Precious Metals vs A One Global Currency / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
An article on Reuters recently indicated a United Nations panel has decided much of the world would like to move away from the American currency as the world’s reserve currency. This panel wanted to look into a “basket of currencies” or perhaps another entirely different, new currency to replace the U.S. dollar. Additionally, both the Russians and Chinese have indicated similar concerns.

Gold and Gold Stocks Should Do Well During Economic Depression / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
I. M. Vronsky writes: As you well know the financial press is overly harping the theme of another Great Depression. One can make a logical case that it will happen, as well as it will probably not happen. To be sure the Herculean efforts by the Obama Administration and China et all imply that we are at the very precipice of 1930s like scenario. Frankly, I do not believe another Great Depression will develop, but I do know gold stocks will do well one way or the other. In this regard I hope MARKET ORACLE might consider an old article of mine for publication as it proves gold and in particular gold stocks should do well in a Great Depression.Read full article...

Gold Sentiment and its Relative Trend Picture / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
While I continue to believe that the next breakout in Gold is still months away, we have seen in just a short while, some very encouraging signs on the sentiment front. Accumulating is certainly a wiser prospect now that the luster of the metals has faded yet only superficially.

Gold Attempting to Consolidate at Lower Levels / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold and silver rose marginally in US trading yesterday and have largely traded sideways in Asian and European trading. Gold appears to be consolidating in the $865/oz to $900/oz region and needs a higher weekly close (above $883/oz) and then a close above $900/oz to look good from a technical perspective. This looks quite possible but there are very determined sellers at the $900/oz level who have so far impeded gold’s advance.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold and Silver Rise on General Motors Bankruptcy Fears / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold and silver rose yesterday as stocks came under pressure with increasing fears regarding General Motors possible bankruptcy. Ostensibly positive news from the financials (Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs) has lifted markets in recent days but there are concerns that the positive results may have had more to do with government largesse (with tax payers money) and innovative accounting rather than any meaningful return to profitability. The rest of the reporting season is unlikely to be so positive as companies and sectors not bailed out and supported by government are set to struggle which will likely see stocks under pressure again.Read full article...

Follow the Yellow Brick Road of Gold, Peace And Prosperity / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Professor Antal E. Fekete’s paper, The Marginal Productivity of Debt – Why Obama’s Stimulus Package Is Doomed to Failure, ends with the following paragraph: Indeed, the financial and economic collapse of the last two years must be seen as part of the progressive disintegration of Western civilization that started with government sabotage of the gold standard early in the twentieth century. Ben Bernanke, who should have been fired by the new president on the day after Inauguration for his part in causing irreparable damage to the American republic may, in the end, have the honor to administer the coup de grâce to our civilization.Read full article...

Silver Outlook Strongly Bullish / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The outlook for silver is viewed as very bullish, with a fine Cup and Handle base now approaching completion, that is shown on the accompanying 1-year silver chart. There are a number of interesting observations that we can make looking at this chart. The first is that once silver broke below what was strong support at the $16 level back last August it went into a severe decline. After initially plunging the rate of decline eased off as it started to form a bowl shaped bottom area that togethor with the recent reaction we can define as a Cup and Handle base.Read full article...

Gold Bullish Factors Suggest Downtrend Near Bottom / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Why can't folks break the habit of being so pessimistic at market bottoms? Not that we're complaining, if they did that would be one less thing that we'd have to go on. With people writing in to say that gold is going to $800, or $700, things are definitely looking up. Funny that, I don't recall them writing in with these targets when gold touched $1000 in mid-February. Sentiment stinks, which is something that emboldens us. Earlier on, we had been in the pessimistic camp too as the pattern that has formed in gold from mid-January does look like a Head-and-Shoulders top that would project the price down to at least $800, but a confluence of bullish factors suggests that we are very close to a bottom, right now.Read full article...

Gold the Real Win Win Investment / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Larry Edelson writes: The Dow has just put in its biggest four-week gain since the bottom of the Depression in 1933, roaring more than 19 percent off its March 9 low.
Natural resources are also plowing higher, with oil leading the way — jumping more than 8 percent in a single day last week. The U.S. dollar, too, is acting as I forecast. It's starting to slide, albeit slowly, back into its long-term downtrend.
