Premiums on British Gold Sovereigns and Eagle Demand Show Lack of "Irrational Exuberance" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold has fallen marginally in all major currencies today. Market participants are winding down before the holiday break and further profit taking and year end book squaring is seeing volume fall and gold remain in a tight range. Gold will likely get direction from the durable goods orders, consumer sentiment and new home sales data later today.

How to Spot the Top of the Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: DailyWealth
Chris Weber writes: I recently read an article about the famous Aden sisters in BusinessWeek. Something Mary Anne Aden said in it really struck a chord with me.
In the midst of showing the generally fantastic track record of the Adens, they talk about their "biggest goof": how they stayed bullish on gold in the early 1980s. "We were new to the game," said Mary Anne. "We were feeling enormous pressure from our subscribers to stay bullish."

By: Bob_Clark

Gold Rises as UK Finances Deteriorate and IMF Gold Sales End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold Rises as UK Finances Deteriorate and IMF Gold Sales End
Gold and silver edged moderately higher again yesterday in most currencies. Profit taking and book squaring prior to year end have led to lacklustre range bound price action. News that the IMF gold sales to central banks has been completed, saw gold prices rise slightly. Despite the gold sales being off market - directly from the IMF to creditor nation central banks diversifying monetary reserves - the potential overhang of IMF gold supply and perceived risk was one of the few bearish factors in the gold market.
Gold is currently trading at $1,389.32/oz, €1,057.08/oz and £898.31/oz.

Silver Outperforms Gold - Profit! Silver Underperform Gold - Profit Again! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Stall
In our earlier essay, we saw how the silver-gold pair is ideal to bet on for mean reversion. We also saw how to make use of the mean reverting properties of any ratio. Continuing on that topic, we will investigate whether mean reversion holds true for the gold-silver ratio in particular. We will examine variables one should watch over when looking at regime changes (points where the mean is set to new values). We will also explore a simplistic trading strategy on the ratio based on some core parameters that determine entry and exit points.

Silver and Gold Short-term Uncertainty, Could Follows Stocks Lower / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The past week has failed to provide clear signals in most markets worldwide. Perhaps the uncertainty of the financial stability of several European countries further compounded by normal holiday and year-end influences have thus far made December a difficult month to read.

Fed Shortsighted QE Policy Fuels the Continuing Gold Price Rise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“Washington doesn't agree on much these days, with one glaring exception: that the U.S. is facing a long-term fiscal crisis. The federal government's debt is now $13.8 trillion and is projected to hit $20 trillion by the end of the coming decade-when it will be the highest level as a share of the economy that the U.S. has seen in 50 years. In September the International Monetary Fund warned that the U.S. is moving dangerously close to a point at which spooked markets will send interest rates on new borrowing to devastatingly high levels. As it is, the government is on course to spend $1 trillion per year on interest costs alone-about a quarter of all federal spending. ‘We are accumulating debt burdens that will rival a third-world nation within 10 years,’ says David Walker, former chairman of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. ‘Once you end up losing the confidence of the markets, things happen very suddenly-and very dramatically. We've seen that in Greece, we've seen it in Ireland, and we must not see it happen in the United States.’" - Michael Crowley, The New York Times

Why Gold is About To Power Higher to Complete a Big Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Banister
The gold bull has been moving in very reliable Elliott Wave and Fibonacci patterns for many years now, but once in awhile the waters get a little murky for sure. Recently we have seen a fair amount of volatility near year end as position squaring and year end machinations take hold. With that said, it does appear that Gold should be poised to power higher near term, and I’m looking for a completion to a 5 wave rally that began from about $1,040 per ounce in February of this year.Read full article...

Canadian Central Bank Votes for Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

"...Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney tried to calm everyone's nerves by declaring that gold 'has no role to play in the international monetary system.'" - Globe and Mail, November 12, 2010
Carney did not calm the nerves of Hans Merkelbach, investor, advisor, investor advocate, and watch dog of money manipulators, who wrote to the central banker from his office on Bowen Island, British Columbia. After quoting the above, Merkelbach rebuked Carney:

Gold and Silver Trend Line Targets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
Right now commodities are where the action is in the financial markets. And the precious metals are where the action is in the commodities market. And silver is where the action is (for the time being) in the precious metals markets.
Silver can be described as gold’s little brother. It lags along behind gold, underperforming for a long time. Then, all of a sudden, it comes to life, makes up all of its underperformance and goes on to exceed gold to the upside.

3 Things to Watch As Silver Season Ends / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Silver season is coming quickly to a close after one of the best five month rallies in silver history. From mid-August to early December, silver managed to rise more than 66% from top to bottom, a sign of silver's strength against what is normally a positive, but not nearly as pronounced, rise in silver prices. In moving forward, there are three main events on which silver investors need to focus.

Gold Is In Hot Water / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Life has a funny way of reminding a person that he is not really in control of what is going on around him. While he may be proficient in a few specific areas, his overall knowledge is limited. Last night my hot water heater decided to go on vacation and I thought I'd try to be a real man and fix it. I have a general knowledge of how a hot water heater works, but it dawned on me that knowing how it works and fixing it are two totally separate things.

Gold Price Supported in 2011 by Concerns About Currencies and Government Bonds / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold's recent correction continued yesterday but it has risen today as the dollar has fallen. Gold is up in most currencies this morning except in euro terms as the euro has seen a relief rally on the outcome of the EU agreement to create a post-1913 crisis tool. Fundamental disagreements remain though and the agreement may not be enough to stop the debt crisis from deepening with many analysts pinpointing the first quarter of 2011 as a high risk period.

Silver Long-Term Bull Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Investmentscore.com
Unfortunately, due to millions of years of evolution, human beings make absolutely terrible investors. It appears that most investors seem to have a good memory for very long term trends and very short term trends but for some reason they seem to forget about the intermediate term trends. As a result of this they lose money!

Dollar Bottom and Higher Interest Rates are Negative for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
While this is not the last thought we will have this year, it is the last thoughts on Gold we will send to you in 2010. With a new year in about to about two weeks, perhaps it is time to clear our heads. We will soon be given a fresh calendar on which to record the unfolding of events. Out heads should be also ready to receive that newness for yesterday will not be repeated.
