Filed under Gold and Silver, Stocks

The German Dax is closed for Maifest (May Day Celebrations), but Futures are open for trading. So it will be a traders fest, potentially ignoring any fundamentals and guided by the Dow for the night.

Inflationary Assets: Gold and Silver

Fundamentally, inflationary assets such as gold and silver will continue to go up as governments continue to bail out both Wall Street and Main Street. Unprecedented money printing will no doubt cause a shift in investments to inflationary assets. The flight to safety (ie USD and US Treasuries) is an ...continue
Go Gold and Silver!
no responses - Posted 01.03.09
As much as we hardcore inflationists like to believe in the $3000/oz Gold Story, there are others who sit on the opposite camp who have good reasons to believe that the Gold rush is just another speculative bubble. An article we found online by John Handbury nine months ago predicted ...continue
