What is the symbols for oil and gold for yahoo finance chart? USO is for oil ETF but what is the symbol for real oil price?

Or I will be able to get history price of oil and gold.
Don't you think that the price of gold has gotten too high? I just compared a chart of the Swiss Franc, a currency that has been very strong against the US dollar, and the price of gold over the past five years. The franc is up 60% while gold is up 180%. As gold demand for jewelry is limited, the only real reason one can justify buying gold is to hedge against the dollar devaluation. Other sources indicate that the dollar has declined by 13% over the past five years. Would you want to buy gold now? Or start selling?

Thanks for your help! http://bulliongoldbars.org/
Where would I find historical spot prices for commodities like gold and oil? I have been looking for a resource that provides spot prices of gold, oil (WTI), and other commodities but I cannot find any. Every site only seems to have a chart. The price I want is the price that is quoted newspapers and on TV; I don't need futures prices for specific months. From what I understand, spot prices are the prices quoted. I cannot even find the spot price of gold for 12/14/09. Does anyone know why it is so difficult to find this information when the historical prices for stocks are readily available?
I can't determine weather the price of gold will rise or fall for my practice spread betting account? Plz help? I am 18 and I am just learning how to spread bet with my basic understanding of technical analysis in line-dot charts and candlestick charts. I am a strong believer in the saying "the trend is your friend", and I placed a bet on the price of gold would fall based on the fact that the trend had went up all year so far and in the coming months and weeks, days, hours, minutes etc, and it took a turn at some point a few days ago and had been going down for hours during the day mostly. I bought at 1,114.5, it rose to 1,115 and I can't tell wether the price of gold is going to continue to rise or fall (hopefully fall!). What I do know however is that where it stopped trading at the end of this weeks trading, I could tell that on a candlestick chart of gold, there was a spinning top within a 2-hour timescale chart which suggests to me that there is an indicision between buyers and sellers and thats where I'm not sure of where the trend is due to head. Will it rise or fall from its current price of 1,115. Please give me a good resonable, easy to understand answer to earn maximum star best answer. P.S. Sorry its too long of question.

Blackest Wednesday? Is next week going to be +++MONUMENTAL+++? In July at the G8 summit, President Obama tried to borrow more money than Bush did in 8 years. He was told NO. The end of the 4th Financial Quarter on the 30th Sept 2009 is fore-casted to be the Blackest Wednesday in the history of Wall Street. "Sept. 30, will mark the onset of a full-scale financial crash, by no later than mid-October, once the year-end figures have been presented, and the panic sets in." "Mankind is facing a living Hell, in which world population will rapidly plunge—through disease, famine, and the chaos of regional wars—to below 2 billion people." http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/07/30/the-ultimate-october-surprise Those in the know have sent the price of gold rocketing, from $250 an ounce in July 1999 to $991 today. Some experts reckon it could soon reach the price of $1500 an ounce http://www.bullionvault.com/gold-price-chart.do http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/investing/article.html?in_article_id=482981&in_page_id=166 When you print money like the US has been printing money in the last year you get hyperinflation. Back in 1980 $1 Zimbabwe was worth more than $1 US. Due to hyperinflation; $100,000,000,000,000 (100 trillion) notes were issued in Zimbabwe on 16 Jan 2009. The Zimbabwe dollar was suspended indefinitely on 12 Apr 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation Is it going to happen?
Is gold the next "bubble"? http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/109645/is-gold-the-next-bubble?mod=bb-budgeting Check out the chart that compares gold prices to the tech-boom and housing prices. It's pretty eye-opening.
