The Gold Watcher: Last Post - Goodbye
http://thegoldwatcher.blogspot.com/2011/06/last-post-goodbye.html
Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Last Post - Goodbye. As I explained in the previous post, I'm wrapping up this blog because my schedule's gone awry. For the last week or so, other committments have gotten in the way: it's getting to the point where I won't be reliable enough to keep to what I've been doing. So, I'm bowing out and pursuing more free-form work. My description of gold's movement comes directly from this Kitco live chart of spot gold. The Kitco home page. Crude oil, I got from LiveCharts.

The Gold Watcher: Consumer Confidence Falls In May
http://thegoldwatcher.blogspot.com/2011/05/consumer-confidence-falls-in-may.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Consumer Confidence Falls In May. The May reading for the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 60.8 from April's revised 66.0. That drop confounded expectations for a rise to 67.5. Hardest hit was the future-expectations index, which dropped eight points; the present-situation index hardly budged. This reading conflicts with the Consumer Sentimant Index, which showed a rise for May. Daniel M. Ryan. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). So, I've reactivated the old ...

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. US Debt Woes, Though In Background, Still Lurking. That's why Michael Power, Investec investment strategist, believes gold will continue going up.

He went on to say that the gold business has fallen into crisis because of the people’s psychology. Oddly, the news story that reports on this disturbing development tries to put a happy face on the discove...

http://thegoldbubble.blogspot.com/2010/08/nottingham-scientists-find-way-to-use.html
Watching the gold market ascend to its crescendo. Friday, August 6, 2010. Nottingham Scientists Find Way to Use Gold As Antiseptic Agent. A team of scientists at Nottingham Trent University has found a way of binding gold nanoparticles to antibiotics. The gold lessens bacteria resistance to the antibiotics by weakening the cell walls of the creatures. The tests so far have been extremely positive and indicate that the particles are highly potent at neutralising bacteria such as E Coli. Daniel M. Ryan.
