Gold Gains New Friends / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: HRA_Advisory
Press rumors of planning meetings to shift crude pricing away from the US$, plus a 0.25% increase in Australia’s bank rate, has put some serious bounce in gold and silver prices. The yellow metal has convincingly moved past its old high, in US$ terms, and we expect that move to continue. Whether the details of the meetings reported in London’s The Independent are accurate in every detail or not, markets have had no problem accepting the basic point that the greenback cannot expect long term support as the globe’s reserve currency.Read full article...

Gold IS the Best Game in Town / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Neil_Charnock
Gold IS the best game in town and when the music stops it may be the ONLY game in town that can yield any sort of return. The music I refer to here is the sound of spin given some measure of credibility (only to the un-initiated) by massive stimulus spending which has kept this farce of an economy on its last legs through various stages for 9 years.

Gold implications of Central Banks Monetizing the Financial Markets / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
Around 2005, I wrote an article that predicted that when the US housing bubble broke, there would be a stock/financial crash – and this:
“When markets collapse, the US Fed and other central banks will end up having to buy up the markets, and basically monetize them…in the $trillions”

Commodity Trading Report for Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Precious Metals – Gold GLD fund – Silver SLV Fund – PM Stocks GDX Fund
We could start to see a shift between the price relationship between gold and the broad market. I pointed this out last week mentioning that gold and silver are starting to hold up in value while stocks sell off on big days. For example, Wednesday’s sell-off in equities did not have much effect on precious metals. This is what we want to see. It means money is moving out of stocks and into gold and silver bullion as a safe haven.

Natural Gas Market, What's Going On? / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Charles_Maley
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted – Arthur Miller (American Playwright)
There has been a fair amount of talk about the glut of Natural Gas on the market today and how full capacity storage could threaten us by the end of the year. This is a very interesting situation. We are running close to full capacity, yet natural gas prices refuse to go down. In fact, we have had quite a rally off the September lows, moving from slightly below $3.50 to $5.23, up just shy of 50% (November contract).

What's Behind the Big Jump in the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Since the bull gold market began in 2001, Gold Drivers Report publisher and Bullion Store proprietor Eric Hommelberg argues that gold has significantly outperformed the Dow in terms of valuations, and as he sees it, the bull run will last at least until the middle of the next decade. The rhythm of this market over the past eight years tells him that $1,000 gold is history, and we can expect the current climb to push the price past the $1,250 mark next spring. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, Eric tells readers why. He also explains that while he prefers the precious metals in physical form, he recommends holding a select set of junior explorers, too—ones with trustworthy, savvy managements and promising drill results.
