Silver Breaks Out From Price Manipulation, The Gains Will be Breath Taking / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A love affair with silver is so natural. The fundamentals are astoundingly positive and bullish in price prospects. My basic argument has been repeated many times. Industry has countless uses for silver, significant demand. But industry has only miniscule isolated uses for gold, in trivial demand. So silver wins on the Demand side of the equation. Central banks own a huge amount of gold. They frequently sell it, even through their slippery surrogate the Intl Monetary Fund. Central banks own zero silver. So silver wins on the Supply side of the equation.

By: David_Galland
David Galland, Managing Director, Casey Research writes:
Last month gold broke into new record territory – reaching an all-time high of $1,387 on October 14.
A new record in nominal terms, that is. To top the previous high in inflation-adjusted dollars, gold will have to approximately double from there.

Why Investing in Gold Will Save Your Butt / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Daughty
When I got back to the office, the place was abuzz, all stemming from how my boss wanted to "see me" as soon as I got back from wherever the hell I was. I knew what it was about. It was about old man Sanderson and the stupid Sanderson account.
The problem was that I had just seen the Britebart.tv video of the megalomaniacal and totally incompetent Harry Reid, Congressional Representative from Nevada and doofus extraordinaire, saying, "But for me, we'd be in a worldwide depression."

Gold Positive QE2, Sovereign Debt and Chinese Demand Projected to Double in a Decade / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver rose again yesterday with silver reaching a new nominal 30 year high. Both are higher in trading today as markets await concrete data regarding the scale of the second phase of quantitative easing. QE2 may already be priced into the markets but a smaller than expected figure could see money come off the table. A higher than expected figure could see further gains in all markets and further increase the risk of asset bubbles.

The Changing Landscape in Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Midas_Letter
Whereas the apparent robust performance of major indices around the world suggests the world is returning to something approaching normal, what we’re really seeing is a long line of traps being set to snag a fresh round of suckers who fall for the mainstream smokescreen. With another US$1 Trillion on the way from the Fed to further devalue the dollar, and with other nations thereby comforted sufficiently to follow suit, gold and silver prices can do naught but rise.

I.M.F. Gold Sales Completion Will Lower Supplies of Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The I.M.F. announced that 32 tonnes of gold was sold by them in September. This included the 10 tonnes to Bangladesh. This leaves around 71 tonnes left to go and we have passed October now. If they sold a similar amount in October then we are down to just below 40 tonnes remaining for sale by the I.M.F. If they continue this pace of selling they will only be left with less than 10 tonnes to sell in December and will complete their sales before the end of this year.

By: Anthony_David

Inflated Gold or Inflation? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jim_Farrish
The price of gold has moved back to $1360 gaining nearly $40 the last two trading days. The intraday high was $1388 just two weeks ago. The pullback to $1320 invited those who think gold prices are inflated to pontificate about the metal correcting. There have been some analysts who believe gold will drop to $1000 before year end. Of course on the other side there are those who see gold at $2000 before year end. Since testing support near the $1150 level in July, gold moved up more than 20% before this recent pullback, which has been the rationale for gold prices being inflated.

David Morgan Explains Why Silver Has Broken Out and Catching Up and Where It Goes Next / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Morgan
Daily Bell: David, welcome back and thank you for sitting down with us today. Remind us about the difference between silver and gold both as precious metals and money metals.
David Morgan: "The major monetary metal in history is silver, not gold." – Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman in an interview with James Blanchard at the New Orleans Investment Conference. November 7, 1993. The above quote is fact of monetary history but few in the West study or know silver's history. Yes, gold is money but silver has been used as money more often, in more places, by more people than gold ever has.

Silver Breakout to New Highs or Trading Range? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
We saw a strong rally by silver on Friday that took it to a new closing high, although it did not get above earlier intraday highs. As we can see on our 6-month chart silver did just manage to stay above its uptrend line on the recent reaction, which gives it a chance short-term to break out to new highs, although given the outlook for gold it looks more likely that it will back and fill for a while between the lows of about a week ago and its recent new highs. The development of such a trading range would involve failure of the uptrend shown, which should not lead to the price dropping below the low of about a week ago, although there would be some chance of the price later dropping back towards the rising 50-day moving average.
