Last years low for the gold index was in the first week of april,and in 2002 the low for the xau was in the second week of april.Depending on your flavor ,stocks,options or futures,there might still be a little room on the downside.Pick your lows between now and the middle of april keeping in...

Since the dollar started its slide against most major currencies,specifically the euro,its lost roughly 35% of its value.If you value crude in 2000 dollars you'll find that oil would be in $22 to $24 range.Opec' adjustments of production,simply put, are measures taken to head off any losses...

there isnt one.Its not that Alan and the fed wont raise interest rates,they can't.Any meaningful rate increase would suffocate the already struggling economy.I think they'll actually lower rates when it becomes clear,that despite all the previous rate cuts,the recent tax cuts,and all the other...

I say, trade them for future draft picks.Unfortunately ,I dont think anyone will give us anything for them.Dumb and dumber.

I would consider it to be one of the most important numbers, and quite possibly,the key to the economic puzzle.DISPOSABLE INCOME,the Fed and the media stopped reporting these numbers not too long after 9/11 and all the interest rate cuts.Of coarse ,the market was already on a slippery slope...

I watched the currencies for an hour before the open and the euro was basically unchanged at the 128 level. After the trade imbalance and sentiment numbers the euro moved over 129.The xau moved up 2 points to 104.5. Then ,about an hour into the session, the euro started retracing and ended the...

The projected deficit for 2004 is 521 billion, thats an average of 43.5billion a month.January job creation of 112000 would currently average a cost of $388,392 per job. Is this an equitable tradeoff ,or is the deficit spending a prelude of worse things to come?Thanks for your reply or other...

Bought CDE and GSS in the A.M., and sold it later. Didn't catch all the move,but made my daily goal and then some.The Euro is 127,the jobs report seems to have eased the perception that the Fed will raise rates soon(not that I thought they would), and so far the G-7 meeting seems to be a non...

Even though gold was down $16 on Thursday the gold index was down just a modest 2%.Friday ,gold and the Euro turned around.Gold has been above $400, 41 out of the last 42 trading sessions,and the Euro still costs a $1.2464.It seems as though most that lack conviction have exited the sector.You'd...

You may want to evaluate the reasons for the recent selloff,because the very same reasons that pushed gold to recent highs are still in place.The Fed will continue to devalue the dollar even if they actually raise interest rates.The recent selloff was nothing more than some gum flapping by...

BGO,WHT,GSS,are 3 gold juniors that have consistent,solid production, good and improving balance sheets,excellent growth potential,and have been sold off to the tune of 29%,22% and 37%,respectively.All on AMEX and usually on the weekly 25 most active by share volume list.There are lots of...

The ECB members met all weekend and came up with a big fat goose egg in regaurds to the dollar -euro dilemma. Gee ,what a surprise.The euro promptly started trending up again.I think we may see a little more upside in the euro,gold,and gold shares.I believe all were in an oversold...

I live in Silicon Valley, and your information could not possibly include this region.There is no new significant hiring,and infact I just read an article an hour ago on the web, jobs are actually still declining in the valley,but the pace of layoffs has slowed.I can't speak for any other region...

I'm pretty sure he's out here on the west coast with me, in the Silicon Valley.His views reflect the current economic climate here in the valley.Its pretty much a stagnant pond .The only real growth seems to be in the number of corporate and industrial vacancies.He's one of the few guests on...

Thankyou ,Ive always been fascinated by astronomy and should have known that.I actually know a professional astronomer but he deals with stellar bodies outside our own solar system.An extremely knowledgable individual who I've engaged in some fascinating conversation .Actually, I ask all the...

Even though there might be more down side ,I think the most significant part of the move has passed,but hey, stranger things have happened.I thought the trend had just alittle more leg and would carry through to the 23rd of this month. I certainly didn't expect the comments by Greenspan and the...

I think the best way to play this is to hold out for the Mars IPO and the subsequent spinoff of its moons ,(if it has any).Beam me up George.

You are absolutely correct.At the end of the day, at the close ,the only thing that really matters is price.Then again, and I think many members would agree, that worst losses suffered are those that involve trading countertrend.On the lighter side , no disrespect intended,would this mean that...

Did some one stop the printing presses and forgot to tell us?Or did the other members of the G8 start printing and selling their currency by the hundreds of billions and forget to tell us?No. Fundamentally nothing has changed.The only thing that changed was perception.Its my own belief that...

Be patient, this is not a technical selloff. Its institutional investors providing some of us with an opportunity to re-enter certain positions at prices I thought would be long gone.Most juniors are down 20-to 30%,even though gold is 25$ higher than the last time these stocks were at this level...
