Where Will Gold Bottom in this Corrective Cycle? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Banister
Around two months ago I advised my Partners to look for Gold to drop to the 1040-1070 area in US dollars. This followed my projection in early August of a Gold rally from 900 to 1250 before the next top, and I was close as we hit $1,225 and rolled over. This correction so far in Gold is normal in a bull market, and is intended to knock everyone off the back of the bull. The bull likes to make sure as few people as possible are along for the ride.

The Fiat Money Carry Trade to Buy Gold and Agriculture / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Eduardo_Moreno
Last year it did not matter what you bought, you made money. Today, many are shocked by the drop in stocks, silver and gold. One simple explanation for the drop in silver and gold could be the strength of the dollar. This alone will affect the value of commodities that are priced in dollars. But then, why are agricultural commodities like wheat or soybeans going up? Shouldn´t they also be going down? They are also commodities priced in dollars.

Emerging Markets' Growth and the Resources and Energy Boom / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Specializing in emerging markets, natural resources and global infrastructure, U.S. Global Investors is positioned so perfectly for the times that CEO Frank Holmes might have written its business plan and tag line—"Resourceful Investing for a Developing World"—this morning. All of these arenas of expertise at U.S. Global Investors play powerful but somewhat unpredictable roles in the evolving 21st century worldwide economy. Led by China and India, the emerging markets have placed unprecedented (and growing) demand on natural resources.

Gold and the China Commodities Game Changing Action / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
Specializing in emerging markets, natural resources and global infrastructure, U.S. Global Investors is positioned so perfectly for the times that CEO Frank Holmes might have written its business plan and tag line—"Resourceful Investing for a Developing World"—this morning. All of these areas of expertise at U.S. Global Investors play powerful but somewhat unpredictable roles in the evolving 21st century worldwide economy. Led by China and India, the emerging markets have placed unprecedented (and growing) demand on natural resources. From gas and oil to copper and zinc, it takes vast quantities of those natural resources to build infrastructure to accommodate explosive growth in population, upward mobility, urbanization and industrialization. So as the other Holmes once said, "The game is afoot." Meanwhile, the developed world can hardly sit by and watch the action from afar. As Frank suggests in this exclusive Gold Report interview, the key to staying in the game—even as the rules are changing—may lie in adapting nimbly and rationally.

Silver's Most Important Price Point / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bill_Downey
From a seasonal standpoint a case can be made that Gold and Silver usually make a price high this time of the year. Of course with the global situation many feel that the metals will continue higher and the risk is missing the boat ride by jumping out too soon. There is certainly a lot of data that can be construed as inflationary. The question when using fundamentals is always timing. The fundamentals usually do play out at some point. The paradox is of course that if the markets behaved with the fundamentals from a timing perspective then economists would be traders.

Breakdown Of The Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A great disconnect exists in the gold market between the exchange futures contract price (the paper price) and the gold bullion paid price for transactions (the physical price). The differential in price is growing wider, enough to place tremendous pressure on the gold market itself. Look not to the gold premium paid for purchases, but to high volume purchases in the tens of million$. In mid-December, almost every demand for gold contract delivery was matched by a cash delivery, complete with 25% bonus premium offered. The officials even produced a new ledger item called 'Cash For Delivery' that was necessary to balance their badgered books. It prompted little attention. Some call it a basic bribe. Others call it a technical default.

Commodity Ratios, The Investing Truth They Reveal / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
As gold prices near new highs, some are calling gold's skyrocket success a bubble. However, informed investors are seeing it differently; gold is not much more expensive than its 1980 levels, even despite runaway growth in the money supply over the past 30 years.
