No one is sure where our market is going. Not even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

This Friday, Bernanke gave a small boost to the market by vowing to do whatever it takes to revive the shaky economy. He reassured Wall Street that the central bank will act if "unexpected developments" cause the recovery to falter. This brought the Dow back above 10,000.

Everyone needs to eat. So while the light continues to shine on oil and gold, this past week gave centre stage to food.

In past issues of Equedia Weekly, we said this year would be the year for takeovers and mergers. The year is far from over and already we have seen some incredible takeover bids and battles. Just this past week, we witnessed yet another billion dollar deal: the...

It seems that every week, the market brings us more controversy. First, it was the flash crash and market manipulation. Then it was the infamous BP oil spill. Now, governments around the world are threatening to ban Blackberry services because they can't spy on its users...

It's been a very short summer. And in a few short weeks, the rest and quiet will all be over. But it hasn't been quiet for everyone. A company in our most recent Special Edition Report has hit yet another 52-week high. More on this story later.

Is everyone ready to get back into the market?

There's no denying that China has become a country of serious power. With that power, comes worldwide consequences for all of her actions.

Wow. It's amazing how the summer heat really gets to everyone. Brokers, analysts, and fund managers all seem to be taking a break. I don't blame them. After the turbulent ride we've experienced, we all deserve a great summer.

Last week (see The Catch 22), we talked about unemployment numbers and how corporations are still extremely cautious on hiring and spending. The amount of...

Last week was a wonderful and well deserved break for all of us. After the chaos we experienced over the last few years, it's nice to finally feel a little more at ease.

But that doesn't mean that the markets are stable. As a matter of fact, the world economy is still in a very volatile space. The only difference this time around is that we've heard it all before. From market...

We're heading into the doldrums. Volume in the markets is extremely light and the world is taking an early vacation. Next week, we're heading into double holidays, with both the 4th of July and Canada Day*. Luckily for all of us still in the markets, the less people are watching the economic numbers, the better.

Summer is here. The markets are still undecided on whether to climb, fall, or sit still. So while the market takes its vacation, both gold and silver haven't taken a break. Gold is now on a nine-week win streak and silver is up over $19.

If prices continue to hold at these levels for another year, many of us who are invested in precious metals miners and explorers may finally...

Many silver stocks have increased dramatically since the beginning of this year. As a matter of fact, one company featured in our past Special Report Edition increased almost 100% in just two short months.
