Three Reasons Gold Might Be Making a Head Fake / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
As many commentators have pointed out Gold has been on an absolute tear during the last month, soaring above $1,000 before closing at an all time high of $1,092. Since that time a number of investing heavyweights (Jim Rogers, John Paulson, etc.) have begun predicting gold prices of ranging from $2,000-$5,000.

Will Silver Outperform Gold Immediately or Wait a Little Longer? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The recent huge purchase of gold by the Indian central bank triggered a substantial rally that took gold to new (nominal - !) highs gathered a lot of attention and generated a substantial rally. I’ve touched this subject in my previous essay, but since this topic is so popular, I would like to put additional comments this time, but from a different point of view.

Keep an Eye on Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
It should come as no surprise to anyone who trades or who has traded silver that it is much more volatile than gold. In fact, since yesterday's highs in the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV) and the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD), the SLV has had a 3% correction whereas the GLD has had a sparse 1.2% pullback. Something we are going to have to get accustomed to in order to get the benefit of the approaching "silver catch-up" rally.

Gold Bugs Madness / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

“Lord, what fools these mortals be” A Midsummer Nights Dream Act 3, scene 2, 110–115
Shakespeare
“Shakespeare's judgment seems to be that love is a form of madness that prompts the lover to act in very foolish ways, indeed. As Duke Theseus says, lovers, like madmen and poets, are fantasists, "of imagination all compact [composed]" (Act 5, scene 1, 8).” www.enotes.com/shakespeare

Gold Strongest Market of 2009, Even Central Banks are Buying / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
There is only one market making new highs – gold. Stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, whatever, are nowhere near gold’s level. Gold is the strongest of the strong. Central banks are starting to buy it, as evidenced by India’s recent purchase. Russia and China plan to buy more to hold as reserves.

Gold and Cadillacs / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Hewitt
While gold is not commonly considered as a medium of exchange like paper currency, it still acts as an excellent store of value. On August 15, 1971 the so-called "gold window" was closed. Previously, the US dollar was redeemable by non-Americans at a rate of US$35 per troy ounce. Shortly after this event, General Motors came out with a new version of the Cadillac Eldorado - the longest running American personal luxury car.

Incompetent Central Banks Gold Invest by Selling Low and Buying High / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Wow, the light bulb finally went on last week. Perhaps we have never truly understood investing. Bank of England in the 1990s was selling Gold as it plunged to below $300. Now, with Gold soaring above US$1,000, the Reserve Bank of India is buying. The trick is to apparently sell low and buy high. We always thought it went the other way. But we do note a distinct difference in this pattern from buying high and then selling low. If only central bankers had revealed this secret of high level investing earlier, how much happier we all would have been.

India-IMF Deal a Tipping Point for Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Frank_Holmes
Has a new floor been set at $1,000 per ounce?
India’s deal to buy 200 metric tons (6.4 million troy ounces) of gold from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a huge deal – not just the fact that the New Delhi government is handing over $6.7 billion for the metal, but what it may mean for gold going forward.

The Day the Bears Lost Control of Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Bill_Downey
In was another incredible month as gold continued to outshine all other major investment themes by being the only investment that has broken out to new highs since the global meltdown of 2008. Not only is gold making new highs (1100 this week), it is doing so in a fashion that accelerated the price this week in terms of velocity, momentum, volume, and daily price range. Even the pullbacks are chart bullish recently as the best the bears can do is get gold to consolidate and trade sideways for three or four days and then gold moves up again.

Big Profits Still in Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Howard_Katz
On November 4, gold pulled back to $1025, and that was the turn. It gained 75 points over the next 6 days, including a 30 day whopper when India bought 200 tonnes of gold from the IMF. On Friday, $1100 was breached (interday on the Comex, Dec. future).
Is it too late to become a gold bug? Are you one of those who did not listen to the one-handed economist? Worse, did you fly to “safety” in the U.S. dollar? Are you thinking, “Is it too late to buy?” The answer is in the chart above.

Silver Overhanging Supply Preventing Breakout Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Whereas gold has forged ahead to new highs in recent weeks, silver has got bogged down working off overhanging supply, which is the price it is paying for having dropped like a rock last year, so that even though it has risen proportionally more than gold this year, it had so much ground to make up that it still hasn't broken out to new highs.

Gold Bull Market Target Revised Higher to $1400 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Last week gold's major new uptrend became established when following a successful test of support at the breakout point it advanced to new highs, indifferent to temporary dollar strength. The new uptrend is expected to be at least of similar magnitude and duration to the great uptrends of 2005 - 2006 and 2007 - 2008 and if it is we are looking at very significant gains over the intermediate-term, which is certainly suggested by the recent powerful breakouts of many junior mining stocks.

Will Russia Really Sell Gold or Keep Buying? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Russia’s central bank has bought 180 tonnes since June 2006 and another Russian Agency holds off selling 50 tonnes. What’s going on?
It takes a long time to buy useful quantities of gold in the ‘open’ market. It has taken Russia over 3 years to buy 180 tonnes there. We imagine that they set price limits on their buying. This meant they bought more in one month than in the next, as the gold came onto the market. There is no reason to believe that that policy has changed.
