Gold Breakout, Buy Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Puru_Saxena
Two day ago, the price of gold broke out to a new high and we are delighted with this result. As you will recall, we were expecting an upward breakout in gold and it looks as though its price will now surge over the following months. It is noteworthy that since the breakout occurred, gold has managed to stay above the previous high. The longer the price of gold stays above US$1,030, the greater the probability that the yellow metal will stage a spectacular rally until spring next year.

Key Levels to Watch for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The most salient feature of the weekly chart of spot gold is a cluster of critical support left behind this week at $1000-$985.00. Now that gold prices have spike to $1050 – likely on the way to $1180-$1220 next – any “intervening” weakness should be bought unless and until the price structure chews below $1000-$985. First pullback buy zone is $1037-$1033, with the second pullback buy zone at $1025-$1020. We’ve been participating in gold via the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) and Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX).

A New Way to Value Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mac_Slavo
Within the context of the current economic crisis we have often heard about the flight to quality and safety assets, with gold being discussed as one such asset. Gold, the argument goes, is the best asset to protect against inflation. While this may be true to an extent, as perceptions drive markets, the view that gold is an inflation protecting asset is not necessarily accurate. If one considers gold to be a hedge not against inflation, but rather, a defense asset against the increasing risk of government instability, then inflation is actually the result of a deeper cause.

By: Larry_Edelson

Gold Breakout Alert, Powerful Uptrend Imminent / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
The impending gold breakout has been so long in the making that it has engendered a "we'll believe it when we see it" mentality amongst most market participants. What this means of course is that most will miss out on the big easy gains that will accrue during the dynamic phase of the next major uptrend and will turn up late at the party, as usual. We ourselves have had lingering doubts engendered in large part by the perceived risk of a dollar rally, but these doubts are now dissipating for reasons that will be set below.

Gold Price Forecast, New All Time High, Now How Much Higher? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Midas_Letter
The breaking of the old record high price for gold today is no surprise to long-time critics of American and thus global financial policy. Regardless of how much spin you can generate from a compromised media, the laws of supply and demand re-assert themselves inevitably. Will this bring the mainstream investor crowd any closer to the understanding that the gold standard is precisely that, and has not been diminished but merely obscured by the powerful marketing forces of the United States Treasury and her feckless whoring sister, The United States Federal Reserve?

Gold and Silver Stocks Sentiment Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In analyzing the sentiment towards gold stocks, I am going to start with a tactic from Bernie Schaeffer of Schaeffer’s Research. I believe he espouses the idea of looking at the consensus view of analysts. If most analysts are bullish on a stock or sector, then where is the money going to come from to push shares higher? Conversely, if a sector is rising but the analysts are not bullish, they can change their mind and that provides further buying power.

Gold Surges to New All Time High on Petro-dollar Threat / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
The dollar came under sustained pressure as the Independent of London's Robert Fisk broke a story stating that a group of Arab countries, Russia, France, Japan and China and others were in secret discussions to use a basket of currencies and gold to replace the dollar in order to trade oil. Although some officials have denied this report, the fact that it is mentioned at all raises the question as to how much longer the dollar will remain the global reserve currency. According to Chinese banking sources, the transitional currency in the move away from dollars, may well be gold.