Did you know.... Gold debate II? Further to my previous question. It is a well known fact that in times of economic instability the gold price rises as investors put their money into the safer, harder asset of gold. If you look at the chart below, note the 1930's and 1940's, the 1970 with the Arab Israeli crisis, the high in 1980 with the recession period, the drops in the 1990 boom period and the post 9/11 record highs. Take into account also the value of currencies during the different time periods as well and I am sure you will see that the FACTS testify to the truth of the statement. The effects of the power cuts on the mines last week obviously had an effect on the gold price, but a modest one if you think that the 2005 price was already approximately $600 oz over two twice its 1999/2000 low. Gold prices since 1900 note post 2001 levels soaring http://www.gold.org/value/stats/statistics/avprices1900.html Have a look at the 2007 forecasts http://www.lbma.org.uk/publications/2007survey.pdf Alf you really are going insane, think it might be a time for a holiday. Your answer is just your same old rant and has little, or nothing, to do with the question...... Age getting to you? Darth But is the rand heading into trouble because 1. The major currencies are unstable, namely the dollar 2. We may be heading for a global recession 3. The fuel crisis in SA, obviously 4. Uncertainty about Zuma, although it didn't seem to alter much in the weeks after he was elected as ANC leader 5 A combination of all of the above 6. Something else. Remember the old economic saying.... When America sneezes.....
Economics: Gold trends.? Visit www.goldprices.com and use the chart to find the very latest price of gold. Compare that price to the price at the beginning of the day. Next, select "1 year" at the bottom of the chart. What was the highest price during the last 12 months? The lowest price? Assume the price fluctuations observed resulted exclusively from changes in demand. Would the observed price changes have been greater or less if the gold supply had been elastic rather than inelastic? Explain.

Chart showing base and precious metal prices adjusted for inflation? A coworker and I were talking yesterday about the debate right now over whether the U.S. is "officially" in a recession, and the point came up that while the economy's growth has slowed, gold prices (a common barometer for inflation) are nowhere near a record high when adjusted for inflation. I've seen stories recently that have also mentioned soaring prices for base metals such as copper (hence a glut of recent news stories about copper theft), but I haven't been able to find any information on inflation-adjusted base metal prices. Anyone know of any online charts showing historical precious and base metal prices adjusted for inflation?
Ron Paul and the gold standard? I was having an argument with my crazy neighbor who is an ardent Ron Paul supporter. He was trying to get me to caucus for Ron Paul. I told him I don't like Ron Paul. Of course, we started arguing. One of the issues that came up was the gold standard. Specifically, Ron Paul wants to go back on it. Can some intelligent Ron Paul supporter tell me why going back on the gold standard would be so great given that: 1. The strength of our currency would be tied to a relatively volatile commodity? (Just look at some historical charts for the price of gold. It's all over the place.) 2. The ability to change the money supply would be taken out of our hands, thus reducing our ability to take the edge off of the business cycle (the boom/recession cycle that every country seems to go through)? 3. Gold is no more inherently valuable than US dollars? (It's just shiny rocks. If everybody decided they don't want gold anymore, it's worthless. Just like fiat currency.) Thanks!
A liberal just said Beck lied about gold and the prices are dropping. Is this true? http://www.kitco.com/market/ Gold Charts GOLD 1080.90 1099.00 If that is dropped what was high. Gold usually stays around $300.00 dollars a once. http://www.usagold.com/gold-price.html Not since 2003 you consider that so long ago. At $300.00 a ounce that is. Gold prices averaged $300 in '03, $400 in '04, $500 in '05, $600 in '06 and $700 in '07 and $800 in '08. But today many experts are forecasting $1,100-$1,250 gold prices in 2009 on their way north of $2,000/oz.
Does anyone understand the gold markets . . . .? I was reading an economic theory (of sorts) that basically said you could determine the back end of a recessionary bell curve by monitoring the price of gold . . . the supporting evidence, in part, relied on a chart witch graphed the last nine officially recognized recessions . . . basically at the beginning of the recession gold began to rise . . . peaked somewhere post middle . . . and at the end of the recession was trading within 3% of the initial price All except 1978 . . . in which gold was still trading at twice the initial rate . . . Does anyone understand why? I'm assuming the effects of the oil embargo on international relations lead to some sort of quasi-inflation on commodities . . . but I'm not sure . . . so what was so unique about 1978 that caused permanent commodity inflation. Thanks. But that doesn't explain 92 . . .92 followed the previous bell curve . . . not the 78 pattern . . .the 78 pattern was an economic model unto itself. Thanks Lisa . . . it makes sense now . . .
