Is it Too Late to Buy Gold At This Price? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Michael_J_Kosares
Gold price relativity : What gold owners can learn from the stock bull market of the 1990s
For contemporary market analysis, history begins in the year 1971 when the dollar was detached from gold and the era of free floating gold and exchange rates began. First, we had a gold bull market which began in 1971 and lasted until roughly the 1982/85 time period. Then we had a stock bull market that began in between 1982/85 and topped in roughly 2000. The current bull market in gold began in 2000 and, if it were to follow form, could be expected to top sometime around 2015-2017.

By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Imagine owning a company where consumers have no choice but to buy the firm's product. Consumers have no choice but to buy food. The choice is not between a new cell phone or food. Consumers buy their food first, and then consider other products. Despite the nonsense put out by economists at the Federal Reserve and other centers of misinformation, food and energy are the most important components of the consumers' spending basket.

Gold and Silver Analysis - Precious Points: Liftoff? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Joe_Nicholson
“If … an ongoing correction pattern since the May 2006… proves to be the case, gold will have to plunge at least to the 50-week moving average and quite possibly lower. Hence the caution expressed in the newsletter recently. If the gains in precious metals are not corrective and in fact are already the start of a truly impulsive bullish wave, then not only will the target for the corrective wave be exceeded, we could easily see gold move over $800 and challenge nominal all time highs.Read full article...

These commentators even say, that German gold sales will eventually begin. We could not disagree more strongly! Read full article... Read full article...
