Is there a buying opportunity for junior gold explorers?
- Junior gold exploration stocks leverage a gold bull market. Therefore in 2006 they outperformed gold until the $725 an ounce peak in May, and then underperformed in the gold market correction. Now that this correction seems close or past the bottom, loading up on junior gold explorers could be hugely profitable.

How best to invest in silver during 2007
- Last week this column argued that silver would prove to be the best investment for 2007, albeit with the important caveat that you should wait for a buying opportunity in the summer when precious metal prices could bottom out after a spring sell-off in equities and commodities.

Silver is the top pick for 2007 but trade carefully
- If 2007 proves to be a stormy year in financial markets, as this column predicted last week, then precious metals look the most solid investment choice. However, precious metals would likely also tumble in a global capital market sell-off, along with oil and other commodity prices.

Why 2007 is going to be a difficult year for investors

Short-term US dollar rally imminent on stock market falls
- Are we about to see a repeat of this May’s dollar rally due to stock market weakness? It is pretty obvious that the US economy is in serious trouble while US capital markets are ignoring reality. This can not last for much longer, and a market sell-off would give a short-term boost to the beleaguered greunback.

Dump the US dollar, buy gold and silver!
- The recent sharp decline in the value of the US dollar should be a reminder to savers that even the greenback is not necessarily a safe place to leave investment capital these days. But do you really trust the euro or yen as an alternative? Perhaps the best solution is to buy the oldest money of all: gold and silver.

Reviewing the systemic case for gold investment
- The twin US deficits threaten to undermine the US dollar within the next two-and-a-half years. Not the argument of a deranged gold bug but the former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker last week. Another Washington big name Robert Rubin also called for higher taxes to rebalance the budget to save the US dollar.

Gold and silver underpinned by Chinese currency diversification
- News that China is to diversify its $1 trillion holdings of foreign currency, and will at the very least be converting a portion of future dollar earnings into other currencies and precious metals, is the best news for the gold and silver market in years. This move will underpin gold and silver prices.
