Silver and Contracting U.S. Money Supply Flash Gold Trend Warning / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
How many nations must experience a traumatic withdrawal from addiction to debt? Repeatedly, now
again with Portugal, we have confirmation that one cannot borrow one’s way to prosperity.
Keynesian economic dogma must be declared a complete failure. What Texas really needs to purge
from its text books is all reference to Keynesian economic dogma, perhaps saving the financial souls
of future generations.

Gold Price Will Explode Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Chris Blasi writes: If 1+1 still equals 2 then gold will explode. It’s really that simple! Once you tune out the white noise of the main stream media, recognize Keynesian economics for the claptrap it is, and come to terms with the painful reality that policymakers and financial elites navigate the ship of state to their benefit, not yours, the basic truth of this premise should resonate with you.

Gold's Fundamental Value / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Michael_S_Rozeff
The estimate of gold's fundamental value reported in this article won't be much different from earlier estimates of mine or others. What's new here is a tad more insight into the assumptions that go into this estimate. Knowing this might alter one's confidence in the estimates, up or down. The perspective herein is definitely fundamental.

By: The_Gold_Report
Sprott Asset Management's Charles Oliver not only makes some bold predictions in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he backs them up. "I expect gold to be at $2,000 roughly two years from today. . .if I'm wrong I'll shave the hair off my head," Oliver says. As an unwavering believer in the yellow metal, Oliver is well positioned as co-manager of several Sprott investment funds, some of which hold bullion. One of those—Sprott's Gold and Precious Minerals Fund—climbed 114% in 2009, and claimed the 2010 Lipper Fund Award for Best Fund Over One Year in the precious metals category. Oliver shares some of the secrets of his success in this one-on-one interview.

Gold Resilient While Equities Weak / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Amidst the carnage, gold is acting well -- like gold should act. Every day, sometimes multiple times each day, investors get blindsided by negative news that clobbers stocks, but not gold, which appears to be under accumulation during every bout of weakness.

What Will Happen to Gold Supply if Demand is Very High? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Investment demand for gold has never been so high and it is likely to rise still further. Normally when a commodity is in high demand supply is accelerated and holders of that commodity often take profits, thereby increasing supply. Economic history tells us the same, “rising prices and high demand should result in rising supply. When it comes to gold all rules have to be re-written. That’s because gold is only part commodity.

Investors Commodities Stock Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Investing 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
Commodities stocks have two primary drivers, commodities prices and the general stock markets. When both are doing well, commodities stocks thrive. But when both are weak, commodities stocks amplify their losses as we’ve seen during the sharp universal correction since late April. The resulting deeply-oversold commodities stocks have created an outstanding buying opportunity today.

By: GoldCore
The US jobs number came in at 431,000, which was worse than the expected 500k, and saw safe haven buying bid the dollar, yen and gold prices higher.

Natural Gas Putting in a Bottom / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Guy_Lerner
I believe natural gas is putting in a bottom, and it has the potential for an extended bullish run.
Looking at figure 1, which is a monthly chart of the cash data for natural gas, we note that natural gas has gotten crushed over the last 2 years. The indicator in the bottom panel is the "next big thing" and this suggests that natural gas has the technical characteristics of an asset about to undergo a secular trend change from down to up.

By: Dian_L_Chu
Deutsche Bank AG recently noted that commodities will continue to “struggle” as the dollar strengthens and China seeks to restrain growth. Looking at the recent performance between the CRB index, S&P 500 and Legg Mason Emerging Market (LGEMX) would certainly seem to support Deutsche’s view. (Chart 1)
