  ‘You can never go wrong with bullion’
  In retrospect in a perfect world it would have been wise to sell our gold and silver and their stocks and go into cash and try to buy them later on the cheap. In the real world, it doesn’t work like that. One thing to remember is gold and silver are the only markets that are driven by fear.
 
  ‘Gold and silver will lead recovery parade’
  Don’t confuse what the markets will do with the general crisis or economic situation. Markets are a different animal; they can do all kinds of things that do not fit into your thinking or should not have happened given the economy or the political situation, or what-have-you.
 
  Bear market actually began in 2000
  There's an argument to be made that the bear market actually began in 2000. It rallied from 2003 to 2007. Then, when the U.S. housing bubble burst, it precipitated the global credit crisis and the bear reasserted himself.
 
  Why diamond industry is against Futures trading
  The diamond industry is not so enthusiastic about introduction of diamond futures as they feel their retail sales would be threatened. But its proponents feel it could help in hedging, price transparency and establishing a benchprice basket.
 
  Best is yet to come for Gold!
  Gold’s path higher will not be a straight line. In fact, I expect some corrections that could knock the yellow metal right on its shiny butt. But that’s short term. Longer term, gold should march higher.
 
  No Futures for Diamond?
 

Diamond is the only significant commodity that is yet to to feature in Futures trading through exchanges. Early attempts at diamond Futures turned to be failures. The basic issue is whether diamond is a "commodity" or piece of art.

 
  Deflation Ahead? Why gold will benefit
  Gold Bullion fell, as all investors should know, due to the process loosely described as de-leveraging. This led to aggressive sellers pushing prices down as they were forced to close their leveraged bets on the price of gold, triggering stop-loss points
 
  Are you still buying a blood diamond?
  With global recession at its peak, precious items like diamond are a far cry. But the fact remains that the world is yet to wake up to the real issue of conflict diamonds.
 
  Why you should sell Gold when stocks collapse
  Gold no longer moves in opposition with the market because anyone who can count knows that these market increases are fraudulent. Every major player now buys gold to hedge their dollar-denominated stocks.
 
  Building a Financial Panic Room
  Building a safe panic room is easier said than done. It depends on what kind of assets you have to begin with. At this point, you'd want to get into a discussion with your spouse, partner, financial planner or accountant on the right mix of assets.
 
  Obama's ambitious climate change initiatives
  The ambition and comprehensive nature of his plan alone should tell each of you how serious Obama intends to be when it comes to addressing the issue of climate change.
 
  Why Middle East nations are hunting for land
  If you have no land to grow food, help others to do that and make a fast buck too. That is the policy of Middle East counties now. Lack of land to grow food has been a problem dogging the Middle East nations.
 
  It's official, Japan and Eurozone are in recession
  It's official, for what it's worth. Both Europe and Japan are in recession. The Eurozone contracted by 0.2% for the second straight quarter. Germany (the largest economy in Europe) and Italy (fourth largest) both shrank in the third quarter
 
  'We are in dangerous times'
  I believe the economic slowdown is really just starting and is going to get worse. I expect a trough in the downturn to come in about a year, but the road from here to that trough is going to get worse.
 
  Meltdown: The toxic effects of Derivatives
  It was probably more than six years ago that we first started to warn in these memos about the toxic effects of derivatives. It was about one and a half years ago that derivatives connected with mortgages began to meltdown.
 
  Global warming to drive solar energy market
  If people do not adopt solar energy, the planet will become unfit for human habitation. The fossil fuels are warming the planet at an exponentially increasing rate that makes life unsustainable if something does not change.
 
  Credit crisis to trigger crude oil supply crunch: IEA
  Major increase in fossil-energy production occurs in non-OECD countries. It calls for energy-supply investment of $26.3 trillion to 2030. Yet the credit squeeze could delay spending, potentially setting up a supply-crunch that could choke economic recovery.
 
  Gasoline from C02 will get an Obama push
  Carbon Sciences Inc has devised a breakthrough technology to transform carbon dioxide emissions into gasoline. With President-elect Obama plan to to push for new and renewable energy for America, the company's mood is upbeat.
 
  How can USA win the battle against depression?
  The government cannot repeal the law of gravity or stop investors from dumping their assets. It cannot turn back the clock or reverse decades of financial sins. It cannot win the battle against depression.
 
  Nobama rally..Nobama bounce, nothing!
  Why no 'bama rally? Maybe investors are afraid that Obama is going to do what he said he would do - raise taxes? Investors may be realizing that the whole U.S. economy is going into rehab. They figure they may need their cash for a little rehab of their own.
 
  Big moolah to be made in Dow, Gold, Oil…
  I am confident that the rally you’re already starting to see in the stock markets and in commodities could continue for several weeks, possibly even several months. It could easily send the Dow back to the 12,000 level. Gold to $900. Oil to $100!
