I often TEAsed my new readers here that I offer the traditionalwelcome drink of tehtarik, in goblets of Ag, Au or Pt. GOLD to traditionalists, especially Asan mothers, is the commodity to hold to hedge against bad times.
Is the current period a bad time? If Yes, then you may have to read thie following article from Steve Sjuggerud's "Daily Wealth" which regularly comes into my Inbox. I normally don't pay them nomind, but I do make an exception occasinally.
Any action you take following this article's reading is yours and yours alone. If you win with a bet, buy me a TT.
If you lose, that's your own call, Desi's sharing here is jest that, worth its weight in words...words....WORDS. and as one of my fave Oz bands sings, join the Bee Gees,in chorus:
"And Words are all I have To take your heart away..."

Editor's note: My friend David Galland is one of the most plugged-in guys in the world when it comes to gold and natural resource investment. So when he comments on something related to the industry, I always pay close attention. In today's issue, we share David's take on a huge trend in the gold market right now. Read on to learn...
Could China Push Gold to the Moon?
By David Galland, Managing Director, Casey Research
Inside sources have recently confirmed the Chinese government is actively promoting gold and silver investment to the masses.
Some analysts now contend that China can no longer afford to let the gold or silver price slump.
The rationale behind that contention is that with the Chinese government now telling the general populace to buy precious metals, it would be highly problematic should gold and silver subsequently take a nose dive.

In many cases, what a government wants and what ultimately occurs can be wildly different, due to unintended consequences rarely foreseen by officialdom, and because once the masses get it into their heads to break one way or another, government's desires are largely ignored.
"You shall not smoke marijuana," says the government. "Roll me another," says John Q. Public.
But in the case of gold, interestingly enough, the Chinese government has the means at its disposal to actually do something about prices. Namely, at $1,000 an ounce, the total value of all the gold ever mined comes to about $5 trillion.
Of that amount, less than $1 trillion is held in official reserves, the rest under mattresses, in jewelry and family heirlooms, and in various ETFs – GLD being the biggest, by far, holding about $34 billion worth of gold.
Against these totals, China has foreign reserves in excess of $2 trillion.
In other words, more than enough to push the tiny gold market around in any way it wishes. Given that much of its reserves are now denominated in fragile U.S. dollars that it would sorely love to replace with something more tangible, and that China is the world's largest gold producer, the country's involvement with gold is something more than just a passing fancy.
Simply, there is a new gorilla in the room in global gold markets. The extent to which the broader market hasn't yet figured this out is the extent to which you as an early mover can ultimately profit. Especially in the more leveraged gold stocks, which continue to be strong even as the broader markets show weakness.

Gold to Stay Above $1,000 This Time Around
That all of this comes before the dollar hits the wall it must hit, or before the inflation that is now baked in the cake arises, lends a lot of credibility to the idea that when the gold bubble begins to expand, it could reach all the way to the moon.
No need to chase gold at these levels, as opposed to buying on dips. But buy.
Sincerely,
David Galland
P.S. As I mentioned above, gold stocks – especially those of the junior exploration variety – will explode to the upside as the bull market in gold progresses. As the subscribers of our junior resource advisory service International Speculator can confirm, double- and triple-digit gains within 12-24 months are commonplace... along with occasional 1,000%+ gains.

It's tempting to conclude a major collapse is coming in the stock market as we follow the path laid out by the Great Depression. But I don't think that's likely.

SPECULATION IS NOT DEAD!
"Risk be damned... just give me a good story." That's our theme for Chart of the Week.
Back in 2007, we used shares of China's largest air carrier, China Southern Airlines (ZNH), to gauge the speculative frenzy in Chinese shares. As we predicted, the stock was destroyed when the China bubble popped. This week, we introduce a new poster child for China speculation: Baidu (BIDU).
Baidu has a wonderful growth story. It controls a giant share of the Chinese search engine market – you could call it the "Google of China." This makes it a favorite among "hot money" speculators.
Baidu suffered a terrific fall in 2008, declining from $373 to $104. But as you can see from this week's chart, the stock is soaring right now... and is closing in on its 2007 bubble peak. We're back to "risk be damned... just give me a good story."
