By: Andrew_Butter
A bubble is when prices gets distorted from fundamentals by speculation, fear, market manipulation...etc; they are different from cycles which are the natural trade-off and re-adjustment of supply and demand; the difference is that bubbles pop (The Seven Immutable Laws of Bubbles: Example, Housing Markets in USA, UK & Duba). The problem with understanding gold is it's hard to work out the fundamentals, which explains why there are so many myths about it.

Precious Metal Storage......Industry Leader is Leaving the Individual Storage Business / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Bob_Coleman
When an industry leader offers exceptionally low rates for storing precious metals it is easy to become complacent to the real costs associated with storage. Part of a successful storage program is to offer a service that is competitively priced without sacrificing safety. If the program’s expenses do not meet their incoming revenue, a decision has to be made. What many large depositories are finding out is that the old depository model for storing precious metals is simply unprofitable. The costs associated with storage and insurance are only rising. Some large depositories are raising their fees and others are walking away.

Commodities Trading Analysis for Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The rising tide lifts all boats, and that is exactly what we saw last week. Gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and stocks all put in a solid bounce last week.
All our funds put in solid moves with GLD, SLV and GDX all breaking out of their down trend channels which is bullish. While they have generated breakout buy signals we continue to wait for more price action to unfold before putting our hard earned money to work. Each of these funds currently have over 3% down side risk so no position will be taken at this time.

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
One way to make a killing in gold is to forgo blueberry picking. I read an article in this week’s New York Times about two Swedish grandmothers who found, what experts say, may be one of the richest gold deposits in Europe. The blueberry crop failed that summer, so instead of looking for blueberries, as they did every summer, these amateur geologists went prospecting around their small village.

Crude Oil Price Collapse Portends of Larger Monumental Rise / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Ronald_Rosen
There is little known or written about the reason why crude oil was required to undergo a monumental collapse similar to a huge dive. This monumental collapse portends an even bigger and more monumental rise. In jest i would like to call this reason “the rule of rosen.” However, i know better than to usurp in any way those forces that are far more powerful than any mortal or collection of mortals.

With Inflation on the Horizon, Gold Prices are Ready to Rocket / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: With the global economy on the mend, could gold be gearing up for another record-setting run? It sure looks that way. After peaking north of the $1,000 per ounce price level last year, gold hit a stumbling block when deflationary fears in the world's largest economy sucked the air out of commodities prices and sent hoards of investors stampeding into the safe-haven of U.S. Treasuries, and helped spawn a rebound in the U.S. dollar. Since that time, the global economic outlook - especially beyond U.S. borders - has improved, and gold prices have stabilized. The next step - many gold bulls say - is for the yellow metal to make a run for new highs.
