Gold Bull Market Next stop is $2,100 not $1,300 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Practically everyone in the gold community has mentioned the inverse head and shoulders pattern on the gold chart and the corresponding $1,300 target. The target is correct but the interpretation of the pattern is not entirely correct. That target comes from the pattern being a reversal pattern but in the current case of Gold it is not a reversal pattern. There is no downtrend it is reversing from. However, the pattern can actually function as a continuation pattern as John Murphy explains in his book, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets:

Gold Question / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ronald_Rosen
Hi Captain Ron,
Thanks for the hand-holding during these tough times!
However, I can't help thinking if the general market is to plunge from here, what can stop gold from being dragged down by the deflationary force, (just as what occurred in 2008) especially when I see silver is particularly weak, and the commercial shorts are still up to their necks?

Gold Breakout Above $1,000 Only a Question of Time / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
To borrow a phrase from a recent piece by Martin Armstrong, “it’s just time” for Gold to shine and revert to its role as money. Of course, the powers that be and their minions laugh in contempt at such a concept. Wall Street laughs at the investment that has no growth potential and pays no dividends.

Gold Struggles to Stay Above $940 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold: Tomorrow heralds the beginning of a new quarter and given the amount of woeful economic news that has appeared lately, it would seem that the fabled “green shoots” have been given a dose of weed-killer. Gold is determinedly staying above $940 on the back of the above news and with the dollar crumbling, record highs cannot be far away. Gold is currently $941/£566/€666.Read full article...

The Real Crisis is Beginning to Unfold… and It’s Not Financial Part2 / Commodities / Food Crisis
By: Graham_Summers
In my earlier article, I outlined the economic backdrop that will push agriculture and food prices higher in the not so distant future. If you missed that essay, you can review it here.
To rehash, we’ve added roughly three billion people to the earth’s population since the ‘60s. We accommodated this growth by using fertilizers, irrigation, and other systems that have deleterious effects on land overtime. As a consequence, worldwide arable land per person has essentially halved from 0.42 hectares per person in 1961 to 0.23 hectares per person in 2002.

Government Regulations to Force Agricultural Food Prices Higher / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES), a 1,300 page yet to be written law based on clearly and widely acknowledged junk science, has been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. Few sessions of the U.S. Congress have been able to pass two major pieces of extremely bad and damaging legislation in such a short time. However, even in a law as bad as this one we should be able to find some ways for investors to profit.

Upside Projected for Gold Miners GDX ETF / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
All of the hourly action off of Friday’s recovery high at 40.60 into this morning’s low at 38.85 in the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) has the right look of the completion of a minor correction within a larger upside recovery period that projects to 41.00 and possibly 43.25 thereafter. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks 38.00 will begin to compromise my current outlook.

This Summer May Prove Hot for Gold Prices Despite the Weak Seasonal Tendencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
I am often asked at this time whether it is a good idea to be in the precious metals market during the summer period known as the Summer Doldrums, in which demand for gold dries up temporarily while farmers in India plant crops and wait for the Monsoon rains. When they harvest in the early September, demand for gold picks up again as they are anxious to convert their profits into gold. After looking at the seasonal effects on gold one might think it prudent to wait through the summer in hopes of entering the market at lower prices.

Gold Continues to be Supported as Green Shoots Evaporate / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold
Gold was trading in the mid $930s in Tokyo overnight but buying in Europe this morning took it over the $940 level. With increasing concerns regarding the sustainability of the fabled "green shoots" and whether the recent recovery in equity markets can be sustained, gold will continue to be well supported. Especially as the relative merits of the individual major currencies (EUR, USD, JPY and GBP) look increasingly like an ugly sister competition. Gold is currently trading at $942.2/£570/€671.
