Can Precious Metals Keep on Flying?
Are you sold on gold? The precious metal outperformed every major equity index in the world in 2008. The question is, can gold—and other precious metals—keep on flying? Or would buying today be buying high and selling low?
Precious metals have always been intriguing to investors because they tend to hold their value. In times of geopolitical crisis or currency devaluation, for example, the value of paper money might fluctuate, but a hard asset will always be worth something. As a result, historically, precious metals have been considered a “safe haven” in times of economic and financial instability.
That brings us to…

Source: The Gold Report
Even if emerging economies’ demands for copper were to falter, Jennings Capital Inc. Mining Research Analyst Peter Campbell sees plenty of polish on copper ahead. One big reason: Even a gradual climb out of recession will prompt North American and European manufacturers to replenish inventories as they begin restoring production to pre-crash levels. As for the copper companies themselves, he tells The Gold Report that some of the best bets lie with emerging producers that are prepared to augment diminishing supplies with new finds. Peter has his sights set on iron ore, nickel, aluminum and other base metals, too,…

Once again, the U.S. Mint can’t keep up with the huge demand for American eagle gold and silver coins. Americans are so anxious about the uncertainty of the seemingly never-ending financial crisis that they are demanding physical positions of their gold and silver, the only true money.
It’s not hard to see why. In many ways American eagles are ideal ways to buy gold and silver.
They are easily recognized, certified by the U.S. government, and easy to buy and sell through any coin dealer worldwide. And they normally sell for close to their bullion value. That is, until recently.

19Mar2009 | Investment U | 0 comments | ContinuedGold Investments Market Update – Gold to Reach $5000/oz According to Respected Goldcorp Founder
Gold surged a further 3.3% yesterday to $942.45 (as did silver) as worries about the US and global financial system and economy continue to grow and governments print money on an unprecedented scale to combat the economic crisis. Asian and European stock markets are again under pressure this morning.
The strong close above $930/oz yesterday should see us once again challenge the record highs of $1,003/oz seen last March (March 17th) when Bear Stearns collapsed.
We have since had a long period (nearly 12 months) of correction and consolidation and thus a solid foundation has been built from which the next leg…

The dollar experienced massive losses as risk appetite surged lifting the financial markets. The EurUsd rallied 150bps to the mid range of 1.29, while the UsdJpy gained nearly 70pips finding resistance at 92. Equity markets jumped in the US and Europe, with the Dow up 2.7% or 270pts and the DAX added 134pts or 3%. Bond yields were mixed surprisingly, the 2yr in particular didn’t catch as much downside as one would expect, with the Fed buying it will be hard to pop the fixed income bubble. Commodities were lower in both the energy and precious metals sectors with oil…

If you were counting on gold to boost your returns this year, chances are you’ve been cruelly disappointed. In fact, when it comes to gold-related investments, virtually every category is down, making this one of the worst years in history for gold investors.

I’ll get to that in a minute. But first …

Events of the past month have left investors with terrified, sick feelings as trillions of dollars in paper wealth suddenly evaporated from world stock markets.
