03.19.10- Are We Still on the Road to $5,000 Gold?
Peter Cooper

Is a decade of rising gold prices already over? Or are we on ‘The Road to $5,000 Gold’ as my new book published on Amazon.com this week maintains.

Last month George Soros was revealed as the latest convert to the gold camp with a substantial hoard of gold related assets. The news followed his remarks about gold being the ‘ultimate bubble’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos that were widely misunderstood as making him a seller. Read More

 
 
 
 

03.18.10- Idaho's plan to downgrade the dollar
Andrew Leonard

A bill to allow citizens to pay their taxes with silver medallions gains support. Goldbugs are watching closely.

With only one state representative dissenting, the Idaho House State Affairs committee voted on Monday to endorse HB 633, a bill that would allow Idaho citizens to pay their state taxes with an official state silver medallion.

The news comes just a month after a South Carolina legislator introduced a bill seeking to ban Federal currency altogether, and replace the upstart greenback with gold or silver coins. A half-dozen other states have considered similar legislation, reports the Tenth Amendment Center. Read More

 
 
 
 

03.17.10- Where Silver Is Headed
Josh Lipton

It might be referred to as "poor man’s gold" but a lot of investors are betting silver could make them rich.

Silver has shined in the past few weeks. The metal settled last Friday at $17.065 an ounce. That’s up 16.56% since its February 5 low of $14.64, according to Bloomberg data.

The precious metal retains dual attractions to investors, says Jeffrey Christian, the managing director at CPM Group: "Silver is a financial hedge like gold," he tells us, "but it is also an industrial play."

03.16.10- Through a Looking Glass Darkly
Aubie Baltin CFA, CTA, CFP, PhD.

"We are spending more money than we have ever spent before, and it does not work. After eight years, we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot." -US Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, May, 1939

I forget who first said it, but it was, "A $ million here a $ million there, pretty soon we are talking about real money." It took approximately 20 years before it became "A $ billion here a $ billion there.." and it wasn't very long before "A $ billion "became "A $100 billion" Now, virtually overnight while no one was watching, it's become "A $ trillion here a $ trillion there" Are we still talking about real money? And are we still not looking? We are certainly not trying to do anything about it.

03.15.10- Answering the Skeptics
Ted Butler

Recently, I was contacted by a reporter for the Financial Times of London. He was looking to write a story about the CFTC's upcoming hearing on precious metals. I could tell in my conversations with him that he was skeptical about my claims of a downward manipulation in the price of silver. As a result, the story he wrote reflected his skepticism, which was rooted in how could such a manipulation exist for as long as I alleged and how could silver be manipulated if it doubled in price over the past five years?

I understand the reporter's skepticism and recognize that it is prevalent among those who have not taken the time to study the circumstances in silver. Read More

 
 
 
 

03.13.10- China wants to lord over gold and forex markets
David Lew

Gold is making news in China these days. China’s aggressive attempt to build up gold reserves has been the talk of the bullion world in the last few months. Especially, ever since India bought 200 tonnes of gold from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last year, there has been speculation that the Chinese central bank would be the next to purchase the remaining IMF gold.

Now that the IMF has announced the sale of 191 tonnes of gold, there has been lots of rumours and speculation running thick around the world that China is all set to buy gold from IMF. China, in fact, is moving very cleverly. The country’s strategy is not just in buying more gold and mopping up the yellow metal reserves. China also wants to ensure that the country defeats the US dollar dominance and the Chinese currency - Yuan - emerges as the next reserve currency of the world.

03.12.10- Silver in the Next Decade
David Morgan

"Silver is the best technology stock you can own." - David Morgan

As some of you know, I have finished a new seminar recently that I have only presented one time. This presentation focused on what is expected in the silver market for the next decade. Frankly, when beginning this study I was not really certain what conclusions could be determined about the future of the silver market. The main thinking was that the investment demand for silver would drive the price far higher than present and this is in fact the case as we go through this report. But it was also determined that silver's unique properties will be in higher and higher industrial demand over the next decade as well. Read More

 
 
 
 

03.11.10- Days Not to Buy Gold Identified
Patrick A. Heller

Despite the fact that the price of gold rose more in the previous decade than almost all U.S. paper assets, the rise has no short rapid spurts. Actually, the market action that limits gold from breaking upward is just one more bit of evidence of the manipulation of gold prices.

