Gold Price Making a Base / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: G_Abraham
I have been on record that am not a gold bug but when opportunity presents itself, one does not care whether one is a bug or not or whether one knows anything about the asset at all. The Gold opportunity is one such case. Nearly the whole world is going negative on it as it has crashed 11% from its peak. Even when it climbed, HUI Gold sentiment index was never close to its all time highs. Now that it has crashed it is well below its average. That just shows Gold is again turning to be hugely a contrarian’s call.

Gold Is Heavy But Could Rebound Here / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mark_Brown
Although December’s heavy sell off in the Gold (and Silver) market confirmed a significant set of monthly and weekly cycle highs, highs that may take this metal some time to meet/exceed, there now appears to be plenty of credible technical evidence to suggest that Gold may be ready to mount a minor rebound rally back up toward the $1,125 to $1,135 price zone. There are a couple of key market analysis tools that we can rely on to see if we can both confirm and then capitalize on a possible swing back up to a major Fibonacci resistance zone. Let’s take a closer look right now.

Gold and Double Dip Recession / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Andrew_Abraham
Countless investors fear a double-dip recession. It is quite possible that a second drop of economic activity during 2010 will occur. It is also quite possible that the supportive actions of governments will run out. Even the central banks are not a bottomless pit ( as long at they have enought paper to print more money).

By: Zeal_LLC
If you peel away the layers of what the mainstreamers classify as materials stocks, you will find the base metals stocks. And it is this group of stocks that represents the mining companies responsible for the supply side of the non-ferrous metals trade.

Jim Rogers on Gold and Dollar, Past and Future / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: LewRockwell
It is the time of the year, when you love to recollect what others said on things you like and dislike.

Rogers' views on gold, silver, platinum, palladium, dollar, pound and agricultural commodities were the most resounding during the whole of 2009.Read full article... Read full article...

China's 2010 Gold Rush / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
Owning gold is more often an end-in-itself than as an investment vehicle...the aim of accumulation, not the means...
THE COLLAPSE in India's gold demand during 2007-09 might seem good reason to question the fundamental strength of gold buying worldwide.

Gold and Silver Stocks Bottom or Downtrend Pause? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The end of the year is usually calm on the capital markets. The volatility is low, as the money managers from all over the world take some time off and spend the Holiday Season with their families. At the same time, the end of the year is a perfect time for summarizing and reviewing this year's actions and making key decisions regarding the next year. The beginning of this essay will not be any different; especially that this is the year during which the Premium Service has been introduced on my website, so I believe that a brief review on this year's performance would be quite useful.

A Happy New Year for Metals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In welcoming 2010, the stars could not be better aligned for precious metal investors. Stimulus spending, coupled with a low federal funds rate and a new jobs program, should put plenty of money in the hands of precious metals holders.

Gold and Silver to Explode with Treasury Issuance in 2010 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Now that 2009 has come to a close, investors are looking forward to the happenings of 2010. One of the most important events is the issuance of nearly $2.2 trillion in Treasury bonds to fund government spending. Although $2.2 trillion seems relatively small compared to a federal debt just over $12 trillion, the size is magnified when you consider its impact on the markets.

Can Gold be the Next Currency? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Andrew_Abraham
I am not a gold bug or an end of the world fanatic… but in all seriousness…Can Gold be the next currency? Honestly…As an investor, I became very concerned about having my assets denominated in U.S. dollars. Even if I was clever enough to denominate my assets in other currencies…the fact is they are all paper not truly backed by anything. However as a commodity trading advisor I believe anything can happen and that means gold can fall in value as well.

U.S. Dollar and Gold Trends into 2010 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
The dollar finally broke through resistance at 23, which has turned into support. Price is backing up and testing support.
The CCI index at the bottom of the chart has gone from overbought (+200) to 89. When an asset moves from being this overbought to back below 100, it often signals a consolidation/correction is likely.

Trend Capture in Commodity Trading / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham
You do not hear that often the word trend capture in commodity trading. Most of the time it is called Trend following. The difference however depending on how the commodity trader or commodity trading advisor trades there are times big draw downs occur as well as big profits are given back in trend following. However this has to be a given in trend following. One makes his money only by capturing those rare big trends. Many times the commodity trader gets whipped around.

Agri-Food's Investing to Profit From China and India Economic and Consumer Growth / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Living in Florida, as this author does, often comes with minor problems. As one of the biggest batches of cold, snowy winter storms ravages North America, records of all kinds are being broken. Dallas, as an example, had a white Christmas for the first time in 80 years. But, the UK also has problems. Winter weather there may have damaged the Brussels sprouts crop. Is that not real suffering? Relative to all that, what is our problem in Florida? Cannot remember where we put that pair of socks last year.

The World According to Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Midas_Letter
Ah….Christmas in Buenos Aires. At the risk of incurring the disdain of the family oriented, I revel in the absence of the cumbersome familiar Yuletide agenda. Instead of turkey, this year there will be steak and steak, with some more steak. That’s because, in case you’ve never been, Argentina reveres the preparation of beef as an elevated form of art. Coincidentally, they also make some of the world’s most interesting wines, and the combination is part of the daily intoxication that infuses the Buenos Aires cultural ambiance.

Gold Is The Decade’s Best Investment / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Frank_Holmes
Happy holidays wishes to all, with a special season’s greetings to the permanent gold skeptics.
The decade that ends Thursday is on track to be the worst in recorded history for the U.S. stock market – worse than all of the many boom-and-bust cycles of the 19th century, worse than the Great Depression-era 1930s, worse than the recession-plagued 1970s.
