New Upleg for Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Gold -- and the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) -- has rocketed off of its lows, largely in reaction to the weaker dollar that emerged in the aftermath of the disappointing Jobs data -- and because Mr. Market senses that the Gov't may well have to pump additional substantial liquidity into the "economy" to avert another deflationary downward spiral...which is perceived to be bullish "eventually" for gold.

Gold's Record Monthly Close Is Significant from a Technical Perspective / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold is down slightly this morning but still continuing to knock on the door and consolidating near the psychological $1,000/oz mark. The gold market will probably be relatively quiet until the release of US non- farm payroll data this afternoon. Depending on the figures, which are expected to be quite poor, an aversion to risk should further bolster gold's appeal.

Natural Gas UNG ETF Positive Price-Momentum Divergences, Seasonal Probabilities and a Potential ParaSar Buy Setup / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mark_Brown
Anyone who’s been following and/or trading the Natural Gas market for the past two years is well aware of the frightening moves that this volatile energy commodity is capable of, both up and down. And did it ever fall down, with UNG shedding a mind-shattering 86% of its peak value between July 2008 and early September 2009. Right now, however, UNG does appear to be making a strong recovery attempt, and several pieces of technical and fundamental data may prove useful to those seeking to determine the most probable direction for UNG to move in the next few months.

Deep-Sea Crude Oil Reigns Supreme for Byron King / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: The_Energy_Report
A highly regarded energy and resource sector expert who discusses his field fervently whenever possible and whose writings include the top-ranking Outstanding Investments, Byron King brings his views direct to The Energy Report audience in this exclusive interview. While Byron has not bought into the argument that the recession is behind us, he is absolutely sold on deepwater drilling and other plays that bode well for oil as long as the price stays above $70 a barrel. Meanwhile, he's hunting for new investment alternatives in the natural gas arena, and hoping to see the geothermal industry rebuild what he sees as its broken business model.

Gold Price Manipulation Game Has Changed, The Achilles Heel Exposed / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Rob_Kirby
In a discussion I had earlier this week with Dr. Jim Willie, we discussed how the prices of gold and silver have been arbitrarily managed for years. In this discussion, I contended that, while the prices of gold and silver have been closely managed, the growing “off-take” of physical bullion is inflicting great damage on price managers. We can see manifestations of this reality in that price corrections [sell-offs] are much shallower and shorter lived than they were even last year. Jim asked me if I could provide any “hard data” or minutia showing the amounts of physical metal being taken off the market in recent weeks.
