I believe Gold traders are keeping a close eye on the recent turmoil in the Stock Market and it brings back memories of the mass Metals liquidation to cover margins in their Stock portfolios. Despite a very weak U.S. Dollar, Geopolitical tension, and the signs of a weakening economy, it is my belief the gold trading community is content to take profits. After all, the Holiday markets are just around the corner. http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/11/gold_traders_take_profits.php http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/11/gold_traders_take_profits.php Precious Metals Mon, 19 Nov 2007 11:02:49 -0500 Wealthy Moving to Hedge Funds The world's wealthiest private investors are planning to put more money into alternative investments over the next three years, a report says.

Grantham is not the only forecaster that has mentioned the overvalued prices of assets across the globe. Most recently (May 23rd), in one of Alan Greenspan’s consulting appearances he mentioned that Chinese markets were at unsustainable levels. http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/06/world_asset_bubble_jeremy_gran.php http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/06/world_asset_bubble_jeremy_gran.php Economics Sat, 02 Jun 2007 09:29:02 -0500 Best on the Street Analysts Survey Thomson Financial, an operating unit of the Thomson Corporation and leading provider of information and technology solutions to the global financial community, and The Wall Street Journal have teamed for the eighth consecutive year for the Best on the Street Analysts Survey published in today's Journal.

We are seeing a trend develop in the soft complex that is worth mentioning. We are seeing all but one of the major soft markets trending down which could be foretelling of an overall slowdown in the pace of growth commodities have enjoyed in recent years. Markets like OJ were leading indicators on the way up and are now likely to be leading indicators on the way down. This in no way implies that the commodity boom is over but rather just a normal correction or slowdown within a larger bull market. http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/04/market_comments_by_derek_frey_1.php http://www.investoffshore.com/blog/2007/04/market_comments_by_derek_frey_1.php Futures, Options and Commodities Mon, 23 Apr 2007 20:20:04 -0500 China Energy Production Plans SHANGHAI (Interfax-China) -- China aims to produce 193 million tonnes of oil and 92 billion cubic metres of natural gas by 2010, according to an energy blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on April 10.
