Gold Minor Pullback or a Major Correction? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Donald W. Pendergast writes: Wow – what a week it was in the world of Gold! After charging above $1,200 on the front-month futures contract earlier in the week, Gold finally finished the week on a very weak note, closing below $1,150, which was right above the low established a week earlier in the wake of the Dubai debt debacle. Clearly, Gold is beginning a trend reversal on a daily-based time frame, but the technical picture is less clear over the long-term. Let’s examine a weekly chart for GLD (one of the financial instruments that holds actual Gold) to get a better fix on what might be expected in this volatile market over the next month or so.

Can You Lose Money By Owning Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Can You Lose Money By owning Gold? So many gold bugs think this is absolutely impossible. However as a commodity trading advisor… I believe anything can happen and stick to a thought out plan. Let me give you an example, In the 1980s gold reached $1223 and investors were throwing money at gold. However almost 30 years have gone by and nada..I mean even in a savings account someone would have out performed gold. Do you prefer sleeping at night with your gold…are you sure the world will end? Should you blindly follow the hedge fund biggies…like John Paulson,Paul Tudor Jones and David Einhorn?

Gold in High Risk Period, Could Test Support at $970 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Chairman Bernanke is in the process of being reconfirmed in his role as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. While some criticism of the Federal Reserve was forthcoming at the Senate hearings, why were not true alternative candidates considered? Henny Penny, for one, comes to mind. One of the Three Blind Mice would also seem to be a good candidate. How about an ostrich that each time an asset price bubble seems possible, it puts its head in the sand?

Gold GLD and Silver SLV ETFs Forecast Updates / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The last time I wrote about GLD and SLV, November 21, I said this about GLD
It may be a bit extended for new positions as it is quite a bit of distance from all of its MAs. If the current count is correct, GLD may be near the end of its Intermediate wave 3, or that wave may be extending

How Deep will the Gold Correction Be? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Four waves are the clue to the answer.
“The primary guideline is that corrections, especially when they themselves are fourth waves, tend to register their maximum retracement within the span of travel of the previous fourth wave of one lesser degree, most commonly near the level of its terminus.” E. W. P.

Peter Grandich Says its Silver's Turn to Shine / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Not that there's a link between the two, but as the legendary Peter Grandich celebrates his silver anniversary as a market commentator, he tells The Gold Report in this exclusive interview that having been left behind in the big run-up in gold, silver's time has come to steal the limelight for a while. Peter, who started publishing The Grandich Letter 25 years ago and this month celebrates his first anniversary as Agoracom's market analyst too, also considers the current stock market rally as a gift delivered in the eye of the storm. Longer term, he expects America's underlying economic problems to result in prolonged sagging trading performance such as Japan has experienced over the past 20 years. Accordingly, he's alerting investors "to remove their bullish hats if they're still wearing them." As Peter's motto goes, "It's better to be a live chicken versus a dead duck."

Have Gold and Silver Topped?, Precious Metals Stocks Provide Important Clues / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The precious metals market is declining just as I mentioned in the previous essay, but before I proceed with providing you with my thoughts on the current situation, I would like to put this analysis into proper perspective.
I’m in London this week and the city is vibrant. Rubbing elbows in Piccadilly Circus with the crowds rushing to catch the latest West End show, you hardly feel that there is a global economic crisis. Londoners seemed to have shrugged off the Dubai crises, as did the rest of the world. They seem to be happily unaware, or else they are ignoring, the fact that Britain’s government debt is on the rise and is expected to be more than 80 percent of the nation’s economic output next year.

Keeping an Eye on Silver's Pivot Low / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Although the dollar is strong and the precious metals and iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV) are under pressure today, my work has been telling me to expect a correction in the complex coming into today, regardless of the reaction of the financial markets to the Jobless data. For me, from a technical perspective, the only thing that matters right here is last Friday’s pivot Dubai low at 17.49 in the SLV.
