When you're in the funhouse, you have to continually remind yourself that nothing is real. The hall of mirrors is not the place to run full speed - even if it looks like your path is clear.

I'd like to point out a commodity trend that simply doesn't make any sense.

A mega-merger between Xstrata and Glencore International could make waves in the global commodities market.

The biggest copper miner in the world is actually one of my favorite blue chip commodity stocks, and it's on sale again.

Hopefully you're well aware of the main reason that I prefer to buy physical silver - but here it is again...

The most notable holdout in my office is an ex-Wall Street options trader by the name of Andy Crowder.

Instead of selling at low prices, a few successful mid-tier silver miner companies are deciding to hold on to silver for a better future price. 

Europe is smoldering like a fine cigar. It will take a while to burn to the end, but make no mistake, the whole Eurozone is burning.

In 2011, for the first time ever, more corn was made into ethanol than consumed as food (for humans) or feed (for animals) in the United States.

Today, the price of natural gas is as low as it's been since the middle of 2009, so what should you do?

Precious metals are all strong buys, but which precious metal should you buy today?

I've been working on a special project for WyattResearch.com readers - something that will give you access to some of our "expensive" commodity research for much less than usual.

The mainstream media is absolutely frothing at the mouth about the latest energy news to come out about the United States.

The commodity bull market will end. All bull markets end. And when it does end, it will be replaced by another bull market - probably in stocks.

Gold ended 2011 10% higher, but another asset surprisingly outpaced gold by nearly double last year... and it's one of the most universally hated investments - at least for commodity investors.

Being a bond investor should be the end-goal for anyone running any portion of their own money.

Under most circumstances, you should strive to condition yourself to seek out hated, cheap investments.

I've recently noticed some news about gold I didn't think I'd see this year, let alone the next few years.

I've long been a proponent of timber as an asset class because it's basically the best of both worlds as an investment.

I've already shot all of my currently available capital on this precious metal investment, and of course, it's fallen even lower from my initial buy price.

If you're asking yourself if you should also be selling, you should think about the people who are selling right now...

The euro has fallen sharply lower by 3% this week, which has corresponded to a similar rise in the dollar. The rise from the dollar brought havoc to the commodities and stock market alike.

Now is the time when precious metals investors will need to do the most important thing to ensure that they can profit over the long term.

The best deal in the commodity markets today currently yields a Treasury-beating 2.1% dividend... but it's so hated right now that very few people will buy today.

I'm long most commodities - notably gold, silver, oil, natural gas, coal and agriculture - but that's not the part of my investment strategy that makes people call me an idiot.

Are you familiar with Warren Buffett's recent diatribes against gold, specifically this quote which compares gold to other assets...?

Gold goes "on sale" a couple times each year at most - and each time it goes on sale, it's a no-brainer buying opportunity.

This natural gas company has very little debt and has producing wells throughout North America.

I don't know when I'll sell my gold for sure, but I know what I'll be looking to buy when I do.

In the world of investing, information isn't just vital - it's a weapon.. and if you wield the weapon effectively, you win. You make money. You profit.

I don't go short metals. I don't use commodity futures. I only go LONG metals - which means that I'm typically buying one metal instead of another.

If you don't understand what the bear is, what it wants or how it gets what it wants, you will get eaten by the bear.

I've done some research on platinum and found that - as with silver - much of the world's mined platinum gets consumed by industry.

Now is the best time to buy gold.

There are lots of reasons to sell an investment. Most of them probably have nothing to do with the quality of the underlying asset you bought in the first place or whether you believe it will go up or down.

Today, I'd like to provide some useful perspective as I take another look at what I had to say about silver exactly one year ago.

I'm putting in a Good-til-Cancelled bid at $155 a share on this precious metal ETF.

So when I refer to an uninflatable asset, I'm referring to commodities. I'm also making up a word. It's not in the dictionary.

Putting your money in a company that explores for or mines rare earth is a speculation-only venture by any definition of the word.

I'm not heavily invested in copper for the very reason that copper prices tend to rise in line with the stock market. But copper can tell us something about one of the assets I am interested in: silver.

Chinese coal company Puda Coal (PUDA.PK) has fallen to 50 cents a share on suspicion that its Chairman (Ming Zhao) has sold American shareholders down the river, in so many words.

The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world that he doesn't exist. And the biggest mistake an investor can make is to underestimate risk in any asset class.

We're at an important crossroads for this bull market in commodities where even the most fearless bulls are tempted to give up - to sell out of their positions and consider themselves lucky that they were able to be along for the ride - and to escape with any profits at all.

I have been told the way that Mongolian politics works is thus: there are 79 member of the Mongolian parliament, which means there are 79 Parties.

I've asked my friend George Stubos, an expert energy and commodity investor to shed some light on something that I'm not quite up to speed on just yet: Mongolia.

I'm not saying all precious metals ETFs are baloney, I'm just telling you that I have a strong preference to keep my gold and silver close and secure.

If you put just $1,000 into the gold royalty company Royal Gold (Nasdaq: RGLD) in 1992, you'd be sitting on over $2 million in profits.
