By: Investmentscore.com
If this does not get your attention I do not know what will. Imagine buying a $400,000 furnished condo in 2011 with the proceeds of a $6,250 investment that was made in 2003.

By: Chris_Ciovacco

The Influence of the General Stock Market and Crude Oil on Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We’re getting whiplash from all the political changes in Europe, neo-Nazis in an unstable government in Greece and a changing of the guard in France-- "adieu" to Nicolas Sarkozy. We see plenty of reasons for holding on to our long-term gold positions despite the clobbering the yellow metal got on Wednesday down to a four-month low. The euro tumbled this week against the dollar in the worst run since 2008. There is an intense resurgence of political risk in Europe and a couple of months of weak jobs numbers in the U.S. All that has put stimulus back on the table. Another item on the table is the risk of a Greek euro exit, which has risen to as high as 75 percent; according to Citigroup Inc. We also see a rising anti-austerity tide gaining ground in Europe and the abolishing of a gold excise duty in India, all favorable for gold.

Bottom for Gold GDX Miners ETF? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Today's action in the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has the makings of a key upside reversal on relatively high volume. This comes in the aftermath of a 27-month new low and barely any participation in the October 2011 - April 2012 bull phase in the S&P 500.
A major upside reversal (on a close above 42.85) comes after what appears to be a two- leg correction of equidistant magnitude. The first leg was off of the September 2011 high at 66.98 into the December 2011 low at 49.22 (-$17.76). After an intervening rally to the February 2012 high at 57.94, the second leg down was a near-vertical decline to today's low of 41.10 (-$16.84).

Gold Is Money / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Elliot_H_Gue
For centuries, the yellow metal has been viewed as a store of wealth. Unlike dollars, euros or yen, gold can’t be printed or created out of thin air. Gold is a proven hedge against inflation; it’s also a hedge against crises. During the Great Recession of 2008-09, the worst economic downturn since the 1930s, gold prices rallied from $840 per ounce at the end of 2007 to over $1,200 by the end of 2009, even though inflation over this period remained subdued.