Savvy analysts have long noted that as the price of gold might trend upward during daily trading, it has almost never increased by more than 2 percent from the previous day's COMEX close. Once the price of gold might increase by 2 percent, that event would almost automatically trigger a round of sell orders to either cap the rise or even cause the price to retreat. Even if buyers stepped up their purchasing, it was obvious that a maximum of a 2 percent daily increase at the COMEX close was the unpublicized "rule" imposed by the U.S. government and its trading partners.

03.10.10- China Cannot Afford to Buy Gold
Peter Souleles B. Com. LLB.

1Putting Things in Perspective

China has 1,054 tonnes of gold. So what? With a population of 1,336,260,000 people, that equates to 0.78 grams per person. You need three times that amount for just one wedding band. Just to give you an idea of how ridiculous their holding is, it should be pointed out that debt ravaged Greece with its 112.4 tonnes has the equivalent of 9.98 grams per person or 12.79 times more than China. In fact China would have to buy an additional 12,282 tonnes of gold just to match a bankrupt Greece. The market value of this additional purchase would be over $440 billion. If China wanted to match the USA on a per capita basis (presuming there is any gold in Fort Knox) it would have to purchase over 34,000 tonnes and pay over $1.2 trillion. Read More

 
 
 
 

03.09.10- Warning Of A Gold Super Spike
Janet Tavakoli

"Congress Must Act Immediately To Abolish Credit Default Swaps On The United States"

Congress should act immediately to abolish credit default swaps on the United States, because these derivatives will foment distortions in global currencies and gold. Failure to act now will only mean the U.S. will be forced to act after these "financial weapons of mass destruction" levy heavy casualties. These obligations now settle in euros, but the end game is to settle them in gold. This is so ripe for speculative manipulation that you might as well cover the U.S. map with a bull's-eye.

03.08.10- Time for Silver to Shine?
The Sovereign Society

Universally regarded as a "poor man’s gold," silver is at the cusp of a major secular rally that will outpace gold prices as the next leg of the bull market takes hold in 2010-2011.

Adjusted for inflation since 1980, silver prices should be trading at roughly $128 an ounce. But massive manipulation from four major short-sellers, including J.P. Morgan (JPM), has placed enormous pressure on silver over the last several months even as investment demand soars - mainly from booming coin sales and ETFs, or exchange-traded funds.

03.06.10- Silver is the best investment in the world
Roger Mason

(Editor's Note: Here is an enlightening rant from a web site called economicrant.com. Mr. Mason's message is "terse but true", and is more than worthy of your consideration. - JSB)

One cannot pick tops and bottoms and short term forecasting is for fools. Nevertheless, one has to do their best to see overall bottoms and tops. We feel silver has bottomed at the $16 level and it's time to back up the truck. It just does not matter if you buy silver at $14, $16, or even $18 when it goes to $200 and keeps going. Silver is the best investment in the world. Buy bullion and store it yourself. Do NOT buy paper silver of any kind, or let anyone store it for you. Why aren't we recommending silver stocks anymore? They are a fantastic bargain, and the HUI is currently only about 400. Read More
 
 
 
 

03.05.10- Penny Mining Shares,
U.S. Dollar and Gold

Dudley Pierce Baker

Penny mining shares are poised for incredible gains in the next 12 - 18 months. But before we discuss the details we believe it is necessary to lay a foundation with a brief discussion of the U.S. Dollar and gold.

Seems the world is fixated on the U.S. Dollar and many see it going substantially higher. In our opinion, the charts do not support that conclusion and we see the dollar having topped out and now heading lower. Read More
