		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Wednesday, September 7, 2011 The VIX Index is all over the place in financial media these days. As most investors gather, the VIX is a volatility measure that looks to quantify fear in the markets. Many media outlets report from time to time that the VIX, or the Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) Volatility Index, is heading towards record levels. Surely there are plenty of investors wondering how they can get a piece of the action. When most stocks are falling, who wouldn’t want to capitalize on an index that seems to keep rising? After all, fear in the markets is one of the few things that’s becoming predictable. The VIX is a statistic that can’t be traded. It’s a mathematical computation derived ]]></description>

While the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,880 points between July 21 and the morning of August 11, the price of gold shot up 10.5 percent. And that included a launch upward of six percent to start this week. But gold mining stocks haven’t benefited from the price of gold. Except for around a five-percent pop on Wednesday, most gold mining stocks were pummeled alongside the broader market. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) tumbled over six percent from August 3 to August 8 as the price of gold was picking up speed. Earlier in the year, we ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent plunge in silver prices provides lessons for all investors, regardless of whether you invest in commodities or not. As I started writing this on Thursday morning, iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) was down by 5.7%. Though significant by itself, the decline was just the latest in what has been a very bad month for SLV shareholders. Since the start of May, the ETF has fallen from $46.88 to this morning&#8217;s $32.42, a drop of nearly 31%. The drop is even worse when you consider that SLV hit an intraday high of $48.35 on April 28. Chart courtesy of FreeStockCharts.com Notice the volume bars at the bottom of the chart. Interest in the ETF has surged over the past six weeks. Any time a security jumps in price on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China’s Gold Rush by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Thursday, December 30, 2010 The United States has become an exporting nation once again. But this time, it’s exporting inflation thanks to Ben Bernanke and his QE1 and QE2. The countries affected the most, naturally, are those pegged to the U.S. dollar. Like China. A weakened dollar means pricier commodities across the board. And that inevitably means food and fuel prices going up as well. Chinese government authorities have tackled rising inflation by raising interest rates twice already in the past few months. And they’ll likely have to hike them again in the new year. If not, their other choice is elevating their currency value, something the U.S. government has wanted for a while. Funny how it works out that way… ]]></description>

But the margin of the beating might surprise you… S&#38;P 500: The index kicked off the 21st century at 1,469 points. But it ended the decade at 1,115 points on December 31, 2009 – a drop of 24%.

Not only that, the selloff could cause a worldwide financial disaster, global market crashes and the destruction of wealth that will make the popping of the dotcom and housing bubbles feel like a mild inconvenience. Why? Because, quite simply, America is playing a dangerous game of “chicken” with its national debt. And the ramifications are extraordinary. I’m going to explain the situation and give you three ways to protect yourself from this mess before it’s too late… Debt Doomsday: Coming in May 2011 America’s debt ceiling currently stands at $14.3 trillion.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, October 11, 2010 Ten years ago, the western world’s central banks were selling gold from their vaults just as fast as they could… at a rate equivalent to 10% of annual demand, about 442 tons. They didn’t see any further need for such an ancient symbol of monetary stability in the 21st century. After all, it paid no yield; it just sat there Incorporatedurring storage and insurance costs along the way. So they opted instead to fill their vaults with “safe” sovereign debt, with its yields and interest. Fast forward to today, and that same investment looks far from reassuring. And central bankers are finally beginning to see the light. They now understand the value of gold, a store of value for 2,000 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a floor trader on the NYMEX in the 1990s, a “big” day occurred when oil futures moved by $0.50 intraday. And it would take all day for that to happen. Today’s fluctuations make those days look like bingo night at the church hall. It’s not uncommon to see the price of oil move $2 in mere seconds. And intraday moves can easily span $3 to $4. The question is: Why such a dramatic change between then and now? I chalk much of it up to the new electronic technology in the market today, which has opened the door for many more investors. All you need is a commodity trading account and you can be in the market in a flash. That’s led to commodity trading seeing a ]]></description>