Technical Analysis: Spot Gold? Hi Where can I do TA on Spot gold prices? Seem to be a lot of charting available for futures, can't find any online platforms to do TA on the actual gold prices though.. thanks
What is happening to Gold prices? Has anyone noticed the trend, when NYMEX opens Gold starts down. When London closes it can plunge. http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html It seems to putter through the day then regain when Asian markets open. Is New York, or possibly the Day Traders, driving Gold down? Gold has been a hedge against inflation and consumer driven stocks and commodities yet since oils recovery, it's been following the trend of oil prices. The first two seeks of July it broke free and gained about $30, but it's lost that gain over the past 48 hours. Any ideas? Alvie you've hit the crux of my question. When Market confidence declines investors historically have sought refuge in Gold. Granted it's become more consumer driven than in the past but even India, who is the largest consumer has seen price rises in the face of decreased consumption following the monsoons negative impact on the agro-economy. I don't understand Sandy's comment. Firstly, since China, India and some African companies are indicating economic growth we can't really call this a global crisis. (That's another issue.) US unemployment reports will impact the US economy and countries it influences. If China, India and developing countries turn to their domestic market, the US loses it's impact. And anyone who ignores trends, as illogical as they may be, is a fool. A wise investor may even bet against the market. That's one of Buffett's recipes. But thanks for the answer

Gold Historical Data? Need a link to gold historical daily prices. The farther it goes back the better. Right now I'm using the Spider GLD index, but would like something that goes back farther (e.g. before 2000). Looking for data I can put int a spreadsheet. Tried googling, but the search results are taken over by sites that are hawking gold. Not looking for a pre-made chart, but the underlying data that I can put into a spreadsheet. @ Azrael, Hoping to find a data set that doesn't require copy and pasting 40+ times from the link provided. Also, if anyone can find a data set that goes back to before great depression would be awesome. I'm not sure if daily prices exist going back that far or not.
Why isn't the dollar "as good as gold"? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119941453085566759.html?mod=googlenews_wsj There's an article in the Wall Street Journal that says if the dollar had been "as good as gold", oil would be the same price it was in 2001 - around $30 a barrel. It says the price of oil in gold stayed flat, but the price of oil in dollars increased about 350% - to about $100 a barrel (if you look at the chart). Why isn't the dollar "as good as gold"?
Where can I find online metal closing prices for the past year? Aluminum, Gold, Silver, Copper closing market prices for the past year. Not just small chart, but actual numbers. Note: That a chart that shows a fever line without actual numbers is no good.

Are there any historical options quotes/chains? The best I can do is to look at the current chain and see the move from the previous day, but that isn't good enough. Historical prices or preferably a chart would be gold. Is there anything like this out there? Thanks for your help!
how to create an Exchange Rate Chart in Excel? I'm trying to create a chart for an exchange rate between any 2 assets.

I have the 2 columns of price data for each commodity, but I don't know what to do with them! For some reason this should be really simple, but it's just not coming to me. Can someone enlighten me?

10 years ago when the DOW passed 10,000 for the first time, gold was at $280 and oil was at $16.44 per barrel? Now, gold is at $1059 and oil is at $74 per barrel. Does this suggest the recent 'rise' in the stock market exists only by using the devaluing dollar to price the market in, to begin with? And how can Obama spend like this: http://flutemandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/deficit-chart.jpg then say Friday that 'government must live within its means' yet again, while still pushing cap and trade and the health insurance cram down which will be hugely expensive? If you see this could you star it? It didn't post timely for some odd reason.

