I certainly don't have to reveal my suppliers. Some would say I'm crazy to do so. In one sense, the names of my suppliers are like a kind of "natural informational monopoly", and that without access to my suppliers, my customers have to order from me. But I want to reveal my suppliers, and this is not the first time I have done so. Full Story

In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, geologist Joseph M. Foster—a Van Eck Associates portfolio manager who also leads its International Investors Gold Fund—sees nothing but good news for gold in the months and years to come. Joe isn’t holding his breath for mania to set in, but he does see a mix blending that will get gold “firing on all cylinders.” Once a declining dollar, increasing inflation and an improving economy fill the combustion chamber, all it will take is a sustained spark of optimism for gold to forge ahead.

Today is Friday the 13th: according to superstition, either a day of good luck or bad luck. It occurs at least once a year. The fear of Friday the 13th is a form of triskaidekaphobia, which is a phobia of the number 13. This year it has occurred in February and March and will occur again in November. Full Story

This week, with his pronouncement that "credit is the lifeblood of a healthy economy," President Obama reiterated what has been one of his most common themes in diagnosing our economic problem. The president has relied on this bedrock belief to propose policies that place the restoration of credit as the highest priority. However, despite his seemingly earnest intentions, the president and his economic advisors have misdiagnosed the ailment. Savings, not credit, is the lifeblood of a healthy economy. When not used properly credit can be like a cancer that sickens an otherwise healthy economy. Full Story

This past Tuesday, the flagship S&P 500 stock index (SPX) surged 6.4% in its biggest daily rally since rocketing out of its panic low in late November. Gold, which was flat that morning, suffered increasing selling pressure as the day marched on. As the SPX strengthened, gold weakened in an inverse linear fashion. It ultimately fell 2.6% that day, sliding under $900 for the first time in a month. Full Story

This Act follows FDR's March 5, 1933 chat on the "Banking Crisis", and effectively proves our president to be a liar and a thief. Interesting, too, that the gold is to be turned in to the privately-owned Federal Reserve Banks. James Turk furnishes an excellent analysis including the amount of gold actually surrendered by Americans. Full Story

The consensus I tend to read amongst market commentators is that when this market bottoms, it will be a V shaped affair. Now I mainly write on precious metals but it will be foolhardy to presume that the fortunes of these two separate assets classes are not linked in some way. After all, if money is flowing back into the stock market, that means there is less money to flow into other asset classes such as gold and silver bullion products. Full Story
In the spring of 2008 oil tumbled from a high of $148 per barrel to $36 a barrel in December, and the commodities bubble was deemed popped. Gold dropped, silver fell roughly 58% from its high and palladium fell a remarkable 72% etc. But was this the result of a commodities bubble popping or could it possibly have been a credit bubble burst which happened to dramatically affect the price of commodities? This is important to understand in order for investors to determine where value is for future growth. Full Story

The controversy surrounding the gold and silver ETFs continues and there are proponents both for and against the GLD and SLV. In an effort to remain consistent personally, my original “take” on the silver ETF remains, which is to state that any “investment” involving silver would have an overall positive effect because it would draw more and more attention to both professional and private investors that indeed silver is not only a worthwhile investment but also has all the monetary qualities of gold and has an industrial component that will remain, under any economic conditions.

I don’t know if you are aware but there is a concerted effort right now to take delivery of futures contracts because a lot of people believe that the price is being held down in the paper market they believe that if you can take 50% of the gold away from the Comex then the price will be closer to what you are paying for physical today. Do you know anything about that? Full Story
Dialing back to the micro subject of this post, understand two things... 1) Oil is still in the bottoming process. It is a classic looking bottom with a higher low, bullish divergence, a break above resistive moving averages and in the last two days, a healthy looking back test of those averages (EMA 20 and SMA 50). 2) This is A bottom, not necessarily THE bottom.

Gold bullion and Crude Oil are both setting up for a rally higher if they continue to complete the breakouts.

Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Right now, investors and traders are getting ready for it to rhyme again. Earlier this week, the government felt the stock market was getting a bit too low again. Our great leaders delved into their ever-shrinking bag of tricks and pulled two of them out. In the process, they sparked the strongest rally since last summer when they stepped in. Full Story
There is no doubt about it, the super rich running things already have so much money one must wonder if money alone was the reason for the implementation of the 2007-2009 market falls. Thus, could the motivation be something else, as Peter allows--like maybe the super rich quest for more power in perhaps a coming world government. Almost for sure, this has to be one of the compelling motivations for the plutocrat strike in 2007-2009. Full Story

