Gold Well Below Inflation Adjusted 1980 High in Deutsche Mark / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold has remained firm despite an increase in risk appetite as seen in the bounce in equity markets in Asia and Europe so far this morning. While Korean concerns have abated for now, eurozone "peripheral" debt is under pressure again pushing spreads with bunds to, or in some cases close to, euro-era highs. The 10-year benchmark bond of Ireland is now up 6 basis points at 8.72%, while Portugal and Spain are up 7bp to 6.87% and up 11bp to 5.14%, respectively. This has seen gold remain firm in major currencies and remain near nominal highs in euros. Read full article... Read full article...

The TSA's False Tradeoff / Politics / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Robert_Murphy
The national furor over the TSA's new procedures — culminating in yesterday's "Opt Out Day" — has elicited the typical response from the bureaucracy and its apologists. Why, these invasive scans and "enhanced pat-downs" are only for your good, in order to ensure safe flying. You don't want another attack, do you?

Driving the News Agenda: Jones and Keiser "Crash JPMorgan Buy Silver" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Rob_Kirby
How many of you have noticed the change in news? The flavor of the news has markedly “changed” in the past 4 or 5 months – have you noticed it? Who has picked up on the likes of Fox News’ Glen Beck and his ‘about face’ on many key issues. Over the past number of months personalities like Beck have completely reversed their positions on subjects like the existence of World Government and FEMA CAMPS – going from complete denial to admitting they exist and the fact that they are intended for the American people.

Gold Trades Like a Currency Hence Goldania / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: John_Handbury
Gold tends to trade like a currency. This is because all the gold produced in the world mostly does not get used up, so, like a currency, the change in inventory at any time is a small proportion of the total supply. Thus rather than being largely affected by supply and demand fundamentals, currency prices reflect the perceived value of a money based on the underlying fundamentals of the country such as stability, the economy, the central bank, etc . A contrary example is say, corn, which gets mostly used up and the annual crop is a very large proportion of the total corn in storage. Thus corn prices are driven largely by supply and demand.

Gold Sticker Shock and Silver Surge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Price is an interesting element of the marketplace. At one price, a product may be a perceived bargain, yet at another still similar price, the same product would be a perceived rip-off. As you walk through a supermarket, it becomes evident the tricks that certain prices can play on your mind. $1.99 looks far less expensive than $2, even if the difference is only one cent. Ten for $10 deals are more likely to drive more sales volume, even if the normal market price is actually $1 each.

Dollar vs. Emerging Currencies is a Boon for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Any careful observer of the Federal Reserve should be slowly coming to the conclusion that Bernanke is off his game plan. In the past few weeks and months, Bernanke has repeated before Congress that his dual mandate is to provide for slow and gradual recovery, but low inflation and full employment. Recently though, Bernanke is on a new tangent, a semi-mercantilist endeavor to lower the value of the US dollar against emerging economies.

By: Chris_Ciovacco
We own gold, like gold, and plan to buy more gold, but the market is telling us to be patient for a while longer in terms of looking for a good risk-reward entry point for GLD (gold ETF). Numerous short-term indicators are still flashing some “be careful” signals.

How to Get Hedge Funds to Push Silver Price to $500 and Crash JP Morgan / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldSilver
This is the true divide that separates the have from the have yachts and this is truly what is going to catapult us in the global conflict, the insurrection against corporate and banking occupation. It's savers versus speculators. The savers have only one recourse, and it's true on the central bank level, and it's true on the individual level. It's precious metals. That's the only recourse we have! - Max Keiser

Gold and Silver Thanksgiving Thoughts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Anthony_J_Stills
I want to leave you with some thoughts on gold and silver as we head into the long Thanksgiving holiday. The airwaves are filled with opinions, conjecture, commentaries masquerading as fact and just plain old misinformation designed to scare you out of your positions. There’s a lot at stake right now as the central banks around the world feel threatened by the rise in price of both gold and silver. They understand the well guarded secret that gold is the only real money out there and fiat paper is just a poor pretender to the throne. The unbridled printing of fiat paper is the tool used by central banks to separate you from your wealth.

Silver Forecast, What Comes Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Banister
In latter August I penned a forecast for my subscribers to TMTF on Silver, and below is a brief excerpt from August 31st:I believe Silver is about to stage a pretty large advance based loosely on the Elliott Wave pattern I see unfolding after a 9 odd month consolidation. (Obviously, there are also fundamental fiat currency/debt events worldwide that give it the underlying bull chart pattern). Since the average person can't run out and buy an ounce of Gold for $1,240 tomorrow, as the unfolding of the fiat crises continues to enter the public psyche, you will see a strong populace movement into buying silver, silver coins, etc. To wit, many silver stocks are moving up strongly of late, signally an imminent breakout of this precious and industrial metal.

Should You Buy Silver SLV ETF? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Peter_Degraaf
Featured is the daily bar chart for SLV. Price has risen for five days, but volume has not yet supported the rise. This lack of volume could be because more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that JPMorgan (one of the bullion banks that is short a large amount of silver), is a custodian of SLV. As people begin to distrust the integrity (justified or not) of SLV, they could very well make a decision to avoid buying into SLV.

Gold/Platinum Ratio, The Economy And Why You’ll Ask Back Your Gold Card / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Hubert_Moolman
Most people are mainly concerned with what is going on right now and are less concerned with what happened yesterday, last week or last year. The further in the past an event or development, the less are we concerned about (or aware of) it, and the less is our understanding of it. This appears to be our nature, and it causes many to miss important “big picture” developments.

Gold, Weaker Dollar, and US Exports / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Rosanne_Lim
With the Chinese yuan and Brazilian reals off-limits to most retail investors, turning to gold may be the best bet. Even with the gold hitting the $1,400 an ounce mark, it’s still a good idea to allocate around 20% of your portfolio to this precious metal. Consider that over the last decade, gold is up by 17%. Compare this to stocks over the same period and you’ll see the difference. Stocks were up by only 1%.

Gold Standard Time / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
The expression, “gold bug,” has two meanings. In politics, a gold bug is someone who favors the gold standard. The phrase was first used in the election of 1896 to indicate the supporters of William McKinley, who favored the gold standard, as opposed to the supporters of William Jennings Bryan, who favored adding silver to the system to increase the money supply. On July 9, 1896, Bryan gave a famous speech at the Democratic convention in Chicago in which he said: “You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”

The Gold and Silver Trading Play Has Gone To Greed? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past few months it seems the gold and silver play has been getting a little crowed with everyone wanting to own gold. While I am a firm believer that these precious metals are a great hedge/investment long term, I can’t help but notice the price action and volume for both metals which looks to me like they are getting exhausted.