The market started 2010 in blazing fashion, with March oil futures tagging $84 a barrel. Next stop: $100, right? A price not seen since the fall of 2008. Not so fast… The market has suddenly lost its momentum and the price slumped to under $70 last Friday – its lowest level in five months. If you want to know why, look no further than the U.S. dollar, which has warmly welcomed 2010 and rallied higher (just as my colleague Alexander Green predicted, by the way). A higher dollar generally makes commodities more expensive for other countries, thus prompting a sell-off in oil and other commodities. As you can see from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Monday, January 18, 2010 The latest annual survey data released from the London Bullion Market Association forecasts that platinum prices will range between $900 and $2,578 an ounce this year, with an average of $1550. If true, it lies very close to the current trading price of $1580, and would ensure a gain of 28.7% on the $1205 median for 2009. That may seem optimistic, considering how much demand comes from the severely depressed global automotive sector.

I’ll tell you what I’ve told my friends and colleagues: More of the same. Just because it’s a New Year doesn’t mean we should expect commodities to behave much differently than they did in 2009. In my final Investment U column of 2009, I highlighted the crude oil and gold markets as the ones to watch as we head into this year. And neither has disappointed so far.

Not that this is a bad thing. If you know what you’re doing, commodities offer some of the most lucrative and potentially explosive profits anywhere in the investment world. And because simple supply and demand is the key driver for many of these everyday products, it’s a sector ripe for volatility and speculation from hedge funds and large institutions. Heck, you only have to look at the oil market to see that in action. It’s not uncommon to see prices cycle from highs to lows and back to highs again in a relatively short time. And ]]></description>

I’m sure I’m going to hear it from the gold bugs now, but my colleague Karim Rahemtulla is right on the money with his assessment of gold. There’s just too much evidence that gold is in the early stages of consolidation. Let me explain why… Gold Prices Heading Down the Dot Com Path? What supports my assertion that gold prices are headed lower in the near-term? Both behavioral and technical factors… Behavioral Think back to the dot com bubble in 1999 and 2000 when all anyone could talk about was the stock market. Today, we’ve got a similar situation in the gold market. ]]></description>

The topic is fiercely debated in the mainstream financial media at the moment – especially for investors who are late to the party. But are they really late, or is the “party” just getting started? Yes, investors who bought the gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD), or gold miners like Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), or Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY) a year ago have seen their investments soar by 54%, 83% and 184% respectively.

However, I’m going to show you how it works equally well on regular stock options, too.

Last month, I had a chance to talk one-on-one with Clinton at the annual International Crisis Group Award Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. I was the guest of Frank Holmes, president of US Global Funds and co-chair of the dinner. It was my second meeting with Clinton. The first was after the 1996 presidential debates when I jogged with him for 30 minutes on a beach in San Diego, surrounded by Secret Service agents. It was there that Clinton said those immortal words when I asked him to sign a dollar bill: “It’s illegal, but I’ll do it anyway.” ]]></description>

It not only allows you to buy stocks for the price you want (at big discounts), but pays you for it, too. I’m talking about put-selling – a strategy I discussed a few weeks ago, when I showed you how to buy gold.

Below is the current Fed Statement along with the one from their September meeting in paragraph-by-paragraph format, with my translation and commentary interspersed. As the graph below shows, the market is expecting the Fed to remain on hold, with Fed Funds between 0 and 25 basis points for an extended period. The graph shows the expected outcomes for the January meeting (before today’s announcement) from the Cleveland Fed. The market set the odds of anything other than standing pat at either today’s meeting or the December meeting effectively at zero. Reading off the chart, it looks like about a 95% probability of no action in January as well. I doubt we ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As gold sets new highs, it would only be natural to assume that profit forecasts for gold mining companies would be soaring too. Surprisingly, profit forecasts are not jumping. Though some brokerage analysts have raised their full-year projections in recent weeks, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is not moving higher for most gold miners. Rather, it is essentially unchanged for Barrick Gold (ABX), Eldorado (EGO), Goldcorp (GG) and most of their peers. Where are we seeing increases are for companies that are significantly dependant on other metals, such as copper or silver. For example, the 2009 Zacks Consensus Estimate for Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has risen 67 cents over the past 30 days to $3.79 per share. (This morning, FCX reported third-quarter profits of $2.07 per share, topping forecasts for $1.14 per share). ]]></description>

