Temporary Gold Price Spikes Over Next 2 Years / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
With generous enough cash flows to fund expansion and fuel organic growth without going to the market for capital expenditures, the companies that Mike Starogiannis follows should be in a position to drive stock valuations up. According to Mike, Wolverton Securities' Mining Research Analyst, as long as they enhance their production profiles, they are in good shape—unless the price of gold drops considerably. But in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he tells us that his sights are set on gold averaging in the neighborhood of $900 to $1,000 per ounce over the next year or two, and any spikes in either direction would be temporary phenomena.

Is Gold Going to $1,200 Soon? Or... ? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Currently several newsletters are pointing to the prospects of a fall in the gold price to $850 during this summer. They then say that later in the year, after September the gold price will rise to $1,200 Some say it will rise now to $1,000 first then tumble back to $850 before rising to $1,200 later in the year. If it does pull back to $850 prior to a rise to $1,200, then it is clearly an excellent trading opportunity for even long-term investors, with a potential 50% trading profit!

Silver Elliott Wave Alternative Counts Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Roland_Watson
Having looked out to months if not years and decades in our last article, we shift to the other end of the scale and how the eight hour chart of silver is going. I mentioned a near top to subscribers recently and one target price was the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the entire March to November 2008 drop. On the NYSE that drop was $20.90 to $8.79 and if we do our sums that retracement comes out at $16.27. Yesterday silver got as high as $16.23 and has reacted to the downside with a dollar drop so far.

By: Seven_Days_Ahead
An initial recovery in Wheat prices last year was subsequently almost completely reversed.

By: Pravda
Another considerable fall in prices on oil will most likely not happen, Russia’s Minister for Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina said.

Precious Metals: Too Far Too Fast? What’s Likely to Happen Now? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This year’s bad economic news overshadowed the aspect of geopolitical risk, which again reared its ugly head over the past few weeks. North Korea has conducted a new nuclear test and fired short range missiles. Iran has made several moves that in slower news cycles would have dominated the headlines. Israel, worried about the situation in Iran, is conducting a five day drill, dubbed ‘Turning point 3,” to prepare Israel’s rapid response capabilities in the event of simultaneous missile strikes and terrorist attacks. All this is bad enough without mentioning other flash points, such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria and Venezuela.

The Global Race to Secure the Earths Natural Resources / Commodities / Resources Investing
By: The_Gold_Report
China's export-based economy, once dependent on American greed, is now but a fading memory. While the U.S. was busy printing and preening, the Chinese were long-range planning. But America wasn't the only country caught off guard by China's strategic, if surreptitious, supply procurement. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, John Kaiser, mining analyst for more than 25 years, explains how the East-West economic tables got turned and why he remains steadfast in the belief that "we are not at the mercy of places like China."
