Gold and the Sovereign Debt Crisis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Chapman
This past week the person, who calls himself President again engaged in extortion by threatening to shut down the government, default on bonds and deprive Americans of their Social Security and Medicare. We all know that is not going to happen unless the illegal alien wants to start a revolution. He can cut costs anytime he wants, but he is more interested in terrorizing the old and the infirm, so he can continue his wild spending. That is what his handlers have told him to do and that is what he will do. Social Security is not an entitlement, because we paid for it and it belongs to us. If politicians have stolen the funds, or these politicians cannot replace the borrowed funds, then the government should issue bonds and have the Fed purchase them, just as they have to bail out the financial sector not only on Wall Street, but also all over Europe. In addition, he might contemplate cutting spending.

Investing in Gold and Silver: This Metal Miner Doubled Profits! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Eric_McWhinnie
Copper (NYSE:JJC) decreased the most in four weeks, as poor economic data released on Thursday worried investors. Although the Chinese manufacturing report isn’t due till August 1st, preliminary data showed that Chinese manufacturing slid to a 28-month low. An analyst from UBS in London describes that situation, ” China has been struggling with tight credit for some time. We’ve also got Europe deteriorating and slowing demand in the West, as well as in other emerging markets.”

By: GoldCore
Bailout euphoria has returned to markets with Asian and European stock indices rising on renewed risk appetite.
Gold has recovered from yesterday’s slight sell off (0.6% in USD) and the firm gold price in all currencies suggests that market euphoria is again misplaced. Gold is down only 20 euros per ounce in the last 24 hours. Gold is trading at USD 1,596.10, EUR 1,108.1, GBP 978.50 and CHF 1,310.10 per ounce.

By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
If you're still bearish on long-term silver prices, you'd better reconsider your stance.
Dollar-denominated Chinese silver futures were scheduled to begin trading on the Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange early today (Friday). This development will grant Asian investors direct access to the metal, and will blunt the U.S. dominance in silver-bullion trading.

Gold and Silver Bull Market 'Topped'? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
With the silver price riveted to the gold price, what happens to gold, applies to silver.
Many believe we are at the point where the rising gold market has entered a 'bubble' and is losing momentum just ahead of the 'bear' phase. With record prices of $1,610 and €1,136 seen in the midst of debt crises on both sides of the Atlantic, things surely must get better and gold and silver prices must fall...

Gold and Silver Price Manipulation, COMEX has Everything to Fear / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
I have been writing for some time that I could not get my hands around the silver trade. I had a feeling when the market went up 202 points on Tuesday that gold and silver would sell off into a healthy pullback and they both did. Today I was very surprised to see gold and silver put in very strong showings and was totally confused by this. AS I wrote yesterday I expected them to continue to sell off to about $35.00 in SLV and $141.50 in GLD. They did not act as scripted. What was I missing?

Gold in a Deflationary Economic Period / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ian_R_Campbell
I suggest you read and think about what is said in a recent article: 'How gold performs in deflation' - reading time 4 minutes - thinking time longer. On its face, the article suggests that physical gold benefits in periods of both hyper-inflation and hyper-deflation, and when reaching that conclusion implies (at least as I read the article) that the price of physical gold is likely to rise under either scenario.

Will Gold GLD and Silver SLV ETF's Continue to Correct? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
There’s an old saying. “What goes around comes around.” Well today President Obama held a quick press conference and announced that the “Gang of Six” had presented him a compromise plan that he felt everyone could agree on. The market immediately spiked up on the news and gold and its baby brother silver did exactly what I thought it would do. It sold off. So what goes around comes around – just usually not that fast.
