By: Clif_Droke
It was a typical options expiration week with markets showing a lassitude that normally accompanies this event.

Gold's Manipulated Slow Stead Climb Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
It’s been a steady climb all week, even on minus days the lows were always higher. However, the action still is not enthusiastic. Not that gold is about to plunge, it’s just that it doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere fast.

Gold, When to Buy and Sell? Where Next? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It is always so easy to ask someone, “Can I buy at the bottom and sell at the top?” But life doesn’t let too many of us do that and when it does it has a nasty habit of letting us do it once or maybe twice then lets us get it wrong after that. Many believe that once you have the technical picture giving the top and the bottom that will do the trick, but alas, many technical analysts will come up with different prices for tops and bottoms.

Reflections on the Price of Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
I wrote an essay about gold a few weeks ago (Gold Price Forecast: Market-Long-Wave Analysis 2009-2012)
What was bothering me was along the lines of what Adam Smith once said, that "an owner-occupier house generates no income for its owner". That's of course until (perhaps) when he sells it; (equity withdrawals don't count- you are supposed to pay the money back so it's not income, and in those days they weren't blessed with the joys of credit default swaps). Gold is pretty similar.

Silver Mining Company Implications of a “Sullivan-style Massive Sulfide Beds” Project Model / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
I almost always focus these weekly missives on the precious metals or economy but seldom write about mining companies. This week I decided to give our readers a little taste of one high potential situation we have been following closely. The name and symbol are left out intentionally because many Internet hosting sites do not want company names involved. This is intended to give the reader some insight into the type of potential a Massive Sulfide discovery may entail.

Government Wealth Destroying Policies to Drive Gold Much Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Will the wealth destroying policies of the Obama Regime make the People's Bank of China full-fledged Gold Bugs? Chinese officials announce their purchases of Gold, and continue to raise concerns about U.S. economic policy and the associated implications for the value of the U.S. dollar. One might think they have indeed become Gold Bugs. If that be the case, no real surprise should be registered. A casual observation of government economic policies around the world, and in particular in the U.S., since the invention of the central banking and fiat money would convert any rational individual into a Gold Bug. Given the wealth destroying policies of the Obama Regime, a large number of people might wake up to be Gold Bugs.
