Gold and Silver Firm Ahead of EU Summit on Debt Crisis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver are higher this morning ahead of a crucial EU summit on the deepening euro zone debt crisis today. The euro firmed slightly in overnight trade but has since given up those gains and is trading at USD 1.322, and €1,047/oz. Given that the crisis shows no signs of abating any time soon, with concerns shifting from Ireland and Greece to Belgium, Portugal and Spain, gold will likely continue to receive safe haven demand for the foreseeable future.

By: The_Gold_Report
If you're looking for an upward-trending outlook on gold from AlphaNorth Asset Management President and CEO Steve Palmer, it's not coming anytime soon. "If you just look at the supply/demand factors outside all the gold investment demand, it's not a pretty picture," he says. But he's still making money on junior gold equities. The AlphaNorth Partners Fund, about 10% of which is comprised of gold small caps, has averaged returns of 28.4% since it started in 2007. In this Gold Report exclusive, Steve explains his position on gold and shares some of his favorite gold juniors in the Yukon.

A BIG GOLD interview with John Hathaway, Tocqueville Gold Fund
When John Hathaway spoke at the Casey's Gold and Resource Summit in October, many of the audience came away feeling like they were listening to Doug Casey, with his contrarian views, bold statements, and laying much of the blame for our current problems at the feet of government. Read what John, a seasoned investment pro and manager of the famously successful $1.4 billion Tocqueville Gold Fund, has to say about gold, precious metals stocks, and the future of the U.S. dollar.

Gold and Silver Slip Further as Euro Falls on Debt Warning / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD slipped to a two-day low in London on Wednesday morning, dropping 1.5% from yesterday’s Dollar high at $1408 per ounce as Asian stock markets closed up to 2% lower and European stocks lost 0.7% on average.
The fall in gold prices – and a rise in the Dollar’s forex value – came despite the US Federal Reserve last night vowing to continue its $75 billion per month quantitative easing and keep interest rates at “exceptionally low levels…for an extended period” even in the face of strong retail-sales and factory-gate inflation data.

The One Reason You Have to Own Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Analysts and pundits provide various reasons for the bull market in Gold. This includes emerging market demand, low interest rates, money printing, central bank accumulation, central bank policies and falling gold production. These are all good reason but there is one reason which stands apart and will drive precious metals to amazing heights. It is the impending sovereign debt default of the west, led by the great USA.

By: Casey_Research
Louis James, Senior Editor, Casey’s International Speculator writes: In the midst of any long-term trend, like the secular bull market for metals we’re in now, there will be trends within the trends. You could think of them as being like eddies, whorls, and side-channels in a great torrent. We see one such developing that could benefit junior gold stock investors in the near- to mid-term.

Gold’s Reaction To Central Banks Rising Rates Urges Caution / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Over the past few weeks I have been warning about a decline is bonds and a rise in interest rates. Bernanke has decided to leave rates unchanged and remains committed to the plan to buy $600 billion dollars of long term debt. Congress and President Obama are working together to extend the Bush tax cuts for two years at a cost of $858 billion. This is on top of the 2009 trillion dollar stimulus and Bush’s Tarp plan. U.S. debt is under pressure and we may be closer to losing our AAA credit rating according to Moody’s. Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Monster Move in the Making / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ronald_Rosen
We don’t often see a chart that promises us a monster move. When we finally discover one it usually comes with a number of ifs. This quarterly logarithmic silver chart, although promising us a monster move, is no exception to the rule of ifs. The ifs are clearly outlined. Will the price of silver close over the mid trend line? If the price of silver does close over the mid trend line will it have a 5 wave move as did Major Wave One? Read full article...

Gold Makes Record Run / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: OilPrice_Com
INCIDENT: On 7 December, gold hit an all-time high above US$1,425 per ounce (London morning fix), after having risen from under $300 per ounce at the beginning of the millennium and from just over $700 per ounce only a little over two years ago (all figures in current dollars).
SIGNIFICANCE: While the recent spike in the price of gold has already been somewhat redressed, new drivers in the market suggest increasing demand for the precious metal.

Gold Prices and Panic / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Douglas_French
With gold selling for around $1,400 per ounce, it seems like everyone has jumped on the yellow-metal bandwagon. Resource-investment guru Rick Rule said about gold investing recently, "we're no longer lonely in the gold trade. You couldn't describe this as a contrarian activity, and you couldn't describe this as a low-risk activity."

Gold and Silver Rise on Higher Chinese Inflation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
WHOLESALE PHYSICAL GOLD hit a 3-session Dollar high in London on Monday morning, rising together with equity and commodity prices on what one trader called “relief” that Beijing did not hike Chinese interest rates as expected at the weekend.
The Euro also rose to its best level since Thursday vs. the Dollar, capping the gold price in Euros at Friday's finish beneath €33,750 per kilo – its second-highest ever weekly finish.

Gold Still a Potential Head and Shoulders Pattern Top? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
Still a potential head and shoulder pattern or not? See the short term analysis below. With all that’s happening in the world one would expect gold to go through the roof. It may still do so, in fact I believe it will, but the question is will it do so NOW or sometime in the future?

Why Does Gold Fall When the Dollar Rises? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
We are all used to reading that gold rose because the dollar fell or that gold fell, because the dollar rose. The picture conjured up is one of traders racing in to actually buy or sell gold as they watch the exchange rate move. When U.S. Treasury yields rose this week, the dollar strengthened slightly and the gold price dropped. When we watched this happen it seem to happen immediately and precisely and we were led to believe that much more was happening than met the eye. After all if gold moves in the opposite direction to the U.S. dollar, this implies that it is moving not just with but almost riveted to the euro. What's the story behind this?

High Long Bond Yields Are Good News for Gold Holders / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Daughty
The Financial Times brought up the interesting point that because bond prices are so insanely high (making bond yields so preposterously low), a one-percent change in yields would negatively impact the prices of bonds much more than a one-percent change if bond yields were higher, which I assume means in the normal 3-6% range.

Gold Mania Still Ahead, TSX-V Chart Speaks Volumes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Casey_Research
by Andrey Dashkov, Casey’s International Speculator :
With the gold price hitting nominal highs last month, there is a lot of “mania” and “bubble” ranting going on in the gold community. Should we start selling?
A bull market typically progresses through 3 phases: the Stealth Phase, in which early adopters start buying; the Wall of Worry Phase (or Awareness Phase), when institutions begin buying and every significant fluctuation makes investors worry that the bull market is over; and the Mania Phase when the general public piles on, driving prices beyond reason or sustainability.

Gold Current Decline is a Correction, Opportunity to Add to Gold and Silver Investments / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We picked up the Asian addition of The Wall Street Journal this week and on the back page was an article titled “China reveals Huge Appetite for Gold.” The article states: Gold’s record rally has been attributed to everything from worries about inflation, the dollar and the emergence of exchange-traded funds. One big factor many may have missed: huge buying from China.
We haven't missed it. We have been writing about the rising Chinese demand for gold in many previous updates.

Something’s Wrong in the Silver Pit, and It’s Much Bigger than J.P. Morgan / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Rob_Kirby
When researching the precious metals, often times things are seldom as they appear on the surface. GATA Secretary and Treasurer – Chris Powell – has said that the true picture of a nations’ gold holdings are, “more closely guarded than their nuclear secrets”.
This has been more-or-less proven true based on the Federal Reserve’s reaction to GATA’s 2009 FOIA request for information concerning GOLD SWAPS. The Fed is ON RECORD admitting they’ve done gold swaps – which, by definition, necessarily utilize sovereign American gold stocks.
