Today's technical outlook: Can Nasdaq break away and reverse?
GLD
+36.86%

Filed under: ETF Investing, Technical Analysis, S and P 500, DJIA, Stocks to Buy, NASDAQ  Even if prices appear to be clawing their way through the overhead supply at around Dow 8,000 and S&P 500 825 to 875, the going is getting tougher.
The highest that the S&P has achieved so far was the high of Thursday, April 2, at 846, before it was turned aside on a minor reversal this Tuesday. Volume has been on the low side on both advances and declines, but this week that was no doubt due to the impending holiday weekend.

Why you should own gold. Historically, Gold has been a safe haven in distressed times, during high inflation times, at times when there was distrust of the financial system, and during depressions. Any of this sound familiar? This time will be no different. Recently, gold has been under pressure as hedge funds have scrambled to raise cash unfortunately most hedge funds facing redemptions have had to sell what ever was liquid. And well Gold is liquid and has performed very well relatively so it has been a major source of cash. It isn't that they want to sell it they have had to sell it< />< />< />< />...

jewelry demand trumps panic investment

-35.78%

Gold's demand is being negatively affected this year by lack of jewelry demand. One institute says jewelry demand was down over 25% in Q2 2008, and this might actually worsen. Since jewelry is still about 70% of gold demand, while investment (coins at your local dealer) is still less than 20% (industrial and dental use make up the difference), the risk to gold bugs from the consumer is far greater than the risk to the dollar, which is also accelerating vs. other commodities at quite a rapid pace. This year, Gold's only strength has been market fear, which seems at a current maximum rig...

<> The Dow suffered its biggest one-day point drop in history (although not even close on a percentage loss basis) as investors moved out of stocks into tradition safe havens such as Treasuries and gold (GLD). The failure of Congress to approve the $700B bailout package stunned investors as lawmakers worked through the weekend and practically around the clock to put together a plan that was widely expected to pass. The Senate will return Wednesday night while the House meets again this Thursday following the Jewish New Ye...

"Gold has outperformed nearly all other investments over the past few years," says
