The Next Financial Crisis and Gold Savehaven / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Christopher_Laird
With the Asian stock markets stalling, and the US markets insisting on rallying a suspicious 25 points a day with nary a correction in over a year, something is definitely wrong out there. What gives? I cannot believe the US economic prospects are that good right now.
But then again, with the EU markets and the EU itself looking like it’s about to disintegrate, with a new bailout story on Greece that never pans out, and what a failure to bail out Greece will do to the Euro – a Euro crisis alone can tank all markets and cause massive social unrest in the EU with nations starting to bolt as they find staying with the huge budget cuts are politically impossible.

Digital Gold Currency (DGC), Long Wave Innovation, Ft. Knox Gold, And the Dawn of The Great Republic / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Knox_Barker
Genuine optimism about the future in the midst of the unfolding global financial crisis is a tall order. An abrupt reversal of fortunes for international free market capitalism has stunned advocates of the wisdom of markets to reward success and punish failure. The unprecedented growth of crony state capitalism in response to the global crisis is troubling for advocates of free markets and liberty world over. On the other hand, the advent of digital gold currency (DGC), the secure high technology gold money available over the Internet portends a bright future.

When Will Gold Make its Next Big Move? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In recent commentaries, we’ve focused on the macro factors that will drive acceleration in the precious metals sector. Namely, the gradual exodus from both government and corporate bonds as authorities are forced to monetize debts in an effort to avoid rising interest rates, which would hasten default and bankruptcy. This, and not bank lending or consumer demand, is the cause of severe inflation.

Manipulated Rigged Crude Oil Prices And The Big Bounce / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Andrew_McKillop
World oil trading mainly concerns "paper oil" contracts traded at a rate vastly higher than actual physical oil production, supply and demand. Paper oil contracts on crude and products cover volumes and quantities at least 60 to 80 times more than actual physical supply and demand. In the case of the USA, where the oil trading system started, the difference is even bigger - usually at least 100 times. The financial players who operate the market, ranging from private investment banks and brokers through commercial banks, hedge funds and high net worth individuals set the scene for price movements, and generate the price spikes and troughs the press and government like to blame on the oil industry, environmentalists and government, or on OPEC.

Silver The Most Bullish Currency / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold appears extremely bullish in most of the world’s currency. Probably more than it has ever been in the last 30 years. However, there is one currency in which gold is looking really bearish.
That currency is none other than the world’s other true currency called silver. The outlook for silver as a currency is as bright as it has ever been; in fact, in my opinion, there is no currency that will match silver over the next couple of years

The Safest, High-Income Way to Buy Natural Gas / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: DailyWealth
Tom Dyson writes: You probably already know there's a phenomenal investment opportunity in natural gas right now. But here's the background...
Natural gas is an extremely useful fuel. In 500 BC, the Chinese used natural gas to turn seawater into drinking water. In Victorian England, they used it to power streetlights. When I traveled around Asia back in August 2008, I found them using natural gas to fuel taxis. And in Canada, they run their busses on natural gas.