It’s a world shrouded in deep myths and folklore that include stories of people losing their homes, or having 5,000 bushels of soybeans dumped on their front lawn. I’m talking about the commodities world, of course. But despite these tall tales, commodities aren’t necessarily dangerous investments. Not if you know what you’re doing and take adequate precautions. Rather, the “secret society” stuff comes from the belief that the sector is a murky one that many investors simply don’t understand. Just the mere sound of “commodity futures and futures options contracts” was enough to send people running for cover… However, nothing could be further from the truth when dealing with commodities.

		<description><![CDATA[With the price of gold again pulling back from its 18-month highs this morning, we start to see more cracks in the bullish $2000 an ounce gold argument. But that shouldn’t surprise. Gold is a two sided, two-faced coin that has very distinct personalities. On one side, we have the hedge against inflation, a reserve currency and the only grail that gold bugs from around the world will believe in. On the other, we have gold as a real commodity, used in jewelry, electronics, computers and space components. But all that glitters isn’t golden, and gold investors can’t have it both ways. The best question we’ve heard to date has been where will you spend you golden Krugerrands when the world comes to an end? The answer is you won’t ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Lee Lowell, Advisory Panelist When you have a mix of bullish fundamental factors backed up by the usual bout of speculation, you’ve got a juicy recipe for higher prices. The world of commodities is a prime example of this. And nowhere is this trend more evident at the moment than in the sugar market. Sugar prices are currently hitting highs not seen since early 1981, driven largely by a projected fall in crop levels in the world’s two biggest sugar-producing nations – Brazil and India. While this fundamental data is critical, it’s nothing without also looking at the chart, which tends to factor in all the price drivers. As you can see, the current state of the sugar market reflected in the October futures contract. Check out that Mount ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Battle-weary investors remained skeptical of a banking quick fix and endured more grim economic fodder during the past week, causing US stocks to hit their lowest level since 1997. After the worst January (-8.8%) on record, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed February (-11.7%) in the third worst position, after 1933 (-15.6%) and 1920 (-12.5%). As if the recent declines are not bad enough, Chart of the Day points out that in inflation-adjusted terms the Dow has gained only 55% since its 1929 peak and a mere 10% since the 1966 high. Global stock markets were generally down on the week as summarized by the week’s movements of the MSCI Global Index (-2.8%, YTD -18.4%) and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (-0.6%, YTD -11.9%). In US dollar terms the Russian ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been no secret that gold prices have been creeping up lately. At just over $900 per troy ounce, gold has run up over $90 in the past 16 days. And while we haven’t reached last year’s record price of $1002.80, moving over $900 is significant. To put things in perspective, gold has only moved above $900 for a few brief periods historically – gold prices we’ve only seen in early 2008. If you’re looking at ways to invest at these prices, the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) is an easy way to do it. Option buying has been very bullish – traders still think the price has higher to go. And they may have something there. Gold does well in inflationary environments. It’s no secret that the Fed ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Au&#8221; and &#8220;Pt&#8221; may be dull chemical elements, but gold and platinum have certainly played their respective parts during the unfolding of the financial crisis. Revisiting the metals&#8217; movements, it is clear from the table below that gold&#8217;s decline was much smaller than that of platinum &#8211; as platinum suffered from the deterioration in the auto industry &#8211; but the recovery of gold has also been lesser than that of platinum. The weekly chart of platinum relative to gold illustrates the massive underperformance (declining green line) of platinum relative to gold from May to early December. However, platinum has since reversed course and outperformed (increasing green line) gold to the extent that it now commands a premium of 16% &#8211; up from parity in December. The red line shows the ]]></description>
