Gold Technical Picture Brightens / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
The technical picture for gold has brightened considerably over the past week, despite the price having continued to drop and the apparent failure of an uptrend. The reasons for this are to be found in the price action of gold itself and in what has been going on elsewhere at the same time.

Gold and Silver Forecast Update / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: G_Abraham
What a month for gold and silver as they peaked and crashed by over 10% this month. But instead of being disspointed, I think this is the perfect fodder and stage for the next super fast bull rally. In fact the next move will be among the powerful and sustainable rallies in 7 year bull run of Gold as it will suck in even the most conservative of funds as Gold takes out levels like $1200, $1300 as if they were fig leaves.

Global Food Crisis 2010 Means Financial Armageddon / Commodities / Food Crisis
By: Eric_deCarbonnel
If you read any economic, financial, or political analysis for 2010 that doesn’t mention the food shortage looming next year, throw it in the trash, as it is worthless. There is overwhelming, undeniable evidence that the world will run out of food next year. When this happens, the resulting triple digit food inflation will lead panicking central banks around the world to dump their foreign reserves to appreciate their currencies and lower the cost of food imports, causing the collapse of the dollar, the treasury market, derivative markets, and the global financial system. The US will experience economic disintegration.

Good Time For Investors To Get Back Into Gold And Mining Stocks? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Please imagine a private room at a posh downtown restaurant. The guest list is invitation only and limited to the wealthiest clients of Bank Edmond de Rothschild, which specializes in private banking and wealth management. Rothschild is legendary with a reputation that has made the name synonymous with banking for several centuries. The family-owned bank has been passed down through generations and kept its reputation and solvency despite political turmoil, wars, persecutions, revolutions and market upheavals. It has done so with what the Rothschilds like to call “instinctive caution.&

Pockets of Promise in Natural Gas and Crude Oil / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: The_Energy_Report
Cheap and attractive, especially in contrast to high-priced oil, natural gas holds some appeal for Stansberry & Associates Investment Research founder Porter Stansberry. He's not exactly a hearty bull about it because the supply glut will keep prices depressed. But on the other hand, he definitely likes the looks of natural gas in emerging markets. As for oil, Porter expects it to do very well if inflation follows what he sees as inevitable declines in the value of the U.S. currency. Read on to learn what he describes in this exclusive Energy Report interview as "probably the best opportunity for oil investors in a very long time, maybe 40 years."

Will the U.S. Dollar Rally End the Gold and Silver Bull Market? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It has become clear to us that the media and so many institutional analysts are going to keep talking the $ up despite the lack of fundamental reasons. We feel that you will benefit most from a look at what lies ahead for the $ and its fundamentals and what could take it higher, if it does rise.

Will Gold Bullion Investors Become Enemies of the State? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
According to Adolf Hitler: "Gold in the hands of the public is an enemy of the state."
I wonder what he meant by this? Was Hitler retarded? Did he have a childhood marred by parental beatings with Gold plated items? Why would he say such a thing?

Why Gold and Silver Will Be the Next Currency / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In the currency game, only one player has dominated throughout the course of history: precious metals. Over time, fiat currencies lose their worth, as governments inflate the paper through printing and confidence is lost with each recession. This phenomenon was proven in the United States with the Continental currency, which was rapidly inflated to pay for the revolutionary war. Thereafter, the inflated Continental dollar was replaced with hard metals, which retained and actually grew in value from 1774 to the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913.

Why Crude Oil Isn’t Safe For Individual Investors / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Graham_Summers
A year ago, I wrote an essay titled, “The Most Important Fact to Know About Oil Investing.” The fact I was referring to was that NO ONE KNOWS WHERE OIL IS HEADING.
Of course, I was being somewhat “tongue-in-cheek” with my analysis, but the reality is that oil investing today has virtually nothing to do with fundamentals or reality, and everything to do with speculation.

Brent Cook on Successful Metals and Mining Exploration Investing / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: The_Gold_Report
No drill results? No worries. Good geology, good management, a good cash position and a good stock price are good enough to coax renowned exploration analyst (and geologist) Brent Cook into buying junior prospect generators and explorers. He finds his sweet spot being near the top of the batting order. If he waits for drill results to confirm what he expects them to reveal, he may miss the best time to buy. With year-over-year returns on his Exploration Insights portfolio averaging 80%—and one superstar at 10 times that!—Brent's clearly hit a few homers with his strategy. But in this exclusive interview, he cautions Gold Report readers against believing everything you read and hear. He says, "It's really, really critical to evaluate what a company's telling you."
