G Gartman: EU Debt Plan to Hurt Currencies - Buy Gold in USD, GBP and EUR as “Is a Currency” Gold has edged higher in all major currencies again today as concerns about the European debt crisis and the risk of contagion is leading to demand for gold for wealth preservation purposes. The likelihood of the Eurozone sorting out their intractable problems has come into question again as bankers in Europe’s largest banks have clashed with politicians about the size of losses they will have to take on their Greek debt. Another bullish factor is more dovish sounds from the Federal Reserve regarding driving down mortgage rates to support the housing sector and another round of quantitative easing which was suggested by William Dudley, president of the New York Federal Reserve ...

Do you still believe that? Steve Palmer: Yes, there is nothing that has transpired that would cause me to change that view. The economic data has been quite good. The market was retesting the low that it hit on Aug. 9 and it briefly dipped below that level. But it had one of the largest rallies in the last 25 years to rise above that low. From a technical point of view, the retest was successful and we have continued to trade higher since Oct. ...

We are forming the fuel for a continuation of the gold bull market now. Here's a clear indication that we need to be alert now or even start acquiring junior gold producers with solid assets in good jurisdictions. The next rise in Gold will be seen in the juniors IMO. repost from Barron's: Gold Miners With Mother Lodes of Cash Dundee Capital Markets offers up a list of gold-mining stocks that are generating lots of free cash flow. One of the golden rules of mining is to generate lots of cash and spend it wisely. With volatility as the current theme in stock markets, we suspect investors are interested in seeking out stability in defensive names such as existing producers. This stability, we'd argue, can be achieved through established mines, which are already producing with little additional required capital expenditure to sustain or grow this rate of production. ...

G ...Gold is up nearly 3% on the week and looks set to post its biggest weekly gain in more than a month. Markets remain nervous about the risk of contagion ahead of a G20 meeting whose agenda will be dominated by the euro zone debt crisis and steps to tackle the contagion. Gold should be supported by global inflation data this morning which remains stubbornly high particularly in emerging markets. Inflation in China and India remains very high. In India, inflation exceeded 9% for the 10th month in a row and in China inflation is at 6.1% but the key food component of inflation rose 13.4% year-on-year in September. ...

Excluding the current downturn, the S&P 500 has shed more than 17 percent 14 times since the end of World War Two, but the economy only fell into recession on nine of those occasions... Read more...
