Silver Prices Take Tea with 200dma / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bob_Kirtley
The summer doldrums have descended upon us as evidenced by the lackluster performance of the producers, however, this should be thought of as the bargain hunting season, especially for silver bugs. The broader market is looking a tad rocky to say the least which could also have a knock on effect for the silver producers. The UD dollar would now appear to have formed a new downward trend as we suggested just two days after it topped in early June.

Gold Miners Upside Potential as Price Targets $1500 During 2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
Fascinated to see gold soar in a period of low inflation, Beacon Rock Research Founder Mike Niehuser won't be surprised if it crosses the threshold into 2011 at above the $1,500 price point. Whether it levels off or reaches new heights, Mike explains where to seek investment opportunities in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report. According to him, companies with improving near-term production, pipeline projects to expand reserves and promising exploration prospects present better-than-average potential for returns. Because the market is pricing some pessimism into equities these days, he also sees good opportunities in companies with strong potential to increase fundamental value.

Government Moves to Tax, Track All Gold Transactions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mac_Slavo
When Nancy Pelosi said we have to pass the bill before we can find out what’s in it, few had any idea that the Obama health care legislation would expand well beyond the health care industry.
According to an ABC news report, the new 1099 provisions in the health care bill, which will force business owners to declare all purchases over $600 on their yearly tax return, will also directly affect the sale of gold coins and bullion:

Fresh Irony for Swiss Central-Bank Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
The SNB can neither squash gold, nor (yet) destroy its own currency. But not for lack of trying...
GOOD JOB that gold bullion is just an inert lump of metal and holds no grudges.

The Mysterious 380-Tonne Gold Swap and Genius Gold Bugs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Daughty
Those of us who are now called “gold bugs” will soon be referred to as “genius rich persons who must be obeyed” because we bought gold, silver and oil while the rest of the world got laughably infatuated with paper assets, which top scholars will tell you shows why the word “infatuated” sounds sort of like “flatulence” in a secret-code kind of way, which (when one has successfully calibrated one’s Mogambo Secret Decode Ring (MSDR)) can be unscrambled to reveal the message, “You will be so rich that when you fart, you can ask ‘What is that smell?’ and all around you people who have been losing everything by not buying gold, silver and oil will answer in unison ‘It is truly the smell of sweet, sweet roses, second in delight only to the heavenly odor of your feet, oh, glorious genius rich person!’ because they know what will happen to them if they don’t.”

Gold and Silver Capitalizing on Ignorance / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldSilver
We are not living under true free market capitalism right now. Free markets require free market money. Fifty percent of every transaction involves currency. You have to allow the market to pick what money is and what interest rates are (the price of money itself).

Is Now a Good Time to Buy Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, Senior Editor, Casey’s Gold & Resource Report writes:
While we’re convinced gold and gold stocks are destined for much higher levels, buying when prices are low can mean the difference between a double or triple and a ten-bagger... a week in Malibu vs. a week in Milan.
There’s no secret formula to buying low, and we aren’t holding the right hand of Midas, but there are periods when prices tend to be lower than others. And if those tendencies play out, it can give us the opportunity to snag a high-quality asset at a bargain price.

Uranium Investing Plays / Commodities / Uranium
By: The_Energy_Report
You don't hear a lot of talk about uranium these days. It's just not as sexy as gold or silver. But with a host of reactors slated for construction, the sector is rife with opportunities. Haywood Securities Analyst Geordie Mark visits numerous uranium projects each year, researching plays at all levels. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Geordie tells us why he's given "sector outperform" ratings to no less than 11 companies. It could be the most comprehensive global roundup of uranium plays anywhere

Gold Daily and Weekly Charts; Silver Weekly Chart; Bernanke's Bluff; Endgame / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jesse
The Federal Reserve and its friends in the European central banks, the IMF, and BIS are running a bluff against the developing nations and the rest of the world, and to their shame, the majority of their own people.
They will have to engage in wider scale monetization and 'quantitative easing,' which is a polite euphemism for the debasement of the currency, to cover the collapse of their expansion of the money supply, the misprision of felony, and the subornation of perjury, to facilitate the mass transfer of wealth from the public to their friends. This is why they must operate in the dark. Ponzi schemes must always expand, and always in secret.

Is It Time to Buy Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: INO
It would appear that the euphoria over gold has quickly diminished and many of gold's greatest proponents, who were calling for gold to go over $2,000 an ounce, appear to be disheartened and shell-shocked by the recent sharp downturn in gold.

When This Indicator Says to ‘Buy Gold,’ It’s Never Wrong / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: When I recently predicted that the long-term trends were in place to send gold to $5,000 an ounce, I was stunned by all the attention that my forecast received.
Granted, a move of that magnitude represents a dizzying long-term profit opportunity. But that's just it - it's a long-term profit opportunity.

Has Gold Had Its Day? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Again this week, the minutes of the Fed's meeting gave cause for concern as they stated that the risks to the U.S. economy had moved to the downside. While this cannot be read as a forecast of the 'double-dip' recession, it moves it from possible to probable in our eyes. With the U.S. and developed world [excluding Asia] supposedly on the path to recovery, it has been very "L" shaped. It is at that sensitive stage where it needs people to believe that it will get better and become supportive through spending and buying again.

By: Lorimer_Wilson
Believe it or not but I have identified 72 economists, academics, gold analysts and market commentators who have developed sound rationale as to why gold could quite possibly go to a parabolic top of at least $2,500 an ounce to even as much as an unimaginable $15,000 before the bubble finally pops!
