Is Gold really a safe haven in times of crisis? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
The price of gold varies inversely with certainty. The more uncertain the environment, the higher the price of gold because people will scramble for gold as a hedge against uncertainty. However, certain events for the past two weeks have baffled many of us. A couple of weeks ago, when Switzerland pegged its CHR (Swiss Franc) at 1.20 to the Euro, it immediately devalued its currency by about 8%. Since then, the Swiss Franc often viewed as the safe haven among other currencies, has lost its luster.

By: Ben_Traynor
U.S. DOLLAR gold prices fell again on Friday, falling to a seven-week low below $1700 as world stock markets continued to slump – as did industrial commodities – while the zero-yielding Dollar and Yen currencies continued to rally.
Ministers of the G20 group began their weekend meeting to address the Euro crisis. This Sunday marks the 80th anniversary of Great Britain being forced to formally abandon the Gold Standard in 1931.

Diversify Out of Gold, Silver Developing a Serious Problem / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Captain of the ship spoke sternly to the Chief Steward, "Red chairs on the port side, and blue ones on starboard." Such started a typical, icy cold morning on the Titanic. We imagine that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve likewise spoke sternly this week to the committee, "We will buy some blue ones and sell some red ones."

Is This How the Gold Bull Market Ends? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
Remember Lehmans? Even the smart people get whacked in a financial crash...
PEOPLE THINK the gold price always goes up in a crisis, right until they find out it doesn't. And the reason that this now feels so much like the Lehmans collapse of three years ago is that, looking at the numbers alone, you'd think it was autumn 2008.

Gold Wave 4 Correction Continues / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: David_Banister
I got a bit of hate e-mail over the last few weeks from the Gold Bugs who thought I didn’t know what I was talking about when I forecasted a multi-month consolidation and correction in Gold was imminent. I’ve written ad nauseum about crowd behavioral patterns as they related to both stock markets and precious metals. It should not come as a surprise that Gold is continuing to drop after a 34 Fibonacci month rally from $681 to $1910 per ounce. That rally came in five clear Elliott Waves and ended with a parabolic race to the top. I consistently warned my subscribers and readers of my articles about not being caught holding the bag and to take defensive measures.

What a Major Banking Crisis Would Do To the Gold Price? Part II / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
In the first part of this series of articles we pointed out the developing banking crisis and why we felt that was happening. When and how gold will have a central bank-approved role depends on the political agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. Commercial banks are already harnessing their gold to lower the cost and availability of international loans! Since the first part of this essay, there have been dramatic banking developments. Each of these has brought gold close to the day when it will have an active role in the global monetary system.

Indian Rupee vs. Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Investors shouldn’t forget one of the best sources of demand for silver and gold—India. Gold was always a historically important commodity in India, where it’s seen as a store of wealth. Silver, on the other hand, rose mostly as a necessary “poor man’s” entry into precious metals, which have risen far faster than wages in most of the emerging market economies.

Plenty of reasons to be cautious were flagged up in today's "Bubble or Not?" debate...
LOTS MORE to share from the second and last day of this year's LBMA Annual Conference here in Montreal. But the red-eye for London won't wait, not with Air Canada cabin staff starting a strike at midnight.

Gold GDX Has Given Us a Nice Secondary Buy Point / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
There has been a growing numbers of investing experts have been declaring that gold is a bubble: an insanely overvalued asset whose price is bound to burst.
I believe that there is no basis for that opinion. Understanding why I feel this way can help point an investor toward clearer thinking about the frenzied precious metal markets.

Gold and Silver Miners Beginning To Outperform Bullion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
There has been short term profit taking in gold over the past few weeks as investors return to an oversold equity market. Make no mistake such a development is temporary and healthy as GST believes gold prices will make it back to the $1900+ area. It is important that our comments be clearly understood. As the Gold ETF(GLD) hit our overbought targets we moved laterally into our mining selections, which were just on the cusp of upside breakouts after several months of consolidation.

By: Frank_Holmes
A few weeks ago we held our Case for Investing in Gold webcast with the World Gold Council’s (WGC) Jason Toussaint, who gave some remarkable insight into gold demand in the East. In these countries, gold is not only celebrated, acquired, worn or displayed during holidays or special occasions; it is seen as an everyday symbol of wealth.

The last decade has seen tectonic shifts in the global gold market... / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
TEN YEARS into the current bull market in gold, enquiring minds are gathered here in Montreal (along with a good number of traders, too) to ask how did we get here? What's driving the price higher? And how much further might there still be?
"History [is] a guide to the future," said Pierre Lassonde, chairman of the $5 billion Franco-Nevada Gold Corporation to the London Bullion Market Association's annual conference, here at Le Sheraton Hotel this morning.