The Masters of the Universe have lost control. The stock market, which had held up for so long has not only broken 7,268 as we forecast, but we broke 6,600 easily this past week. Economists, analysts and newsletter writers still do not get it. Stockbrokers are telling clients you do not have losses until you take them. What do they say when the Dow breaks 4,000? Full Story
Unfortunately, the massive changes currently underway in society (as an old system dies and a new one, idealistic yet virulent and dangerous, driven by extreme dissatisfaction with the betrayals of the dying system, takes its place) demand that we, as investment survivalists, take into account these changes, weigh and analyze their potential global effects, and act accordingly. This is ultimately just business after all. It is the business of defining and adapting to a ‘new normalcy’. Full Story

Stocks in the United States have lost $11 trillion in value – more than cut in half – without a single major bounce. We expected one after Obama was elected. All we got was a 15% ricochet. Then, after he announced his major stimulus/bailout/boondoggle program…we thought, surely, stocks would rally then. Nope. Instead, globally, stocks are down 20% since Obama office. Full Story
In lieu of globe-trotting advisors bearing deus ex machina solutions, each national government is left trying both to recapitalize its banks and also defend its cash savers. Trouble is, each government's funds are precisely limited to the cash inside its own borders. We, the people, are indeed the state, and you can only tax or rip off the savers for so long before all their money is spent. But everyone else is now stuck in the same fast-sinking boat too, so there's no one stood ready to bail us all out. Full Story

Gold and silver are easy to buy and equally easy to sell. There are three ways to buy metals. First, you can use your savings or checkbook balance. Or you can roll over your existing IRA accounts into a new IRA funded with gold or silver that is stored for you in your name. When the time comes to make a distribution, you can ask for the physical gold or silver or you can ask for cash. Simple! The third way to buy gold is to sell another asset to fund the purchase. Stocks is a good place to start, and I'll get into that subject in a bit. Full Story
On the same day that his successor signaled dramatic policy changes that would see the Federal Reserve "take away the punchbowl" before inflating yet another asset bubble, radically altering the way financial market regulators operate in the process, former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan was readying yet another in a long series of op-ed pieces aimed at defending his legacy.

It took the onset of World War II to lift the world out of the Great Depression that began in 1929. Ignore the historical hyperbole that claim Roosevelt’s “New Deal” had anything to do with it.

The Goldsmiths, Part XXXXVI, briefly touched upon the primary fall-out of the vast transfers of trillions of dollars from the US Treasury and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank to the huge international banks on the guise that they are too big to be allowed to suffer or go broke.

We'd forecast a $35 drop in Comex April Gold, to around $881-$885, and the futures got about 60% of the way there with Tuesday's selloff. That's about as bad as we can see for now, although we'd need to take another look if the selling takes the futures below 875.70 by week's end. At $881, though, Gold will have fallen 12.5 percent from its recent high near $1007. That's the kind of selling we should like to see: Full Story

Let’s start with the basics. Do we all understand the difference between the real value of tangible assets versus notional value of paper assets? Tangible assets have a limited quantity (think: Supply) and utility (think: Demand). Paper assets, on the other hand, have an un-limited quantity (because there is no limitation to how much you can create) and marginal utility (because demand for them goes negative once they begin to default).

One of the most disturbing aspects of the current financial crisis is not just white-collar crime, but the lack of a cohesive reaction to it by law-enforcement and regulatory authorities.

When the gold price rose to $1000 in late February there was naturally a lot of enthusiasm about this market's prospects, which, combined with the almost uninterrupted $200 rise over the preceding five weeks, paved the way for a downward correction. The gold price then fell for eight trading days in a row, with the eighth down day being last Wednesday. The stage was thus set for a rebound, but as noted in last week's Interim Update the fact that the 8-day decline had barely put a dent in bullish sentiment suggested that the overall correction from the February high had not yet run its course.

If he does, he can reshape the agenda. Hoping for the best is foolish. He should expect the worst and act accordingly.” Full Story

I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it looked like the earnings of the S&P Industrials Index went down last week, plummeting to $65.86 from $85.90 the week before, all of which probably explains why the Wall Street Journal reports that railroads “have seen shipping volumes drop by double-digit percentages in recent months”, and that “the nation’s five largest railroads have put more than 30% of their boxcars – 206,000 in all – into storage.” Yikes! A third less volume! Full Story

It appears that gold is ready to go very high very fast, as measured in all currencies of the world. It seems that gold is in the process of completing the mega cup and handle pattern that started to form in 1980 when gold was at about US $850. The interesting part is the fact that it seems that we are in the final phase which should take us to about US $1,300 (about R 14 000) and eventually to about US $1,700 (about R 18 760) in a very short time relative to the 29 years since 1980.
