Gold Busting Back Above $1000 as Stocks Resume 2009 Crash / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has rallied strongly again this morning and is up 1.5% at $990/oz after consolidating around the $975/oz mark yesterday. Stock markets are under severe pressure again this morning after yesterday’s 7 year low close for the Dow Jones.
There is a risk here of a panic sell off in stock markets and the next leg down in the stock bear market looks imminent as the ills of the global financial system virulently infect the global economy. While gold has become overbought in the short term, its medium and long term fundamentals are as sound as ever.

Dow/Gold Ratio 40year Cycle and the Secular Depreciation of Fiat Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ashraf_Laidi
With gold prices only 7% away from their record highs and the main equity indices 45-50% below their highs, an analysis of the equity/gold ratio is amid the many rationalizations for prolonged gains in the precious metal. The equity/gold ratio highlights a commonly used measure of corporate market value versus a decades-long measure of real asset value. Gold is known as a measure of real assets value because of its ability to preserve value during inflationary times. But during these disinflationary times, the current global growth/demand landscape also supports the notion of too many dollars chasing too few gold ounces. Read full article... Read full article...

Global Financial Crisis Driving Gold Higher in All Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
In the latest manifestation of the world financial crisis, gold is rallying strongly now in all major currencies. Gold detached from the usual commodity drivers gradually over the period August 07 to the present, and closely reacted to any major new developments in the credit crisis. Gold now is almost totally dominated by ongoing credit crisis developments, and the massive attempts to bailout the financial system in every country. That is why gold and the USD are rallying together. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Mike_Paulenoff
The overriding reason for re-entering the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) "up HERE" in our model portfolio is derived from my intermediate-longer term technical work, which we discussed last week. Eight days ago I noted the big-picture pattern of spot gold for subscribers, and the longer-term analysis on that weekly chart remains exactly the same today. Read full article...

Long-term Stock Market Trend Converging with Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Suppose we had two horses, and both are required to pull our carriage. Our budget only permitted the purchase of two daily servings of oats. So, we tried an experiment. We substituted some saw dust for half of one of the servings for one of the horses. We gave those extra oats to the other horse. Seeing no visible change in the health of the horse being given the saw dust, we fed it only saw dust. The other horse gets all the oats. This feeding approach continues till one day we arrived in the barn to find the saw dust fed horse dead. Our carriage business was over. Read full article... Read full article...

The City: Gold Capital of the World- Goldsmiths Part XXXI / Politics / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Robert_Bradshaw
In the early days of ancient Greece, governmental units called city-states developed. As these entities were feudalistic, the local fat cats controlled them. Perhaps from this organizational concept, other city-states developed in other parts of the world and often with surrounding walls. Over the centuries, these city-states proved hard to defend. So they largely vanished from the world scene; though some survived. Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Running Up to Resistance at $16 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Silver has advanced in a satisfactory manner to the first target given in the last update at the resistance in the $14 area and is now at a critical juncture, for there are several factors pointing to its breaking down into a reaction shortly. However, it could instead break above the resistance in the $14 area which would be expected to lead to a steep and rapid run at the strong resistance level in the $16 where exhaustion would set in.

U.S. Dollar Hits Resistance as Gold Uptrend Remains Firm / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
Another week on the up side for gold and silver. Even the U.S, Dollar Index gained during the week. Is this supposed to happen? The Dollar is starting to look weak, see my brief analysis below.
U.S. Dollar Index - The following is just a brief view of the U.S. $ Index and intended to highlight a feature that I think is warning us of problems ahead for this currency. The chart represents the U.S. $ daily action along with a momentum indicator suggesting the strength of this daily action relative to an intermediate term time frame. A few support/resistance trend lines are thrown in for good measure.
