Gold Demand Remains Strong As Buying Records Continue To Tumble
Submitted by GoldCore on 05/16/2013 - 10:30 Bear Market Blackrock British Pound Central Banks China Exchange Traded Fund India Middle East Reuters World Gold Council There are no surprises in the latest World Gold Council Gold Demand Trends report other than the fact that statistics show global demand for gold in Q1 2013 was on the increase before the COMEX raid on April 15th. This is a clear indication that the fundamentals supporting a strong price for gold in the long term remain and also helps to explain why there was such a shortage of gold bars and coins in the weeks after April 15th.

Rick Rule: Uranium’s Wounds Are the Making of a Bull Market
Submitted by Sprott Group on 05/15/2013 - 10:56 Australia Bear Market France Japan Kazakhstan Three Mile Island Uranium Natural resource speculators know that past uranium bull markets offered some ’explosive’ (pun intended) upside. I have been fortunate enough to experience two uranium bull markets: the 1970s bull market, which saw a tenfold increase in the uranium price and a hundredfold increase in some uranium equities, and the bull market of the last decade, which saw a repeat of the earlier performance.[1] If past is prologue, the stage may be set for a third uranium bull run.