Profitable silver trade? I'm extremely bullish on both gold and silver, as well as many of the mining stocks. I've been in the game for quite a while, and I follow several related stocks: SVM, SLW, GG, EXK, GPL, PAAS, etc... Unfortunately, I was sitting on the sidelines when silver made this latest thrust towards the $40/oz mark, and I refused to chase it (after getting burned chasing stocks and commodities, you learn your lesson). Today it struck over $39.70/oz, and has been ranging up and down. I think there is a strong possibility of silver hitting between $45-50/oz before years end, so I remain bullish on the metal and miners. However, I have a trade idea here... Silver has been a bit volatile, and the small-cap mining stocks have been even more so -- lots of leverage trading focuses on these stocks and moves them harder than the actual metal prices. I've observed how this market works for quite a while... For instance, I remember when we were at $28/oz. Everyone said "Silver is going to hit $30 soon, but then it will run into a correction!"...plus, the bears were all out to pounce when that psychological level was reached. So as it played out, we broke the mark, saw a pullback, and then it surged back upward and found its new floor around $30. Then it was the elusive $32/oz mark, and the same thing happened...then $35, then $37, now it's creeping to $40. Every time a new psychologically critical price mark is established and broken, the metal has a little slump, and the big gains in miner stocks takes a pretty big wallop (but not totally stripping away gains -- the trend, in the longer-term, stays positive). One of the stocks I follow which is effected the most strongly is Endeavor Silver (EXK). It makes a big run along with silver, and then silver hits its resistance and the bears attack. The stock will go down 5-7% intra-day when the pullback comes. And this happens as soon as momentum dies down and silver prices dip under the line -- I guess the technicals trigger something in the bears' minds, and they tend to make a nice bit of money with it (if they get out before the next run!). So since I missed this big run in silver and EXK, I figured maybe I can play with the bears this time and put some extra cash towards the next run. So my idea is to wait until silver backs off a hair, and signals the bears to pounce while my fellow bulls take profits and prepare to buy again at a cheaper price. I think I can catch one of those big 5-7% intra-day dips in EXK and make a nice chunk of change. It's already had two massive runs this week with silver, which I feel were a bit over-the-top despite my bullish sentiment. But I wanted to know what you all thought of this idea. Take a look at silver price charts compared to EXK, and you'll see what I mean. I know I'm taking the risk of getting burned, but it's ok...I'm young, and I'm up for risks that come with reward incentives. So what do you think about this trade?
Why does God keep lying to Pat Robertson? In 1980 God apparently told Pat the world would end in 1982 - it didn't http://www.abhota.info/end3.htm In 2006 God apparently told Pat that the Pacific Northwest would be devasted by a major tsunami that year - it wasn't http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003004452_pat19.html In 2007 God apparently told Pat that there would be a massive terrorist attack resulting in "mass killings" on US soil that year - there wasn't. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16442877/ In 2008 God apparently told Pat there would be a recession (like anybody couldn't predict that after 6 out of 7 quarters of negative gross private investment growth) but that the stock market wouldn't crash until 2010 - the market crashed in mid to late 2008, assumedly taking all of Robertson's wealth with it. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,319728,00.html In Jan 2009 God told Robertson that gold would hit $1900/ounce and oil $300/barrel. Gold prices promptly fell from $980 in Feb to $870 by mid April. While it has recovered - 1900/ounce is still a long way off. Oil prices fell from a 2008 average of $91.48 to a 2009 average of $53.48. http://www.inflationdata.com/inflation/Inflation_Rate/Historical_Oil_Prices_Table.asp http://www.kitco.com/charts/historicalgold.html Now this leads me to conclude that either 1. God is a very mischevious and mean spirited prankster who for some reason focusses on Robertson as his dupe 2. Robertson is actually just a paranoid schizophrenic who hears voices, but due to his only massively inflated ego thinks those voices are God speaking directly to him. Which do you think? And do you think there is any chance Robertson can get God to tell him who'll win the Superbowl next year so I know who NOT to bet on?
