PEAK GOLD - A Primer on the Economics of Gold Mining / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Professor_Emeritus

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBarrick Gold Mining Company Execs Continue to Exercise Options and Sell Shares: In Part Four I revealed that when it comes to owning Barrick shares, the two top Barrick executives, CEO Greg Wilkins and CFO Jamie Sokalsky have voted with their feet.

Gold Forecast - Gold Price Is Being Driven By Macro-economics and Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

We mentioned briefly in the market section at the start of this issue that there has been a change of tides, and possibly a change as fundamental as a change of current. Yes, last week will be seen in history, as an important one for the global economy and gold alongside other precious metals. We write this section because until last week the price range of gold was seen only in the context of May 2006 price ceiling of $730.

Brazilian Ethanol – Not the Solution But Part of the Energy Solution / Commodities / Ethanol

By: David_Urban

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWorldwide, the United States is the largest producer of ethanol with Brazil running in second place. Brazil is the largest exporter with significant land available to ramp up production.

Ethanol in Brazil started in 1975 when the military government started a program which gave consumers tax breaks if they purchased ethanol-powered cars and fixed prices and purchased farmers production. The government also invested in research which has improved the yields three-fold in the past 30 years.

Uranium Investing - A Distant Metal Thunder / Commodities / Uranium

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSean Brodrick writes: Earlier this year, uranium was on a roll, then the price swooned. Uranium mining stocks tumbled even further. What went wrong?

Uranium users balked at the high prices, and they put off buying today what they could buy in a few months. At the same time, new supply came on the market, some from speculators and some from the government's stockpiles.

Waiting to Sell Short the Energy Sector ETF (XLE) / Commodities / Oil Companies

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The S&P Select Energy ETF (AMEX: XLE) is at a crossroads right here. On one hand, I can make the case that all of the action since the 9/21 high at 76.30 represents a high-level congestion area between 76 and 73.50, which when complete (in a matter of hours) should resolve itself in one more thrust to new highs that projects to 78-79 prior to the end of the entire upleg from 8/16 (62.73).

Gold Sell-off from 28year Highs Expected to be Short-lived / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Mike_Clark

Gold
Gold made a new 28 year high close on the COMEX in New York yesterday. It closed at $746.90 and has sold off in Asian and early European trading.

The dollar has rallied and oil sold off which may be leading to profit taking in gold. Gold was due a breather after the large run up in recent weeks and profit taking and consolidation is to be expected.

Gold Stocks Expected to Correct During October / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: David_Petch

The short-term Elliott Wave chart of the HUI is shown below, with the thought path denoted in green. I expect the HUI to hit 401-403 on Monday AM, to complete wave (1).[1].III. Wave (2) should take approximately 4-5 weeks to complete, bottoming around early November. As mentioned last week, wave 1 was longer in time than wave 2, suggestive that wave 1 was to be the longest wave in 2/3 of time, price or complexity for all impulsive waves of Minor Degree (pink).

Soybeans October Market Secret / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: George_Kleinman

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleToday I plan to share with you this market “secret”: Soybeans exhibit a very strong tendency to form a seasonal price bottom during the month of October. This bottoming tendency is the result of harvest selling pressure because many farmers sell their crop right out of the fields to generate cash.

This year, with soybean prices relatively high, this market behavior could be even more pronounced than usual. After the harvest selling pressure subsides, the soybean market usually exhibits a profitable post-harvest rally trading opportunity.

Silver Short-term Fall to Present Another Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Clive_Maund

Even though recent action in silver has been very positive, with it finally breaking free from the shackles of its “Distribution Dome”, short-term it looks set to react significantly in sympathy with gold, a scenario that is made a lot more likely by last week’s sharp increase in the Commercials’ short positions. The long-term outlook remains strongly bullish, so if the expected short-term reaction occurs it will be viewed as presenting another buying opportunity.

Gold and Silver Analysis - Precious Points: Approaching the Moment of Truth / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Joe_Nicholson

There can easily still be a higher high before this move is done. Silver could also easily see an extension of this move, probably as high as $14.20... if investor sentiment and underlying economic conditions continue to drive money toward inflation safe havens. Caution requires we not ignore … the certainty of increased housing defaults, the ongoing uncertainty of toxic asset ownership, the (un)health of the American consumer as assessed based on outstanding credit instead of retail sales, and now the pessimism of the Fed. Blowoffs end ugly for everyone except those who are forearmed with the knowledge they are taking short term positions and choose their trade vehicles appropriately. ~Precious Points: Is This the Big One, September 23, 2007
