It's About Gold, Not Inflation or Deflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
Gold's getting ready to have a short-term correction if it didn't start today. Trying to game short-term corrections in a raging bull market is a fool's game and there's no reason to do it. Simply buy on sharp pullbacks and hold on. It's not rocket science for those with a time horizon of more than a few days. One simple 10 year monthly log-scale chart can tell you where the current secular bull market is:

Jim Rogers Bullish on Gold, Silver, Cotton, Coffee, Farmland But Not Stocks / Commodities / Investing 2009
By: LewRockwell
This week’s guru outlook brings you Jim Rogers. Rogers has become infamous in recent years for his prescient calls on the global meltdown and the commodity boom, but long before that Rogers became famous for co-founding the Quantum Fund with George Soros. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund (see here for the Soros Guru outlook) while the S&P 500 returned just 47%. They ran what is considered to be one of the first truly global macro hedge funds.

All That Glitters, SLV, GLD ETF's / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Piazzi
Before discussing SLV or GLD, I would like to remind you that metal ETFs are not metals. They are supposed to be backed by metals. In fact, they are no more than promises and guarantees of some entity who is supposed to have the metals. Make sure you read, and understand related prospectus and other publications as you decide whether metal ETFs are suitable for your trading/investing needs.

Bear Market Low Downside Risk Resources Stocks With Ample Upside Potential / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Although Q1 Publishing's Founder and Chief Investment Strategist Andrew Mickey expects to see the U.S. stock market slip as much as 25% over the next 6 to 12 months, he comes to The Energy Report to share tidbits about several companies in his scopes that present low downside risk with ample upside potential. Generally beyond media noise and the glare of market spotlights, these companies are carving niches for themselves in various segments of the energy industry. For example, Andrew's list includes a junior lithium company uniquely positioned, an up-and-coming miner that "if you like lithium, you'll have to like," and one of the only ways regular investors get into the fastest growing venture capital sector.

Moment of Truth for Crude Oil and USO ETF / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The moment of truth for nearby crude oil now that the latest inventory data shows building supplies. Into the data and in reaction to worse than expected data, prices are under pressure as they revisit critical near-term support at 77.00-76.55, which must contain the weakness to avert additional weakness into the $74.00 area next.

By: Rob_Kirby
“Gold Finger - A New Take On Operation Grand Slam With A Tungsten Twist”
I’ve already reported on irregular physical gold settlements which occurred in London, England back in the first week of October, 2009. Specifically, these settlements involved the intermediation of at least one Central Bank [The Bank of England] to resolve allocated settlements on behalf of J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank – who DID NOT have the gold bullion that they had sold short and were contracted to deliver. At the same time I reported on two other unusual occurrences:

Gold, Do we finally have your attention? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andy_Sutton
The past two weeks have brought two massive paradigm shifts to a Gold market that has been morphing literally on a daily basis for the past few months. During this time, the pundits and purveyors of misinformation and tripe have done their best to ‘student body left’ Gold back into obscurity as an ancient, barbaric relic. They certainly get an ‘A’ for effort. Now that Gold has made its debut above $1100 an ounce, they’ve switched their tactic and are now calling it a bubble. We’ll deal with why this cannot be the case in a bit.

How Will Niagara Falls Fit Through a Garden Hose?
“There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll have a mania in gold. And because the gold and especially silver markets are so tiny, the rush into them will be like trying to push the contents of Hoover Dam through a garden hose. Our positions will go absolutely ballistic.” –Doug
