————-

Large banks and more recently pension funds have suddenly become infatuated with gold.  They chant the mantras that gold bugs have known for years: gold is a store of value; owning gold is financial insurance; an ounce of gold will always buy a good suit.  The idea is that if the economy continues to weaken and share prices decline, a strategic allocation of the precious metal will hedge and offset some of the losses in the financial sector.

On the surface it seems to make sense and it’s hard to argue with the logic.  Even so, logic can sometimes get twisted, whereas facts cannot.  The …

Chris Vermeulen (November 11th, 2009) Writes:
So far this week has been slow in regards to commodity etf funds. Gold continues to shine while silver refuses to make a move higher.

Commodity Newsletter for Gold, Silver, Oil and Nat Gas

Chris Vermeulen (November 8th, 2009) Writes:
Everyone is talking about commodities as the place to be in the coming months. I tend to agree, but it is still important to know where each commodity is trading to maximize returns and reduce risk.

Are Gold, Oil and the SP500 having a Seasonal Pivot Trading Low?

Chris Vermeulen (November 1st, 2009) Writes:
Nov 1, 2009 The last week of October was something else. Heavy fiscal year end selling for mutual funds seemed to put a damper on good news and push stocks and commodities lower.

Commodities Stocks Ready to Bounce or Rally?

Chris Vermeulen (October 28th, 2009) Writes:
Commodities and stocks almost look ready for a rally or at least a relief bounce. The market is down over 5% and the normal pullback this year has been 4%.

The New Gold and Silver Companies Index (GSCI)

Lorimer Wilson (October 26th, 2009) Writes:

To meet the growing needs of investors interested in investing in the broader, yet small-, micro- and nano-cap skewed, precious metals mining sector (i.e. the ‘juniors’)  4 new indices have come on the scene lately to wide acclaim. They are the Gold and Silver Companies Index (GSCI) and the Precious Metals Warrants Index (PMWI) and 2 all encompassing commodity-related company indices (i.e. also including commodities other than just gold and silver) the Commodity Companies Index (CCI) and the Commodity Warrants Index (CWI).

These new indexes are ideal supplements or even replacements for the HUI and the XAU which only track the performance of large-cap gold and silver mining/royalty companies. The GDM is only slightly more skewed to small-cap mining companies. The CDNX is, at best, a make-do proxy for the performance of micro/nano-cap ‘junior’ mining companies that are almost exclusively involved in the exploration for gold and silver and the development …

Gold, Silver, Oil, Natural Gas ETF Trading

Chris Vermeulen (October 25th, 2009) Writes:
The past week in gold, silver, oil, natural gas and the broad market wasn’t anything to write home about. We are seeing controlled profit taking which is making the market choppy.
