Both Gold & Silver Seem Oversold - Boyz Active

The boyz are loaded with shorts on the precious metals and may be taking them down to much lower prices. Would that this would be the last time. They certainly have the deep pockets to be able to do what they want and covering these shorts would be of great benefit to them. It could well be that silver will be the impressive performer for the near future even surpassing that of gold.


Our miners are rebounding a bit this morning as the price of the metals has stopped falling for the time being. Here are some >>AUY 8.59;CEF 11.21; DROOY 7.74; HL 2.33; HMY 8.60; SLW 7.63; SSRI 17.48, and VGZ 1.57. All are in reasonable buying range, but we do not know the immediate future for gold and silver. It is up to the boyz. Silver is oversold and gold is nearing that level, too.

Commodity price manipulation breeding tougher regulation approach

UK (and European) regulators may well support possible measures being taken by the CFTC in the U.S. to reduce commodity and metal market speculation.

WEYBRIDGE,UK (SHSS) -

The statement that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) was considering further measures to reduce speculation in commodity and metal markets is in keeping with events which go back as far April last year.

This statement follows comments made after last month's G8 meeting and from minutes of a more recent Federal Reserve Board meeting. Both statements referred to the unwanted return of speculation in commodities which might impair the global recovery. Read it HERE.

There are two sides to this report. (1) We of Austrian (Biblical) Economics do want a minimum of government control. Of course, government should punish fraud and theft, but it does not seem to be of that mind in this case. (2) The manipulation should be stopped.

Therefore, I have mixed feelings on this subject.

Government Care a Health Hazard

by Cal Thomas

Most of us are familiar with the old expressions: Look before you leap; a stitch in time saves nine; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. These phrases remind us to think before accepting anything as fact. And never have they been more applicable then now, as the Obama administration attempts to re-fashion the healing arts. Read it HERE.

Ask yourself, "What does government do well at reasonable costs?" I can find nothing that our government is currently doing that would meet these two criterion. Therefore, ask yourself, "Do I want government to manage my health care?"

Catching The Gold Bug
LARRY LIGHT

Worried about a harrowing, inflation-ridden future, Scott Van Steyn has found the answer in a batch of glittering one-ounce gold coins. In fact, they make up a large chunk of the physician’s assets.

“There’s 2,000 years of history to show that gold is the best thing to own during bad inflation,” says Dr. Van Steyn, a 45-year-old orthopedic surgeon in Columbus, Ohio. “People used to laugh at me for buying gold. They don’t anymore.” Read it HERE.

Wow! From one of the mainline media!

Delinquencies on U.S. Home-Equity Loans Reach Record

U.S. mortgage fraud 'rampant' and growing-FBI

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7 (Reuters) - U.S. mortgage fraud reports jumped 36 percent last year as desperate homeowners and industry professionals tried to maintain their standard of living from the boom years, the FBI said on Tuesday. Read it HERE.

I am so glad to see that the housing bubble is finally going away. By the way, the U.S. mortgage fraud, if true, is another example of what happens with most government plans. It feeds the greed and larceny of people's hearts.

Have a great Thursday! If I were buying, it would be in small increments. And I would likely use some trailing stops at this point in time. Our success is up to the Lord, Who controls all.

Gold is 913.20 on an up tick and silver is 12.81 on a down tick. By the way, HL2.44 up a bit from what was reported, above.

Best to each, Doug
