Money Printing No Limits, So Buy Gold and Silver / Commodities / Quantitative Easing
By: Fred_Sheehan
The European Central Bank's latest maneuvers jettison limits to the expansion of its balance sheet. The ECB's manner of improvisation is reminiscent of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's dismissal of legal restrictions in 2008, when Bernanke talked his way around the law before pliant, ignorant, and frightened politicians.

One-trick pony Ben Bernanke, Here Comes the Gold Stock Mania! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeff_Berwick
One-trick pony Ben Bernanke woke up this morning, hopped in his limo, and headed off to save the world! Or at least, in his own mind he did.
As many of us who are paying attention know, however, Ben Bernanke is an idiot-savante of memorizing statist and completely fallacious economic ideas born from an even more disturbed man named John Maynard Keynes. These and other Keynes Kool-aid drinkers like Paul "I look homeless" Krugman believe things like breaking windows improves the world because broken windows make more work for us slaves to do. They also believe that counterfeiting pieces of paper with dead criminals painted on them can improve the world... as it makes us all "feel" wealthier, even though we are poorer. They even believe that if the latest round of QE doesn't work that we may have to resort to burying the newly printed Federal Reserve Notes and then paying people to dig them up... or fake an alien invasion... to "improve" the economy!

How to Play The Energy Crisis / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
Oil and gas reserves around the world are growing scarcer by the minute, and people are looking to their governments for answers. However, leaders' responses are often motivated more by the desire to boost approval ratings than by the need to find real, long-term supply solutions. The individual investor may not have the power to shift the tone of the emotional debates surrounding the oil and gas industry, but he or she can devise a strategy to profit. Casey Research's Rick Rule, Marin Katusa and Louis James sat down with The Energy Report to discuss what it means to participate in a politicized market and how politics affect their buy and sell decisions.

Why Are The Silver Miners Outperforming? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: GoldSilverWorlds
We have seen major developments in the silver mining sector (SIL) which shows that the majors are hungry for the juniors. Coeur D’Alene (CDE) has made some strategic investments in some juniors silver explorers in British Columbia and Mexico, Hecla (HL) made a bid for U.S. Silver and Silver Wheaton (SLW) has signed its first major royalty deal in years.
