    Critical Price Juncture For Silver [view article]
    something else, trendlines are always broken and measured moves are not always realized...

    A new chart pattern is not recognized until after it has begun to unfold.     Reply

    Finally...someone who understands that looking at a 3 month or 1 year chart can send one down the creek without a paddle. The charts tell the tale...the fundamentals will reveal themselves in due time.

    Two different takes on Gold and Silver...Gold was not considered as anything but an inflation play in the 70's, it is now. Silver had film and Hunts then, now it is used in washing machines, food storage containers and will eventually be used in shipping perishable food.

    Gold below 800 possible, sideways between 870-950 for 3 quarters probable...Silver between 15-16...buy.     Reply

    It would be nice to see ER% (expense ratio) as one column, plus any info on loads. That would be a big decider for me given that many of these track the same indices and/or have similar holdings with slightly different percentages. Reply

    If you think CDE or HL will not crash and burn, then why not buy the stock and collect rent on them; by writing [selling] covered calls against the stock you own. Sell the calls when the stock has rallied; buy them back when the stock has tanked. Or just let them expire and do it all over. Reply

    if gold will reach 2000 an oz in 6-8 months then what would the prize of oil be, and what would the prizes of other commodities and food be? and what would this world be? Hell? Reply

    Business cycle years in which USA dollar interest rates are falling have been supportive of gold price upswings as well as increases in gold mining stocks and also mutual funds such as the Fidelity Select Gold Funs which holds gold mining stocks. For example, in the 2001 through 2003 period, gold rose from $280.00 to $400.00 per ounce and in the same period the Fidelity Select Good Fund shares rose from $10.00 to $31.00 each by the end of 2003.

    Who knows what will happen as the Fed cuts rates starting in late 2007. History could repeat.

    To check this data, you can go to financialtrax.googlepa...
    and click on Commodities and then click on the Moore site click and then look at short term interest rate history and then look at gold prices.

    Gold mining stocks per cent change amplify the gold bullion because in the short their costs per unit of gold extracted stays constant while the whole increase in the revenue from the unit of gold sold passes through to profits.     Reply

    Where oh where are the inflationary forces coming from?

    A drastically increased money supply will eventually cook America's goose.....but lets see...Food, energy, the Chinese currency(used to be above 8 now around 7 and still appreciating...6 years ago they were exporting deflation now its inflation), material costs for just about everything else...

    Three years ago a junior miner made an assestment for project costs on a certain property...because the costs jumped by 150% in that time frame they are unable to raise the capital and have shelved the project...this type of problem will only drive costs higher...no new supplies. Refiners have a problem...input costs have risen faster than refined products...They are shutting production until prices rise high enough to reopen...capacity utilization is down from 95% to around 80% in the last two years...Americans have insulated their homes, reduced temperature settings, installed more energy efficient appliances, are driving less....big deal...they can't do enough anymore to offset the higher costs...they will learn to live with it...and will want higher wages to cope....bye,bye deflation, hello inflation.

    I don't see hyperinflation but do expect another 50% increase across the board in the next 5-10 years...     Reply

    Something called "TheGoldReport&qu... is bullish on metals? What a surprise!

    "I'm increasingly fearful about what we’re seeing."

    Be greedy when others are fearful.     Reply

    Inflation is demonstrated by two factors; one is an increase in money supply which lowers the value of currency, and the other is a rise in demand whch causes prices to go up. Oil demand is not falling and now food demand and cost has lead to riots and starvation. Pick one or both. The dollars are partly due to the pegging of oil to the dollar. If oil were pegged to some other currency, it may not rise as much in that currency, but would still rise against the weakening dollar. Reply

    All the bullish cases for gold seem to assume we're about to enter a period of hyper-inflation. With a global credit crunch in play I don't see that happening. Homeowners can't treat their mortgage like an ATM anymore, the stock market is declining, banks aren't lending to each other, etc... The fed rate may be low, but if nobody can get credit it doesn't really matter.

    Where are all these inflationary dollars going to come from?
