John Embry Expects $1,500 Gold and Early Stage Hyperinflation by Year End
Source: The Gold Report  (6/12/09)
Back for another thought-provoking conversation with The Gold Report, John Embry sees both good and bad news in the weeks, months and years ahead. For example, John—Sprott Asset Management's chief investment strategist—is braced for "an ugly summer," with "another significant test in the equity market." Before year-end, he anticipates $1,500 gold—but also the beginning of worldwide hyperinflation that may take many Americans by surprise. And while John is bearish on world economies for the next few years, within that same time he looks toward "numerous 5- and 10-baggers" among small-cap gold producers and junior explorers with solid projects.

Plunging Bond Market and Implications for Gold
Source: Boris Sobolev, Resource Stock Guide  (6/9/09)
Since early May, the most dramatic events have occurred not in the stock market but in the bond market. Yields for the 5-year T-notes surged by almost 40% while the yields for the 10-year T-Bonds rose by almost 30% in the past 5 weeks. Are the short-term yields rising in an anticipation of a rate hike by the Fed in September? Are the longer-term yields rising in an expectation of a return of economic growth? Does this mean that we are in early stages of an equity bull market and a gold bear market? More >
