Gold To Consolidate Above Support at $985/oz / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

US stocks rallied yesterday and the gold price soon recovered after initial falls, and resolutely stayed around the $990/oz level. The erratic nature of the dollar, at the moment, means that gold may still have its direction dictated by dollar volatility and traders may exploit this and push the limits of gold support in the short term, looking for favourable entry points.

Secular Bear Market Warning, Preserve Your Wealth with Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Nick_Barisheff

“I’m not so much interested in the return on my money as I am the return of my capital." --Will Rogers

In this extraordinary environment, preserving your personal wealth becomes priority one. Before you make another major financial decision, it is imperative to understand the big picture by recognizing and understanding three critical issues. First, we are in a secular bear market for financial assets (stocks and bonds). Second, the consequences of the global bailouts will likely be highly inflationary. Third, we are at a pivotal point in the long-term investment cycle. Let’s examine each of these three keys in more detail.

By: Mark_B_Rasmussen

Silver is less than 1/4 of its 1980 cost (nominal prices, not inflation adjusted).  Is there anything else on the planet you can think of that is currently 1/4 of its 1980 price?  Oh, and do they have the following   attributes?

Silver is an industrial metal and a monetary metal.  5,000 years of sound history as a measure of value and store of wealth, portable, fungible, divisible and unique.

Gold Falls as Markets Ignore Iranian Geopolitical Threat / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GoldCore

A stronger dollar and a bout of profit taking saw gold slip back to the low $980s per ounce in early morning trading. It is currently trading at $989/oz and if it fails to pull itself above $990/oz, it may correct back further to $970/oz before support is found. Increasing tensions with Iran have not created a geopolitical safe haven bid but these tensions merit watching.

Gold Dip Below $1,000 and NO Retirement / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Howard_Katz

All the scaredy-cats are trembling in their shoes this week as gold dipped below the $1,000 level.  Foolish people.  Can’t they see that the U.S. dollar is in free fall?  We told subscribers this on August 3, when the U.S. dollar index broke 78.20, thus completing a double top.  That double top is now working out its implications, and the dollar bulls are taking it on the chin.

Let’s take a closer look on charts (courtesy of http://stockcharts.com) and see what may be waiting just around the corner.

Prepare for Panic Buying in the World's Most Despised Asset / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: GrowthStockWire

Jeff Clark writes: Evolution takes a long time.

Scientists figure it took about 5 million years for Australopithecus to lift his shoulders, raise his head, and lose enough back hair to evolve into the modern man. Who knows what is in store for our species over the next 5 million years? The only certain thing is none of us will be around to see it.

Gold Stocks Caution Warranted / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo

Gold was down -16.70 (-1.66%) to close at $990.90 on the continuous contract. The short term chart below shows gold’s recent breakout and pullback, as it sits perched on top of horizontal support.

As of now this appears to be a short term pull-back, but there is some evidence that something more could be underway. Gold needs to hold support here.

Gold Fails to Break to New Highs, What's It Waiting For? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Merv_Burak

The latest thrust didn’t quite make it into new all time high territory.  What is it waiting for?  Gaddafi talked, Ahmadinejad smiled, Chavez smelled, Obama whined and throughout it all Medvedev must have been smirking.  What more is there to get gold screaming into new highs?

Gold to Usher in Brave New World / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: David_Vaughn

“You Lie!” - Looks like US politics are starting to heat up a bit. 

The nation deserves a little excitement.  Clinton was a lot of fun but George just seemed to put us all to sleep.  The way both parties are going at it today you’d think this was Custer’s Last Stand.  Maybe a better analogy is the Rubicon.
