PIf you think there’s no money to be made in the markets think again!brbrTake oil companies. They're trading as if their oil reserves are worth as little as 15 cents on the dollar. Gold miners? They're an outright steal. One of my favorites with over 93 million ounces of gold, is valued at just 21 cents on the dollar!brbrIn fact, almost all natural resource companies are grossly undervalued -- including some of the largest in the world.brbrBut it's not just natural resource companies. Companies of all kinds all over the globe are trading as if their profits today and earnings tomorrow don’t even exist. Is that amazing, or what?brbrBottom line: There are bargains and profits galore in these markets.brbrTo read about some of the companies on my radar screen and how you can be sure you're positioned for the profit opportunities of a lifetime, go to my A title=Larry Edelson ...

There wasn’t a lot of activity in Thursday’s trading in gold in the Far East. However, at 3:00 a.m. New York time, there were some signs of life…but even the slightest attempt at a rally was met by equal bouts of selling. This ‘up-down-up-down’ activity went on for eight hours.

But shortly after the London p.m. fix was in, a serious seller showed up and took both gold and silver down to their respective lows of the day. Then, at precisely 1:00 p.m., G-Dubya opened his mouth…and one of the biggest turnarounds in gold, silver…and the stock markets…took place. The prices of both metals continued higher into after-hours trading on the Globex. Once again, these rallies in gold and silver looked like short covering to me. But, regardless of the cause of the price rises, the precious metals stocks did equally as well. Volume was only so-so in both metals.

The world is watching what's going on in Washington today, Friday and through the weekend, as Treasury Secretary Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, President Bush and the US House and Senate try to hammer out a bailout package for Wall Street. I do believe it's blackmail, but there are such things as successful blackmailers.I've heard this financial bailout called TARP for "Troubled Asset Relief Program", and I've also heard it called MOAB -- The Mother of All Bailouts. Whatever you want to call it, $700 billion is a lot of money. Unfortunately, I don't think it will solve the problem.Why? Because the crisis on Wall Street is not a liquidity problem as Paulson is saying. Instead, the real problem is massive deleveraging. This is not caused by lack of liquidity, but by risk aversion. In other words, investors no longer want to put their money into risky investment vehicles.Throwing $700 billion of taxpayers' money at that ...

“Crude oil futures recently hit a three-month low after the Energy Department reported a surprise jump in oil stockpiles and weakening demand in the United States. This  led to a much overdue pullback in oil prices.

“No surprise. I’ve been expecting a sell-off, one that should bring oil down to the $107 level — before the next leg up begins. However, I remain as bullish as ever on oil.

“Demand will bounce back, growth in China and India continues, and the dollar, despite its recent rally, remains in a long-term bear market. So once this pullback is over, I expect oil to resume its bull market. My $200 target stands firm.

“Meanwhile, Enbridge Inc., Canada’s No. 2 pipeline company, recently reported its

Congress is up in arms. And the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is on the warpath. Their target: Speculators in the natural resources market. The CFTC said this week that it's investigating a dramatic rise in cotton prices from earlier this year. It also plans to tighten some rules that apply to investors in the broader agricultural futures markets. Those steps come just a few days after the regulatory body said it would investigate oil trading activity to see if prices are being manipulated. Meanwhile, the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee just held a hearing on commodities speculation. At the gathering, legendary hedge fund manager George Soros said: "There is a strong prima facie case against institutional investors pursuing a commodity index-buying strategy ... It is intellectually dishonest, potentially destabilizing and ...

The Giant Stealth Bear Market
by Larry Edelson Last year, when the Dow was hovering near its all-time high of 14,198, I issued my forecast that the next big move in the stock market would be a sharp decline to 11,600.

On January 22 of this year, the Dow hit 11,634.82. Since then, it’s been seesawing up and down, gyrating wildly, yet with an upward bias, reaching as high as 13,136.69 on May 19.

What gives with the Dow Jones Industrial Average? How about the S&P 500? And the Nasdaq?

Where are these indexes headed? With all the terrible news on the U.S. economy, why hasn’t Wall Street crashed in one giant bear market? Could it be that rather than falling …
