James Naismith of Almonte, Ontario invented basketball in 1891...to keep athletes active during the cold winter months while teaching physical education at the International Young Men’s Christian Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. To celebrate that occasion, the Royal Canadian Mint is now selling a colourized coin with a convex reverse side to depict the likeness of a basketball.

Our analysis maintains that the burgeoning move in gold may well exceed earlier surges. The circumstances driving gold in the 1970’s were primarily centered on the U.S. but the issues facing us today are global in nature and have embarked gold prices on a journey that could result in $7,500 and even $10,000+ per troy ounce.

In June, Incrementum AG published its annual “In Gold We Trust” report which offers many interesting insights into the current global economy and the gold market. This article provides a short summary for you.

While the world gets bogged down in a financial quagmire, created solely by the globalists but to be suffered by the masses, those with gold and silver will fare best during the worst of what is to come - and the gold and silver markets are sending a clear message as outlined in the charts below.

Alan Greenspan, the former Chairman of the Federal Reserve has warned that Brexit was a “terrible outcome in all respects” and that we are in the “early days of a crisis.”

In my experience, the cup and handle chart pattern is one of the most reliable charts out there. It is a continuation/consolidation pattern that occurs after a large uptrend. This pattern is most reliable when it forms after a run of approximately 30%.

The following infographic shows 21 incredible uses for silver. Many of them may be surprising or seemingly “oddball”, but it really speaks to the impressive versatility of the metal.

Brexit is a return to inefficiency and trade wars and will spike inflation throughout the whole world. It will trigger a rise in unemployment mainly in Europe, but will also hurt the rest of the world through contagion. [Let me explain further.]

We just needed one major negative catalyst to bring the markets down and we got that in the Brexit. Obviously with the process for the UK to exit the EU possibly taking over two years of negotiating to actually happen, this will be a constant weight on the markets in Europe and on U.S. multinationals doing business there. Those who are in a high percentage of cash right now will be shooting fish in a barrel when this all gets played out.

If gold does take continued strength on Brexit and other global uncertainties, the lack of future supply is going to be an issue coming squarely into focus and — like we saw during the last gold boom of 2006 to 2008 — gold exploration properties will suddenly be a hot commodity.
