Making Sense of Precious Markets Turbulence- Gold, Silver, HUI Technical's / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Zeal_LLC
After an exceptionally turbulent month in the precious-metals complex, many traders are trying to make sense out of all the chaos. Did the recent violent retreats in gold, silver, and the HUI gold-stock index likely mark the ends of their respective uplegs? Or do these strong uplegs probably remain intact?
Obviously this question is crucial as the prudent tactical trading strategy going forward varies radically based on its answer. If these PM uplegs have given up their ghosts, then it makes sense for traders to unload their remaining long positions and maybe even get short. But if these PM uplegs persist, then the gains to come will still be reaped on the long side.

Russian Gold and Texas Tea / Commodities / Russia
By: James_R_Voigt
What do Texas and Russia have in common?
Is it the vast wide open spaces that are prevalent to both Texas and Russia ? Or is it the references to the "Texas of Russia" for the regions of the former Soviet Union that have shown an independent, “wild west” spirit, just like Texas past? Why even George Bush and Vladimir Putin have been barbequing together in Texas . Is that it?

IMF Gold Sales Will be Very Good for the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Most commentators we now read are taking the potential I.M.F. gold sales as a foregone conclusion. With the unknown quantity of the U.S. Congress [who are fully aware of just how good an investment gold has been and will likely be], who blocked the sales last time it was proposed, the sale is by no means a foregone conclusion.

The answer is exceptionally positive, after we consider the views of the I.M.F. itself on just how the sales will be orchestrated.Read full article... Read full article...
