Feb 9 Was Friday a Key Reversal? Franklin Sanders
Even markets in a primary uptrend zig and zag up and down. Go back and check your premise that led you to conclude silver and gold prices are in a primary uptrend. Have any of those drivers changed? US government stopped deficit spending? Federal Reserve stopped creating money out of thin air? Stocks escaped their primary down trend? Dollar exceeded 100 on dollar index? No, none of that has changed, and neither has the primary uptrend in silver and gold prices....

Feb 9 High-Flying New Gold Asks: What Recession? Marc Davis
These are boom times for Vancouver-headquartered New Gold Inc. (TSX: NGD (NYSE-AMEX: NGD). Indeed, this emerging mid-tier gold producer has gone from strength to strength over the last couple of years. The company even posted record annual production of more than 301,000 gold ounces for 2009. Remarkably, this has happened against a backdrop of the worst financial crisis in over 70 years, as well as a deep and protracted recession....

Feb 9 The Fateful Hour Howard S. Katz
We see this over and over again in our society. The “experts” seem to be repeatedly wrong. Look at all the marriage counselors who are themselves divorced. Look at the “best and the brightest” who lost the war in Vietnam. Look at the Nobel Prize Committee, who awarded the Peace Prize to Barack Obama just before he led the country into a second war. Look at the economists who are leading the country into one disaster after another....

Feb 9 Inflation: Ignoring Doesn’t Make it Go Away Richard Daughty
The interesting thing about the supposed competence of the WSJ in seeing inflation is that a subscription to the paper now costs $385 per year, whereas as early as the middle of 2004 it cost $338 for a TWO-year subscription. So The Wall Street Journal, as oblivious and clueless as ever, has seen its own prices more than double in 5 years, which comes out to a compounding of 14.87% increase per year, but yet they can’t see inflation in prices? Hahahaha!...

Feb 9 Silver's January, 2010 Dismal Performance Rob Kirby
Contrary to reports stemming from mainstream analysts that January 2010 price drops imply that demand for silver is waning, it is very likely AND consistent with empirical observations that demand for PHYSICAL PRECIOUS METALS [SILVER] actually increased and they are actually in short physical supply....

Feb 8 Silver Market Update Clive Maund
Silver did exactly what was predicted in last weekend's update - it bounced off the support of its long-term uptrend line before reversing and crashing through it spectacularly on Thursday, but then on Friday it bounced back strongly in the late trade, leaving behind a bull hammer on the chart, leading bulls to declare that "the correction is over". The questions therefore are "Was it a correction and is it over?"...

Feb 8 Gold Market Update Clive Maund
Many traders were startled by the magnitude of the Thursday's $45 drop. It was a bearish development for reasons we will come to shortly, but paradoxically it was immediately followed by a "Reversal Day" on Friday, which is a sign that the steep drop has exhausted itself - for now. Bulls, who were poleaxed by Thursday's plunge, are already dancing on the rooftops proclaiming that the "correction" is over as a result of the recovery late on Friday. So what are we to make of this seemingly contradictory market action?...

Feb 8 America Not Near To Solving Its Debt Problems Bob Chapman
...the second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year. Not only will we have failure in prime loans and option-arm loans, but we are faced with a new crop of subprime and ALT-A loans put into motion by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA. In addition, we find it of great interest that the FHA is changing the rules to purchase homes. That, of course, means...

Feb 8 Come Hold MY Hand Aubie Baltin
Once again history repeats, but nobody was listening (except us of course). I know I must sound like a broken record, but it bears repeating: If the cause of the bubbles was EASY credit and excessive money creation that eventually burst and brought us to where we were on March 9, 2009, how can doing more of the same produce anything else besides more of the same?...

