Gold Bull Market Low Risk Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold and gold stocks have had a nice controlled correction over the past 9 days. We look to be nearing the bottom of the bull trend channel, which could be a great buy point.

Weimar Hyperinflation Gold And Silver Ratio Revisited / Commodities / Articles
I wrote an article some years back pointing out an interesting fact about gold and silver during the great Weimar hyperinflation. That article lay dormant for some time until last October when I suddenly received dozens of emails about it from gold investors. As it turned out, the article had been mentioned on the website of one of gold's well known commentators and hence the rush of emails.Read full article... Read full article...

Tyler Mordy: Gold-Backed ETFs on a Roll / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
It was Warren Buffett who said that you learn who's been swimming naked when the tide goes out. But it is Tyler Mordy who's pointing out the few swimsuit-clad investment products standing on the shore now that the tide of economic growth has clearly ebbed—and some of them have a golden glow. A widely recognized innovator in the design and application of actively managed Exchange Traded Fund portfolios, Tyler is Research Director for HAHN Investment Stewards and publishes its ETFocus every other month. In this exclusive interview, he tells The Gold Report readers that global multi-asset ETF portfolios having investments in gold and gold stocks present excellent opportunities not only for preserving but building wealth. Case in point: inflows of 105 tons into gold-backed ETFs in January—approximately half the world's gold mine output for the month—pushed ETF bullion holdings to a record 1,317 tons.Read full article...

Could Obama Push Crude Oil to $300 Per Barrel / Commodities / Crude Oil

Gold GLD ETF Pullback Doesn't Inflict Meaningful Technical Damage / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
No, the gold and SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) markets have not provided much in any sort of hedge in the past week or so. However, looked at from a relative strength perspective, the enclosed chart pattern of the GLD clearly remains the inverse of the major equity market ETFs. Let's notice that the GLD has pulled back about 7% from its Feb 20th high, but has not inflicted any damage to the underlying chart structure. In fact, the GLD has pulled back to its mid-Feb upside break point, in the vicinity of 90.00-91.00, which thus far has contained the selling pressure.Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Dollar Double Top Points to New Gold Bull Run / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold ran at its highs of last March, before reacting back heavily, as expected and predicted in the last update. The 1-year chart makes very clear why it has reacted back so. It hit the upper return line of a steep uptrend channel in a very overbought condition as shown by the RSI and slow stochastic on this chart, and various other oscillators that are not shown. Hence it had very little chance of following through with a breakout to new highs, as we had earlier observed. Despite its retreating back from the vicinity of its dollar highs there can be doubt that recent action has been bullish and augers well for the future, for with the break above the October highs, gold can be seen to have broken the trend of lower highs and lower lows that dogged it last year, with the result that all its principal moving averages have swung into bullish alignment - and it has broken above the last restraining fan line, opening the door to another major upleg.Read full article...
