Seeing beyond the blind curves of bailouts and meltdowns takes the keen vision of a veteran market observer, Roger Wiegand, Editor of Trader Tracks. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Roger gives us his latest thoughts on the bumpy road ahead and where he sees opportunities in the energy sector.
The Energy Report: Roger, the last time we spoke, early in October 2008, you were predicting oil would reach a new high before the end of the year. Obviously that hasn’t been the case. What’s your take on what’s happened since then?
Roger Wiegand: What’s happened is that we…

Gold Holders Beware!
The worst possible news for gold hit this week when the Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed piece touting the metal’s virtues. Famed equity strategist, Christopher Wood, in a piece entitled “The Fed is out of Ammunition” concluded by stating the following:
“…the present crisis in the West will ultimately end up discrediting mechanical monetarism — and with it the fiat paper-money system in general — as the U.S. paper-dollar standard, in place since Richard Nixon broke the link with gold in 1971, finally disintegrates.

In this second installment of The Gold Report’s exclusive interview with Kitco senior investment products analyst Jon Nadler, he not only shares a few insights about the so-called “poor man’s gold” (silver) but offers specific advice about how much of the real McCoy our portfolios should hold. He also sheds some light on the differences among EFTs, gold funds and pool accounts.

JN: Given the circumstances we…

Jon Nadler, Kitco’s well-known senior investment products analyst, elicits both criticism and acclaim for opinions that some characterize as contrarian. In this installment of an exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he brings his three decades of experience to bear (no pun intended) on the outlook for gold, promoting the precious metal as a key asset in a balanced portfolio, as well as for its intrinsic value and “insurance” attributes.
The Gold Report: Economic theory tells us gold should be taking off, given all the uncertainty in the marketplace. But we haven’t seen that happen. What is going on?

The Best and Worst a Dollar Will Buy
I am going to use this edition of Charts of the Week to accomplish a series of tasks that has gone undone for too long. Forthwith:
- To answer a brainless dolt called James West, whose name appears with some regularity on the otherwise respectable Kitco website. This “writer” [oh, if only he could string a few words together without obfuscating] produced this gem just a week ago:
“Right now, the dollar is looking strong because of the massive repatriation of U.S. dollars now underway as a result of global U.S. denominated asset de-leveraging. So it looks [the “writer’s” emphasis] like the dollar is strengthening. This…
