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

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.

Gold and Silver 2009 Top Already Or Just a Local Top? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This week we have seen gold and silver move lower, just like I mentioned a week ago. Gold closed the week below $1000, and silver topped exactly in tune with the cycles that I mentioned in the previous essay. Where do we go from here and how fast? 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.

Inflation Is Mortally Wounded And Rapidly Fading, Dump Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ronald_Rosen
It is my opinion that you should ignore all fundamental stories and statistics about runaway prices and hyperinflation at least for the next 8 to 12 months. Gold, silver, and their shares are in the process of being sliced, diced, baked, broiled, and slaughtered. A rare, very rare, opportunity to acquire gold, silver, and their shares at lower than bargain prices will arrive when the [C] leg down that I have been describing and writing about bottoms. This report presents quarterly logarithmic charts of gold, silver, the HUI, and the U. S. Dollar Index. If you are a trader and are familiar with and can handle the short selling process and its dangers you may reap a small fortune over the time span that the [C] leg process (down) requires to complete its work. Its work involves destroying overly enthusiastic precious metals bulls.

Lithium Leading the Charge in Automotive and Electronics Batteries / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: The_Gold_Report
One of these days, pent-up demand for new cars and growing concern about the carbon footprint associated with driving vehicles powered by traditional internal combustion engines will fuel tremendous demand for lithium, a development sure to spark greater investor interest, as well. A staple in batteries for hybrids and all-electric vehicles on the road and on the drawing boards, lithium is becoming a darling among hot commodities. As one of the few of his ilk on the planet, Jon Hykawy is also in considerable demand these days. The Gold Report caught up with Jon in Buenos Aires, where he—as Byron Capital Markets' recently appointed lithium analyst—is checking out facilities in Argentina, the world's second-largest (behind Chile) lithium-producing country, to talk about his favorite subject.