Help purchasing tickets to The Ashes? I'm trying to purchase tickets to see England v. Australia in The Ashes at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Dec 29th. When I try to buy tickets, you can purchase Bronze, Silver, or Gold tickets for different prices. But these various tickets don't seem to correspond to the seating chart! I don't want to overpay if Bronze seats are pretty good, but I also don't want to buy Bronze if the Silver tickets (for just $10 more) are much better.
What do two Gap Downs in a month mean from a technical point of view? I purchased shares of GG when they Gapped Down on December 4th thinking that it was a good buying period because the charts are pointing upward. But there have been 2 Gap Downs this month. The first on Dec 4th and the second on Dec 17th. What does this mean from a technical standpoint? Is the stock heading down from here on out? Will I save myself alot of money if I dump all my Gold mining stocks? I have been dollar cost averaging this dip in Gold prices and if I hold onto it I am poised to make quite a bit of money on the deal if they do go back up.
What is the most expensive religious offence (monetary), can it beat 17 years of your income? In the small village of Deshnok in North Rajastan sits the only temple in India devoted to rat worship. Every day hundreds of worshippers of the Hindu goddess Shri Karniji make the long pilgrimage to this shrine. In her temple in Deshnok, rats are found in large numbers as they are believed to be the incarnation of the goddess. (nice picture of lots of rats being feed in the temple) http://www.markroques.com/rats.htm An old Hindu tradition required any person who stepped on a rat and killed it to give the rat's weight in gold and silver to the temple or endure bad karma forever. An average adult rat weighs 290g or 10.2oz, that amount of gold currently costs $11,434.20 (53% more than only 12 months ago, who says paper money's not in trouble). http://www.bullionvault.com/gold-price-chart.do That's 17 times the annual income of an average Indian at $663.00. Can any other religious offence cost you more (monetary) than 17 year's income?
The Long Rolling and the infaltionary State? Wrong view of the state? take a look and give your opinion? Log-Rolling. Given these two very different conceptions of the state, one favoring the welfare state and the other favoring a warfare state, why don't the visions cancel each other out? So intense is the desire of one group to have the state that it wants that it is willing to put up with another group's desire for its conception of the state. The two conceptions decide to cooperate and erect a state that purports to behave both like Solomon and like the Samaritan. That is the origin of the guns-and-butter state, or the welfare-warfare state, or the modern state as we know it, one that purports to meet every need. We see how this log-rolling works every day on Capitol Hill. One group wants more money for tanks and weaponry, and the other wants more for Medicaid and education. If both agree that politics is the art of compromise, they will put up with the other group's priorities in order that their own vision can be fulfilled. On the Right, we find that the love for the police power is more intense than the hatred of redistribution. On the Left, we find that the love of redistribution is more intense than the hatred of war and leviathan. They therefore work together to erect a massive and ever-growing executive. They are similarly unwilling to oppose the state in total. They fear that in doing so, the state as an institution will be discredited, and their conception of what the state should do along with it. Neither side particularly loves big government but both sides agree that it is better than the alternative of letting people alone. So they log-roll to support the public sector above all else, even when it means that they must sleep with their ostensible political enemies. Rationale Number Four: The Inflationary State. Now we come to the reason this system is able to perpetuate itself. And there is something of a mystery to explain here. No people anywhere will put up with a leviathan that grows and grows forever. At some point, the problem of funding state expansion will result in too much violence against property, and the people will revolt. Indeed, if the federal government had to collect all its revenue through a tax of any kind, leveled right now against the public, I submit to you that it would spark a tax revolt on a scale never before seen in modern history. Thus do we have the central bank to create money for the state. Thus do we have paper money that can be created in unlimited quantities. Thus do we have deposit insurance to make banks failure proof, so that the masses will never doubt that the credit pyramid is immortal. Thus do we have the Fed's power to manipulate interest rates and control the flow of credit to the system. An economist at Lehman Brothers sent us an interesting chart the