The “Richest” Natural Gas Stocks Now Made Public / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Keith_Schaefer
A group of natural gas producers in North America are discovering the secret sauce to profits, and as a result many of them are outperforming their peers.
It’s called “wet gas” or “liquid rich gas” or “natural gas liquids” or “NGL”, but any way you spell it, you get better cash flow than just regular “dry” gas. (Dry gas is methane.)

Growing Bullish Psychology for Gold GLD ETF / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Gold and the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) act very well today, in sympathy with the upward pressure on the stock indices, as well as because the dollar is considerably weaker.
I cannot help but think that also playing into today's mix is the WSJ article about the Fed reviewing its options if the economy weakens "again." From a gold bug's perspective, I have to think that the prospect of ZERO or NEGATIVE interest rates for an indefinite time period, coupled with THE DESIRE by the world's institutions to "create inflationary expectations" in a grand effort to avert a deflationary spiral, have to be underpinning a growing bullish psychology for gold.

By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: Overnight, Afghanistan has gone from being a political pariah to one of the most significant, and potentially richest, countries on the globe. But can the rocky, war-torn desert - known mostly for harboring terrorists and exporting opium - be reborn as a major commodities exporter?

This chart shows the US Dollar gradually heading south over this three day snap shot. Once the heat comes off the Euro the dollar will be next to go under pressure as the fundamentals look none too rosy

By: Marin_Katusa
By Marin Katusa, Chief Investment Strategist, Casey Research Energy team: Two years ago, British Columbia’s premier electric utility company, BC Hydro, issued its “Clean Power Call” – a bid for the province to achieve electric self-sufficiency through renewable energy by 2016. That aggressive goal sparked an intense competition. Renewable energy companies of all stripes were jostling each other to prove that their project was the best, and to win a coveted Electricity Purchase Agreement (EPA).

Gold and Commodities Technical Charts Analysis / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Steve_Betts
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph"- Haile Selassie
There are some things that only a politician could dream up. The State of New York, in its infinite wisdom, needed to make a US $6 billion payment to their employee’s pension fund. Since the State doesn’t have the money, and no one is willing to buy their debt, lawmakers voted to allow the State and municipalities to borrow US $6 billion from the same pension fund in order to pay their obligations! If you wanted to have budget cuts, simply withhold all the wages for the politicians until they come up with a real solution!

Bill Gates and the Energy Research Dilemma / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: OilPrice_Com
There is an idea that has been around for a long time, at least since the fall of 1973: All that stands between the United States and an abundant energy future is a lack of spending on research and development. It is as though the Knights Templar could find the Holy Grail, if only the Pope would commit just a few more resources to the hunt.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Set for New Record Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold rallied on the open in Asia and has maintained those gains in early trading in Europe as the dollar has. Last week's all time higher weekly close was important technically and means that gold's technicals remain strong after its recent weekly and monthly (May) higher closes. Indeed, momentum traders and those making "the trend their friend" could push gold to new (nominal) highs in the coming days.

Gold Bugs All Aboard the Last Train For The Coast / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
All aboard, dear gold bugs. The train is slowly picking up speed and is leaving the station. It is your last chance to get aboard at a price reasonably close to $1,000/oz. Now you may not agree that $1,250 is reasonably close to $1,000, but when you see gold at $3,000, then you will agree. From the vantage of $3,000, then $1,000, $1,250 no big deal. The point is to be long of gold.

Gulf Oil Spill Could Spark Agri-Food's Wheat Commodity Ethanol Demand / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Many people would feel rich with a $1,000 in their wallet. But, it might really depend where one was. In New York City or London, a thousand dollars does not go very far. However, if one was in Uruguay, that grand might be meaningful wealth. True value of what one has in hand of anything, be it money or wheat, depends on how much of it one will consume each day.

Gold Going to Parabolic Top of $10,000 by 2012 For Good Reasons / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
No wishful thinking here! As I see it gold is going to a parabolic top of $10,000 by 2012 for very good reasons - sovereign debt defaults, bankruptcies of “too big to fail” banks and other financial entities, currency inflation and devaluations - which will all contribute to rampant price inflation.

Gold New High Was Not Decisive / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
The week started out well but didn’t finish as such. Although gold made new highs it was not decisive. Should gold drop below the $1216 mark we might be in for more downside but if it closes above the $1250 level then the bull is expected to continue.
