Why Gold Is Dropping When It Should Be Rising / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Alex_Wallenwein
Why is gold dropping right now when anyone in their sane mind would expect it to rise? The simple answer to this question is, “because Comex-gold isn't gold” – and because it deceptively pretends to be 'the' price-setter for real gold.

By: Mark_OByrne

Gold has surged to new record highs in most major currencies including the Australian dollar, British pound (£517) and Euro (€662) as the global contagion deepens.

Gold Crisis and Inflation Hedge Expected to Outperform Crude Oil / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Dr_Krassimir_Petrov

Over the last 7-8 years, gold has consistently underperformed oil. Gold bulls are worried – after all, why invest in gold, when oil delivers a better performance, and so are apparently copper, uranium, and a number of agricultural commodities. The answer is simple – during the early stage of this commodity bull market (2000-2006), the fundamentals of oil were much better than gold. However, the relative fundamentals will reverse in later stages, when gold will dramatically outperform oil. This is simply the nature of the current commodity bull market.

Credit Crisis Bailouts A Calamity Of Errors / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Captain_Hook
Between Lehman Brothers and the AIG bailout , Western central banks have already printed somewhere in the neighborhood of half a trillion dollars this week, and it's not over as Washington Mutual, amongst others, are said to be up next. While undoubtedly being a record for such largesse, because these measures are simply monetizing bad debt of insolvent companies, as pointed out previously, the effect on the consumer's liquidity condition is minimal. In fact, when you add up all the stock market losses, amongst other things , the average investor remains worse off, and deteriorating.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold and Silver Price Manipulation / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mario_Innecco
An Official Market and a Free Market in Gold and Silver. I remember when I lived in Brazil the local currency was like confetti and if you wanted to protect yourself against inflation and currency collapse you had to hold U.S. dollars. Holding dollars, if you could get a hold of it, was very worthwhile as every month that went by you could buy a great deal more of cruzeiros, new cruzeiros, cruzados or reais.Read full article...
