Inflation News...and Gold Looking Overbought in the Short-term / Commodities / Gold & Silver
Google News is my friend. With a click of a mouse button I am often able to get a quick snapshot of what is going around the world. If I want to find out something about a certain issue, I simply type in a word or two, and read dozens of stories from across the world. Whenever I do this, I don't try to look for certain angles or viewpoints, but I simply want to see what is “factually” going on globally. Interestingly, this strategy often gives me a much better glimpse of economic reality, than if I would listen to financial pundits or even commentary from Bernanke.Read full article...

GOLD THOUGHTS - Are Funds and Traders Pushing Gold to an Unsustainable Level in the Short-term? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
Dear Chairman Bernanke,
I, and all the rest of the Gold Bugs, would like to thank you for your continuing effort to bail out the banks. Your easing of U.S. interest rates has greatly benefited the value of our Gold holdings. At the same time, the purchasing power of paper dollars held by gullible consumers around the world is being decimated.

Gold and Silver Analysis - Precious Points: It's A Hit! / Commodities / Gold & Silver
The path of least resistance continues for the moment to be upward… With financial markets undoubtedly improving, stocks performing reasonably well, and gold and oil at soaring, some of the impetus for a 50 bps cut may have been removed. Though a rate cut should theoretically boost precious metals, the markets seem to already be priced for 25 bps cut and, if this is all they're given, could choose to sell the news… Read full article...

Weekly Gold Silver and Uranium Technical Analysis Report - Gold Bull Unstoppable / Commodities / Gold & Silver
Despite all the short selling, gold seems to be unstoppable. Where and when will all this end? Your guess is as good as mine.
GOLD : LONG TERM
For the past almost three months gold has been on a tear. How long it will last before a significant rest period, or even a reaction, sets in is anyone's guess. This chart (or at least a very similar one) was shown with my commentary of 07 Sept 2007 . We have just breached the first of the long term projections based upon this past year and a half consolidation period. That one was at $780. We are now heading towards the next one at $915 with $1035 beyond that. Projections can be made whenever the action goes through a lateral consolidation period.

Reasons for Investing in Gold - Part 2 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
Too much money looking for a home.Cast you mind back to previous currency declines in currencies other than the $, so bad that the national authorities of those nations believed they needed intervention to hold up or down exchange rates [Deutschmark - Pound - Lira etc]. These happened in the early seventies, eighties, nineties and the noughties we're in now, so this is by no means new to the currency world. For instance, the Bundesbank repeatedly had to back off holding the Deutschmark down, as speculators matched their intervention, in the seventies. Later the Bank of England paid a very heavy price before it just had to give in to the attack on Sterling [thanks to George Soros]. Then, in the Eurozone area, remember the Lira pegs of Europe's Exchange Rate Mechanism? Well it ain't over yet! Lately we're seeing it on the Persian Gulf O.P.E.C. states and now in Hong Kong].

Exploding the Myth of Unbacked Silver Certificates and Phony Silver Storage / Commodities / Gold & Silver
Executive summary
Analysts put their own construction on facts coming out of the class-action suit between Morgan-Stanley and 22,000 of its clients involving costs associated with the storage of precious metals. They jump to the conclusion that metal supposedly backing outstanding silver certificates does not exist and never has. Storing silver on clients' account is a farce. From this they conclude that the net short commercial interest in silver on the COMEX, allegedly naked, must further be increased by adding the amount of unbacked silver certificates and phony storage, which they conservatively estimate at one billion ounces.