Feb 8 EUR/USD: What Moves You? Vadim Pokhlebkin
Analysts always say that the higher a country's interest rates, the more attractive its assets are to foreign investors -- and, in turn, the stronger its currency. Well, U.S. interest rates are now at 0-.25% and in Europe, at 1%, they are 3 to 4 times higher. Isn't that wildly bullish for the EUR? Apparently not, and wait till you hear why -- because in today's announcement ECB president Jean-Claude Trichet warned that European recovery would be “bumpy.” Ha!...

Feb 8 Last gasp for the big commercial shorts in gold and silver? Ted Butler Audio
Silver market analyst Ted Butler, interviewed from the Phoenix Resource Investment Conference and Silver Summit by Eric King of King World News, reports that the big commercial shorts likely now have cleaned out the technical fund longs in gold and silver. Butler suspects that this cleanout may be a last gasp before CFTC regulation or new law in turn knocks the big commercial shorts out of the market....

Feb 8 The Bi-Polar Moving Bretton Woods Meetings Jim Sinclair
1. Bretton Woods was folded. 2. The floating exchange rate system is about to be folded. 3. By default or design we are going to a one-world currency and a one-world central bank of central banks. 4. For Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece or Spain to break off from the euro would be an expansion of the floating exchange rate system under present conditions....

Feb 8 The Goldsmiths—Part CXXVII R. D. Bradshaw
Whatever they do on the US economy, it will not and can’t work to show any real improvements; and indeed, they know it. The only issue with the musical chairs is to see which Cabal cousin or agent is closest to Obama. Right now, they are moving to the place of blaming Geithner for the continuing problems. He must be replaced with another Cabal relative and agent. It might be that Volcker gets this credit. And when Volcker becomes the power player, he will serve and work for both JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs just like Geithner has done the past few years....

Feb 5 Gold Price Plummeted a Monstrous $49 Franklin Sanders
Okay, where are we now? An airline pilot friend of mine once told me that flying a plane was hours of boredom punctuated by seconds of sheer terror. So, too, are markets. If silver & gold do not pull out of this dive, then gold will drop to $1,000 or $970, silver to 1500c to 1450c. Two interpretations are possible...

Feb 5 Market Manipulation in the Balance Clif Droke
The existence of the PPT is basically proven - I'm a reasonably skeptical person and even several years back I've found much I read to be convincing. Extremely large trades in the futures markets by unidentifiable huge traders with unbelievably deep pockets working through brokers known to be government fronts have been documented, usually at critical junctures....

Feb 5 TSHTF Ray Elliott
The event that many would like advance warning on is economic collapse. It is an event that most informed economists say is inevitable due to U.S. deficits that are too large to be paid back. Yet, those of us that must work and pay our bills cannot stop what we are doing and dig a hole to hide in every time a new event happens that appears to be the beginning of the Economic Collapse.

Feb 5 Economic Outlook For 2010 Ian Gordon
The year 2010 is likely to witness a resumption of the economic and financial problems that began in 2007. This will presage a huge move from paper money into gold and probably into silver as well, driving precious metals prices considerably higher. Precious metals share prices should perform even better than the metal prices themselves, as they did in the 1930s....

Feb 5 Gold’s Pick Pockets Continue To Prosper Jim Sinclair
Gold is down today because stops got run on the paper gold exchange. That came on the back of a strengthening dollar due to a weaker euro as a mirror effect. Please return to December of 2009 when the impending dollar rally was sold based on a sustainable US economic recovery. That was enough to convince money managers. That demand then triggers the algorithms which fires off huge fund buying for what today is no reason at all....

Feb 5 The Obama Budget and the Horse You Rode In On Richard Daughty
As an astute Junior Mogambo Ranger (JMR), you no doubt instantly noted the four – count ’em, four! – exclamation points, indicating something that is extremely important or another typing error. Hurriedly calibrating your Junior Mogambo Decoder Rings (JMRDR), you quickly decipher the encoded message, which is that “New money added to an already-gargantuan money supply in one year punctuated by four exclamation points” translates to the worst of all worlds, which is “We’re freaking doomed!” or to just, “We’re doomed!"...
