Gold To Consolidate Above Support at $985/oz / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

The erratic nature of the dollar, at the moment, means that gold may still have its direction dictated by dollar volatility and traders may exploit this and push the limits of gold support in the short term, looking for favourable entry points.

Secular Bear Market Warning, Preserve Your Wealth with Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
“I’m not so much interested in the return on my money as I am the return of my capital." --Will Rogers
In this extraordinary environment, preserving your personal wealth becomes priority one. Before you make another major financial decision, it is imperative to understand the big picture by recognizing and understanding three critical issues.

Third, we are at a pivotal point in the long-term investment cycle. Let’s examine each of these three keys in more detail.

Gold Falls as Markets Ignore Iranian Geopolitical Threat / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
A stronger dollar and a bout of profit taking saw gold slip back to the low $980s per ounce in early morning trading. It is currently trading at $989/oz and if it fails to pull itself above $990/oz, it may correct back further to $970/oz before support is found. Increasing tensions with Iran have not created a geopolitical safe haven bid but these tensions merit watching.

Gold Dip Below $1,000 and NO Retirement / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
All the scaredy-cats are trembling in their shoes this week as gold dipped below the $1,000 level. Foolish people. Can’t they see that the U.S. dollar is in free fall? We told subscribers this on August 3, when the U.S. dollar index broke 78.20, thus completing a double top.

Prepare for Panic Buying in the World's Most Despised Asset / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Jeff Clark writes: Evolution takes a long time.
Scientists figure it took about 5 million years for Australopithecus to lift his shoulders, raise his head, and lose enough back hair to evolve into the modern man. Who knows what is in store for our species over the next 5 million years? The only certain thing is none of us will be around to see it.

Gold to Usher in Brave New World / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
“You Lie!” - Looks like US politics are starting to heat up a bit.
The nation deserves a little excitement. Clinton was a lot of fun but George just seemed to put us all to sleep. The way both parties are going at it today you’d think this was Custer’s Last Stand. Maybe a better analogy is the Rubicon.

Inflation Is Mortally Wounded And Rapidly Fading, Dump Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
It is my opinion that you should ignore all fundamental stories and statistics about runaway prices and hyperinflation at least for the next 8 to 12 months.

A rare, very rare, opportunity to acquire gold, silver, and their shares at lower than bargain prices will arrive when the [C] leg down that I have been describing and writing about bottoms. This report presents quarterly logarithmic charts of gold, silver, the HUI, and the U. S. Dollar Index.

Its work involves destroying overly enthusiastic precious metals bulls.
