"Regardless of the immediate term, an ongoing economic slowdown and credit deterioration will lead to yet lower equity prices. Based on previous examples of credit unwindings, stocks fall anywhere from 40-80%." (4/14/08)  

"The gold correction has been probing and holding above its rising 200-day MA, and the initial drop to $846. I've been looking for a lower test, sub-$800, but with the pattern formed in the last month, I would suggest that a move above the initial rebound from the low, $935, could suggest another try at the March highs at $1034." (6/18/08)  

"...If the current S&P rebound reverses into a brisk decline to a lower low, which I think likely, the gold shares are likely to be taken down hard with it. That is where a better bargain basement opportunity should develop in the days/weeks immediately ahead." (5/7/08)  

"The sharp break across the commodity spectrum may yet see a further testing of the recent highs on gold and silver but they will need a digestive cooling off phase like those following prior tops of this cycle..." (3/26/08)

"The case for holding (not trading) gold has never been stronger. Since mid-March, 2008, gold has been correcting. On May 1 August gold struck a low of 855. Gold rallied, then declined to register a higher low at 850 on June 17. From there gold rallied again. The current upside target for gold is 933 recorded on May 22. If August gold can better 933, I believe the base will have been completed and the correction will be over." (6/23/08)  

"The Fed may fuss about the inflation rate, but they never, ever, talk about the dollar's loss of purchasing power over the years. And here's why. Over the last 36 years the dollar has lost 80% of its value." (6/11/08)  

"The position of the stock market remains too "iffy." My suggested investment position has not changed. The basic position should be cash (T-bills, T-notes, money market funds) and gold, mainly gold the metal." (6/9/08)

"...it is my expectation that within several years, the Fear Index will climb toward the peak reached during the Great Depression. It will do this as the problems with dollar fiat currency become more apparent, causing a flight from the dollar into the safety and security of gold. The flight out of the dollar is already underway. It’s only a matter of time before the rush for the exits turns into a torrent..." (6/23/08)  

"...the short-term correction in gold and silver may be ending. However, I have not yet seen enough strength to suggest that the metals will continue to power higher from here, particularly given that this week is option expiry. I therefore consider it prudent to lighten up by selling some of our trading positions here, but be ready to buy them back if we see weakness, i.e., if there is a dip back into support around $900 for gold and $17 for silver. " (5/26/08)  

"There is no bullish divergence this time, but it appears that the precious metals have again put in a low. Only time will tell of course, but it looks like time for traders to again start buying, with another 60% probability the low is in place." (5/12/08)

"...the growing recognition that the US Dollar may move significantly lower is generating more interest in gold and a temporary bounce in the US Dollar may not cause gold to retrace. In fact, gold may continue to move past $700 on its way to $730, $750, $800 in the process. The market is prime to make the move higher."(4/20/07)  

"I have been unashamedly bullish on commodities for the past three years and have absolutely no reasons to change my analysis. The only difference this year will be that the gold shares will play catch up and I am looking for at least a 100% move in this sector."(1/5/08)  

"...gold has once again become the centre pivot of the currency system and there is a worldwide flight to protection..."(9/30/07)  

"For the past three years I have been constantly bullish on commodities and analysed that markets are commodity driven. Nothing in my analysis has changed. Gold has been the laggard in the commodity sectors but once above the resistance at $670 should resume its full bull trend with a vengeance."(8/09/07)  

"...The FT Gold, HUI, ASA and JSE gold indexes are all on the point of breaking upside out of the long sideways correction. But I also note that the gold price is also starting to perform against all the leading global currencies and this indicates a strong potential bull market..."(7/22/07)

"Combine the energy dynamic with economic growth across the globe, plus exploding liquidity as the U.S. battles an economic slow- down and export economies fight for competitive currency advantages, and the result is a world where money is cheap and commodities are expensive. This is the environment that will continue to drive gold higher over the long term." (6/08)  

"...the path of least resistance for both Gold and Gold Stocks should continue to be ‘on balance’ to the upside in the days and weeks ahead. On a short term basis, we view the sell off of the last few days (and this morning) as nothing more then another near term dip which is in the process of bottoming, and will soon lead to a renewed advance." (5/28/08)

"In the realm of monetary analysis, a ‘liquidity trap’ develops following a debt bubble bust, with the Central Bank moving to cut interest rates and increase the monetary base in order to stimulate the economy. However, as was seen in Japan back in the early 1990’s, “zero” interest rates failed to stimulate the economy because financial intermediaries such as banks were reeling under huge debt losses and became unwilling to lend. With banks unwilling to lend, the Central Banks newly created liquidity is trapped behind a wall of unwilling lenders, and therefore never gets into the real economy." (4/1/08)

"...the global economy continues to grow at about 3.8% per year. This is clearly good news for metal prices and the resource-heavy TSX, which has recently pushed into new record territory. Even though the US economy has slowed, the strong fiscal stimulus implemented by the Fed evoked a positive response in US equities. All of this has, in turn, benefited the junior mining space. " (5/26/08)  

Like it or not, our economy continues to slow down while inflation, in practically every tracked category is on the rise. The Fed notes released yesterday point out that the Fed is very aware of what is going on and in reading their notes, I think it clear that they are no longer, “behind the curve”.

"The story of Carlin Trend gold is fascinating, in that the fact that gold was ever discovered in the region is as unlikely as the huge tonnage that the district delivers today. . .Dr. Ralph Roberts, considered by many to be the father of the Carlin Trend, conceived of and propagated the concept of sub-microscopic gold deposits in north central Nevada. His ground-breaking research and field work were catalysts for the more than 75 million ounces of gold (USD $51 billion at today's prices) produced on the Carlin Trend to date and the more than 100 million (USD$675 million) in gold reserves still in the ground."

"The dis-information campaign initiated by president Nixon in 1971, subsequently confirmed and endorsed by congress, was nothing less than a Orwellian-esque attempt at doublespeak to obscure the act of abolishing the global commitment to the gold standard for what it really was: the default by the United States, in effect, on its $3.8 billion deficit in trade.

The brainwashing job perpetrated by Universities and so-called economists since then on the general public is impressive in its scope and downright awesome in its scale. These days, if you voice any kind of support for the idea of a return to the gold standard, you’re dismissed as a quaintly naïve boob with no firm grasp on the realities of our complex global financial system."

Some benefits: Easily divisible into small amounts, since they are already broken up into small amounts; they don't make this kind of silver anymore and it is very difficult to counterfeit..."

"By the time silver rises to over $25/oz., investor demand may go up three, to five, to ten times what it is today, creating even worse shortages. Thus, you don't have to worry about who you will sell your silver to as the price rises, it will only get easier to sell silver at a premium, or higher price than normal." (5/29/08)  

"...As always, silver trumps gold, in my opinion, since so much silver has been consumed in jewelry and flatware and industry. If the silver to gold ratio returns to the historic 15:1, we will make 3 times more money in silver, than in gold." (4/5/08)

"...The problem going forward is that real wealth is now declining, with the bottom yet to be found. Assuming home prices fall only 30% from their peak (some estimate a 50% decline), while stock prices rise 10% from the first quarter level and inflation is 2% per annum, the real wealth loss is about $7 trillion."
