If you want to make rabbit stew, first, you have to catch the rabbit so hopefully, first, we'll see some concrete signs that a bottom is in before the regurgitation of “Gold is going to $10,000!” starts showing up in a host of new articles pandering for attention. The best way is to decide for yourself...so let us go to the most reliable source, the market, and see what the prices of gold and silver have to say about what everyone else has been saying about them. People have been known to exaggerate, even lie in their “opinions,” but the market never does either.

Not one Precious Metals guru has gotten anything right in the last 18 months. All have been calling for considerably higher prices. Over the past several months none called for sub-$1,300 gold and sub-$20 silver. Crystal balls do not work and never have. When it comes to markets, anything can happen [but the charts convey that] there is no apparent ending action suggesting a selling climax or even a cause for a reaction rally. Take a look.

...An offer of employment from the European Central Bank has inspired me to put down the bottle, battle the delirium tremens (DTs), and put pen to paper, (or, I guess, finger to keyboard) to expose a shocking and effective coup d’état that is overwhelming our global governments, our global economy and our way of life. Please consider my commentary extremely confidential and don't share it with anyone, particularly with anyone under 30. Read on. You'll understand why.

Gold investors are becoming ‘roadkill’ as our current economic structure completes its metamorphosis from a capitalist system within a democratic government into an ‘idiotocracy’.

You have no doubt read countless articles on the price of gold costing x dollars per “troy ounce" or perhaps just x dollars per “ounce” but the difference between the two measurements is significant. For that matter, what’s the difference between a 24 karat gold ring and an 18 karat gold ring? Let me explain.

A vicious upward debt spiral is gaining momentum. The budgets of most advanced economies, excluding interest payments, need 20 consecutive years of surpluses exceeding 2% of gross domestic product – starting now – just to bring the debt-to-GDP ratio back to its pre-crisis level.

Believe it or not, what follows is a speech by Gustavo Laframboise-Pierre, the Global Director of Statistical Creation at the European Central Bank, at a top secret meeting of the world’s central bankers held at the United States Bullion Depository (AKA Fort Knox) last week. It provides considerable inside insight into what is now happening to the price of gold.

Wealth preservation and insurance against imploding assets and all the risks around the world means owning gold. Gold is the ultimate protection against this Great Financial Catastrophe. It is not just a must to hold physical gold. It is how and where it is held that is absolutely critical.

...It’s a confusing world out there. Some say gold is going to $700 (and they might be right, temporarily), and others say gold will shoot to $10,000 (and they might be right, temporarily). I’m in the middle and, when I tell you why, I hope you see the wisdom of why you should join me there, too.

We are at the beginning of a major shift out of paper assets into real assets and the more I studied the merits of owning gold and silver the more I realized that silver was the smart decision. Let me explain.
