| Beware of Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) Bearing Gold |
| Gold is unique among asset classes as it is the only asset class not dependent on the performance of auditors, management, corporations, financial institutions, banks, politicians and governments. Nor should physical gold be dependent on the performance of trustees, custodians and or sub custodians.Monday, May 18, 2020 |

| Why gold has a role in every portfolio |
| Some investors are averse to gold because, as Warren Buffett argues, it is an unproductive asset. Whereas equities and property can be useful and provide a return, gold “doesn’t do anything but sit there” and consequently has little inherent value, from Buffett’s point of view. The World Gold Council, however, says investment demand for gold exceeded 1,500 tonnes in 2016. As well as being the second-best year on record for inflows to gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), sales of coins and bars alsWednesday, December 13, 2017 |

| Analyzing the Mainstream Analysts: Are SLV Holdings Really Plummeting |
| (By Jeff Clark – GoldSilver)
It was a headline designed for shock value. The title screamed, Investors Dumping SLV at Fastest Pace in 6 Years!
The headline came from Bloomberg, the epitome of “mainstream” news in my opinion. The article reported that investors were “dumping” holdings in SLV, the largest silver exchange-traded fund. They claimed the silver market had been “hit by a gale force, spurring an exit from ETFs backed by the metal.”

| USAGold's Mike Kosares writes today that gold is rising not just in lesser currencies around the world but in terms of the U.S. dollar as well, for the first time since the Gold Currency Index was created in 1997.
Kosares writes: "Though it is difficult to trace the source of this divergence directly to international funds and institutions, we can see their footprints in the sand -- the circumstantial evidence as reflected in the strong growth of bellwether exchange-traded fund inventories.

| Gold Investment Resuming |
| Gold
has surged dramatically to major breakouts since its usual
summer-doldrums lows. That’s naturally rekindled interest in this
leading alternative investment, despite the record-high stock
markets. Investors are starting to return to gold again to
prudently diversify their stock-heavy portfolios. That’s very
bullish for gold, as investment capital inflows can persist for
months or even years. This shift is most evident in GLD.

| Gold’s future confiscation is a growing reality, as currency confidence slides! |
| Article – Part 5The subject of gold’s confiscation has come onto our screens again, but this time, being described as a “Myth” in the future. This thought comes from Canada, a favorite place for U.S. citizens to store their gold in the hopes that it will be outside the reach of the U.S. Federal Reserve. We respond to the article that described it as a myth, because we are firmly of the opinion that as we move from dollar hegemony to a multi currency, world currencies will find themselves competiThursday, August 3, 2017 |

| Ronan Manly: Little transparency in LBMA's London vault report |
| This week's report by the London Bullion Market Association about the gold and silver held in London-area vaults brings little transparency to the issue and even contradicts itself, gold researcher Ronan Manly writes today.
