3. Available Supply of Gold Declining: Secure Your Personal Gold Reserves Now
The facts can’t be denied: China is on the hunt for gold deposits and mines.

7. The Reason Gold Has Been Declining Is Simply This…
There have been many motives offered for the recent and ongoing plunge in gold and silver prices since the start of October from sentiment to a supposed trade against the Euro, etc, etc. but the true reason is a lot more prosaic. It’s old fashioned liquidation. Let me explain. Words: 257
