, Gold’s recent run is a little long of tooth, however, from a gains perspective, Gold still looks to have plenty of room to run (during the last Gold bull market, it rallied 750% during its second leg up).