other day. It compares the level of price increases across many Fed regimes. Under the first Fed governor Charles Hamlin, the dollar declined 8% in value. Under Thomas B. McCabe from the late forties, it declined 7.2%. Under Arthur Burns, wholly owned by Nixon, the dollar declined 42% in value. Under Volcker, Mr. Tight Money, it fell 40%. And under Greenspan, who has a reputation as a great inflation fighter, the value of the dollar in terms of goods and services fell fully 44%! Inflation serves the cause of the state by giving it room to run up debts without limit and fund its activities without making the people cough up more revenue. Indeed, that is the primary purpose of the inflationary state. People often say to me that a gold standard is impractical. In fact, that is not the case. It is very practical. It is the free-market answer. The state doesn't need to produce money any more than it needs to produce shoes or shirts or clocks. The problem is that we lack the political will to stop the inflation monster. Rationale Number Five: The Propaganda State. In every society control of educational institutions increases in tandem with the rise of the state. This is because the state needs these institutions to inculcate the civic religion of loving the public enterprise, and also because the less people know about the idea of liberty the more the state is provided the room to grow. Consider the Department of Education. Ever since its creation, every Republican administration has come to power with an intention to abolish it. But once they get in power, they find that bureaucracy has its uses. Instead of cutting or abolishing it, they increase the agency and give it more to do. The more the state does, the more the state sees the need to control public opinion by controlling the schools. Now, there is a point of optimism here. If any state could rule without propaganda, it would surely do so. Why then do states find educational control and the propagation of the civic religion in their interest? Because at some level, every state, in all times and places, is required to seek the tacit consent of those it governs. No state can control a society by use of the sword only and alone. It must also seek some degree of ideological conformity with its own goals. Otherwise its rule becomes threatened and destabilized. The other side of the coin is that states can indeed be destabilized by the ultimate counterrevolutionary tactic of providing alternative sources of education. As Mises said, all of history is a battle of ideas. Where the ideas of freedom are triumphant, liberty prevails. Where the ideas of freedom are buried and suppressed, despotism prevails. Our pathway is clear. It is a choice of the Mises Institute not to mix in the mire of a political system that is wholly owned or attempt to seek favor from influential opinion makers. Our path is one of education, pursued with high-minded ideals, advanced using the most modern methods, and animated by the spirit of guerilla warfare. There are Misesians and Rothbardians strewn throughout the academic world, financial and banking houses, law firms, and in every walk of life, not only in this country but all over the world. We have worked for nearly a quarter of a century on a very radical project of advancing economic science and logic. We have pushed to keep the fire of freedom burning brightly. We have sought to teach anyone and everyone about the workings and benefits of liberty. We have come under pressure from left, right, and center. Yet the attention given to this body of ideas grows by the day. We can prevail against the Propaganda State. So long as we are free to do so and have the means available, we will continue to do so. This is our weapon against power. It is the most effective weapon anyone could ever possess. If we win this victory, we win all others. We thank you for supporting education for liberty, and for being part of the revolutionary vanguard that sees through the errors of our day and imagines a brighter future of freedom, private property, and peace. : Mises Institute
Should I Keep My Rune (g) Armour? From looking at the chart on http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/Rune_gold-trimmed_armour_set_(l)/viewitem.ws?obj=11898&scale=2 I can see the price will be rising everyday. My question is, should I sell it just in case it suddenly decreases or just keep it to make a profit? I bought the armor as 1.94m several weeks ago.
Ron Paul's ABC Debate answer on gas prices? Did anyone else find Ron Paul's answer to the question about gias prices during the ABC debate astonishing? If you missed it, he merely quoted a chart in the Wall Street Journal that showed how gas prices in ... the US dollar has gone up 350% in the past 10 years, the Euro has gone up 200% in the past 10 years, Gold has stayed the same in the last ten years. So if our dollar were backed with gold like Ron Paul suggests, then gas prices would have remained the same. I found this astonishing.
