I'm not going to predict a speedy recovery for gold prices. That said, I continue to believe that gold offers investors safety in an uncertain world and, while I remain optimistic about the recovery of the U.S. economy and stellar financial performance of some companies, there is reason for concern on a global level. That's why I think every investor...must own gold.

What will the future top prices for physical gold and silver be? Naturally, no one knows for sure but many analysts have developed interesting models and scenarios as to what the future holds and this article reviews 3 such analyses for your consideration.

The process of the devaluation of gold and silver, started by the demonetization of gold and silver, is about to reverse at a greater speed than ever before.

It is our belief that this is by far the most comprehensive report yet.

Charts capture the essence of timing so lacking in fundamentals providing information on how, (long or short), and when to enter, and at what price. Charts allow you to actually see how the markets are developing into trading opportunities, as well as when to avoid committing money.

With international reserves in virtual free-fall, the black market peso rate plunging, and no sign for months that President Kirchner has any appreciation at all of the gravity of the situation, the country is in the advanced stages of another financial panic/meltdown. This will end badly, another chapter in the long history of Argentine financial crises extending back almost 100 years.
