Gold Short-term Overbought, Against Strong Longterm Bullish Trend / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The Era of Simple Solutions continues to unfold. For every complex problem, as the wise man once said, there is a simple solution, that is wrong. Into the abyss of collapsing financial institutions rode the Federal Reserve, with a check book in each hand. The crowd went wild over this simple solution. And in response to the fundamental failure of U.S. auto companies, welfare checks were mailed to them. But yet, that is not enough. As a remedy for the economic ills brought on by the housing debt bubble, the Obama government will borrow about $2.5 trillion dollars in the coming year. One of those trillion dollars will be frittered away on Congressional pork and mailing checks to voters.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Falls into Consolidation Zone of $830 to $890 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has fallen again today and is down some 1% but continues to consolidate between $830/oz and $890/oz. Gold should remain well bid given the degree of international macroeconomic and geopolitical risk challenging us as we enter the New Year. The Middle East tensions continue to escalate and oil is up another 2.5% again today to some $50 per barrel again. Silver has outperformed even gold in the last 30 days and is trading very well – up nearly 17% versus gold’s rise of 12%.Read full article... Read full article...

Geopolitics to Drive Gold Prices Higher During 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has commenced the New Year as it did in 2008 – up sharply in early trading before selling off somewhat. Gold surged (along with oil) on the open in Asia on geopolitical concerns with the Israeli military offensive against Gaza escalating. However, with oil giving up some of its earlier gains and the dollar stronger against most currencies so far this morning, gold has given up its earlier gains.Read full article...

Gold and Crude Oil Trading 2009 Special Report / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Gold Trading: Gold closed higher for the week with very low volume due to the holidays. It is difficult to get a feel for where stocks and commodities are headed in the near term because of this light volume. Generally during holiday season light volume favors the longs and prices generally drift higher, which is what we had last week. The charts below will show you how I see the market and how I react to these salutations. Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Technicals Point to Correction Lower / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Although silver does not look as vulnerable to a reaction as gold on the charts, it will likely drop in sympathy should gold go into reverse near-term as expected. On the 1-year chart we can see that overall silver still looks good, with it having broken decisively out of the downtrend of the latter half of last year and also clear above its 50-day moving average, which has now turned up, with the MACD indicator trending upwards too. These positive developments have created the conditions for a new uptrend to get underway. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Rallying Towards Resistance / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
We've been here before haven't we? Gold has been in a rising trend for some considerable time, taking it to trendline or resistance targets, and then "wham!" it gets whacked back down again. Certainly the long-term outlook for gold is excellent, especially given the strong and increasing demand for physical, but over the short to medium-term it now looks set to get taken down again.

By: The_Gold_Report
With more than 20 years of experience in the investment industry, Sheldon Inwentash, chairman and CEO of both Pinetree Capital and Mega Uranium sheds some light on the future of gold and navigating the “murky and tricky” junior space.
The Gold Report: Sheldon, from a macro overview, where do you see the precious metals going? The U.S. government and all central bankers are jumping in at unprecedented levels. The Fed says it's going to throw in everything it's got to stimulate. Is it going to be enough and what will that mean for commodities? Or, if it doesn't work, what does that mean?

Agribusiness ETF Should See Upside Continuation / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Mike_Paulenoff
One sector that I continue to follow closely is agribusiness, which technically argues for upside continuation from a base-like pattern structure that has developed since early October. A hurdle of key resistance at 29.25/75 in the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (AMEX: MOO) should trigger upside continuation towards 35.00-36.00 thereafter.Read full article... Read full article...

How to Invest in Crude Oil 2009 / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Richard_Shaw
Oil as a commodity is an interesting real asset. What investments most directly create the economic effect of owning oil itself?
The best answer would be to own an oil well, or better yet, own an entire oil exporting country. However, neither of those options is a practical answer for most investors, certainly not owning a country (unless, of course you are born into the right family).

Agri-Foods Strong Bull Market Investment Fundamentals / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Gold Bugs, and others deemed misguided by the Street, missed out on another one. If they had listened to really smart people, they would have had their money with Bernie Madoff. Are Gold Bugs ever going to truly understanding real investing? You kept your wealth in Gold coins locked away at the bank or in a Gold ETF. You could have had your wealth with some really big name hedge fund-of-funds instead. You too could have had your wealth vaporized. Oh well, maybe you will get it right next time.
