Don't Let Analysts Skew Your Metals Portfolios / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Every time an investment outperforms much of the market, the entirety of the financial services community reaches in to offer their two cents. We saw this in real estate, the bull run in commodities throughout the early 2000s, and in many high performing investment sectors before these booms.

Cyclical Stocks Bull Market vs. Secular Gold Bull / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Gary_Savage
Since March of 2001, the stock market has been and continues to be in a secular bear market. Beginning in March 2009, stocks have been in a cyclical bull market. This means our current stock market is in a relatively short term bull rally within a much longer term secular bear market decline.
The current rally will serve to separate the second phase of the secular bear from the third and potentially most damaging leg down in the ongoing bear market.

Gold Price Trend in U.S. Dollars and Other Currencies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We've started our previous essay, by describing several interesting facts about the U.S. Dollar. We wrote the following:
We've recently read something (http://www.lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis179.html) that can elucidate the enormous, almost incomprehensible, size of the U.S. government debt. The numbers are so huge that it is difficult for most people to get a handle them.

Gold Looking Good, Silver Even Better / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
The gold rally that began last fall and drove gold through the $1,200 resistance level in late November doesn't seem to be panning out the way the rallies of 2005 and 2007 did. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, Gold Newsletter editor and publisher Brien Lundin admits he's a bit worried about this run's breakout. He hasn't lost hope, he says, but "we really need to clear $1,250 over the next six to eight weeks to validate the continuance of this as another one of these major gold rallies" that would carry gold up to the $1,350 to $1,500 range that he had anticipated. However that turns out, he expects gold to remain strong and gold stocks, particularly juniors, to outperform the market in general. Brien is stoked on silver, too, and in fact in relative terms expects it to rise further and faster than gold.

Colombia, A New Gold Rush? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Casey_Research
by Andrey Dashkov, Casey’s International Speculator - For many investors, Colombia remains a grey spot on their mental maps of South America. La Violencia, the 50-year dark age in its recent past, came to an end with the close of the 20th century. But the memories are fresh, and the impact on the local economy and international perceptions of the country lingers. This reputation still prevents most foreigners from investigating Colombia’s potential – and that spells opportunity.

Gold Very Bullish Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
GOLD DEALT in the professional wholesale market rose further on Wednesday morning in London, extending what one dealer calls Tuesday's "aggressive rally" as stock markets and commodity prices held flat.
The Dollar slipped vs. the Euro after the Greek government agreed a fresh round of "austerity" measures and the private-sector ADP report said US payrolls fell by 20,000 last month, rather than the 13,000 loss analysts forecast.

Gold Going Higher, Even George Soros Agrees With Marc Faber / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: LewRockwell
Is gold in a cyclical bull market that could last for years to come or is it another asset bubble created by loose monetary conditions about to crash? The debate has been raging for some time and shows no signs of abating.
But, the strange thing about this debate is that some of the perceived opponents may actually be more in agreement than they would let us believe.

Fiat Currency Regimes Cranking Up the Printing Presses, Let them Eat Paper / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" or "Let them eat cake" has become a phrase used to denote the obliviousness and selfishness of the ruling establishment. Well, with a slight twist it's apropos in the case of paper debt-backed paper currency regimes under stress. Cranking up the debt presses to ease the nominal pain of asset price declines destroys the savings of those who are conservative with their money. Such a monetary system, when in its terminal phases, forces citizens of the world into a dangerous casino to maintain the purchasing power of their savings.

Junior Gold Miners Playing the Exploration End Game / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
Gold has been about the best investment around for the past decade," says Eric Coffin, despite having been lukewarm towards the precious metal in the early '90s. Co-editor along with his brother David of the HRA (Hard Rock Analyst) publications, Eric explains why they're sticking with the exploration stories that work and how they prefer mining executives who will "swing for the fence for themselves rather than just option everything" in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report.
