By: Mark_OByrne
It is a historic day for the world with the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America. Gold has rallied by more than 2% despite continuing dollar strength and oil having collapsed 7% to just over $34 per barrel (Light Sweet Crude Oil Future - Combined - FEB09 : -7.6%) . While the dollar is up on hopes that President Obama can turn around the ailing US and indeed the global economy, stock markets internationally are under pressure again today with increasing concerns regarding the international banking and financial system.Read full article...

Gold, Zombie Banking System, Lightning, Earthquakes and Hurricanes / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The earth itself provides many valuable analogies for massive dislocation in the relief of grand energy differentials. In the air, vast differentials between cloud structures in their electrical charge result in sudden lightning bursts as the release. In the air also, vast differentials between high cool masses and low rising warm masses result in powerful ongoing storms in hurricanes. In the ground, more accurately the earth plates, vast pressure builds from the movement of such plates, often with one plate flowing underneath another, leading to massive earthquakes and tremors.

Crude Black Gold vs Yellow Gold, Who’s Ready to Rally? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Chris_Vermeulen
While gold was extremely popular the past few years, I think its safe to say crude oil is unbeatable for popularity, as it's a resource which almost everyone uses on a daily basis and it effects all of us in the wallet when oil prices rise as fuel, shipping costs and petroleum products start to cost more and more. This is the first time I have REALLY noticed everyone is following the price of oil. When kids start talking about it, then you know its being watched like a hawk from all types of individuals and traders. Read full article... Read full article...

Gas Prices Rollercoaster: Why Energy and Infrastructure Are Inextricably Linked / Commodities / Gas - Petrol
By: Investment_U
President-elect Obama takes office in less than a week's time. While many will be watching closely to see how he handles the ongoing financial crisis, I'll be equally interested to see how he handles a far more ominous one: our ongoing energy and infrastructure crisis. Regular readers know I believe energy and infrastructure are inextricably combined. We need cheap energy to fuel sustained economic growth. And we need infrastructure in place to move and dispense the energy from its source to its destination. Today I'm going to give you a perfect example of how the two are intertwined, and how one can play off the other to create a positive benefit for all. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Is A Beach Ball Being Held Under Water / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Captain_Hook
Perhaps the best analogy to explain the fundamental condition of gold is that it's like a beach ball being held under water, where at some point it will escape the clutches of its oppressor, springing it into the light of day for all to see its true worth. Even a child could understand such a condition when explained in terms of a beach ball. When it comes to the day-to-day trials and tribulations of gold however, it's not that simple unfortunately, because although gold is the oldest form of true money on the planet, it's also a political metal caught up in the biggest fiat currency / Ponzi scheme in the history of mankind.Read full article...

Prospects for Crude Oil Recovery During 2009 / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Q1_Publishing
Last Sunday 60 Minutes posed the question, “Did speculation fuel oil price swings?”
The news show's investigative team naturally delved into the personal story of how a small-town heating oil company can't predict the oil prices. Although I'm sure they left out his solution of charging a very high premium to his customers to ensure he doesn't get left holding the bag.
