Chapter 2: Silver ETFs: Do Your Homework  |
| ETFs such as SLV and GLD have garnered their share of buzz the past few years. In Chapter 2 of our "Guide to Silver Investing" David Morgan points out some of the pitfalls of the silver ETF. Don't think you're actually buying the metal. It's a lot more complicated than that, and carries more risk. Read on…Thursday, January 28, 2021 |

 Opening the mint to gold and silver - then and now  |
| Some people think that one of the fundamental institutions of the 19th century should be restored; I will single out Great Britain as the great leader embracing this institution.
This institution was the free minting of gold practiced by Great Britain in its heyday of growth, world economic and financial power. Under this system, any owner of gold bullion could take his bullion to the Royal Mint and have it minted into coins containing the same amount of gold as provided to the Mint by the owner of the bullion delivered. This was done at no cost to the owner of bullion as a government service to the economy.Saturday, September 5, 2020 |

| Above-ground Gold Stock - How Much Is There and Why Does it Matter |
| To understand the price of gold, the relevant supply is the total supply, not the new supply coming to market during the last year, week or month. The supply of gold consists of all of the supply that exists, and the relevant demand is the total demand, not the new demand coming to market during any year. For gold, there is always a large stockpile, and it never gets smaller. The vast majority of all the gold mined throughout human history still exists and is held either in bars, coins, or jewelTuesday, September 1, 2020 |

| The Ghost of Fort Knox Past: Part 3 |
| We’ve been looking into an extremely complex and controversial issue over the past two weeks. Does Ft. Knox contain the historical gold it claims? Gold no longer backs our circulating money. Still, those who hold fiduciary responsibilities to safeguard our gold are the ones who actually do issue our money. If you can’t trust them with the gold, how can you trust them with the money?Saturday, May 30, 2020 |

The Myth of the Gold Supply Deficit  |
| Analyses based on annual supply and demand of gold appear on a daily basis, whether posted to gold web sites or in the financial media, many of them by the most respected analysts of gold mining shares. These articles typically show an imbalance between supply and demand, suggesting that there is a gold supply deficit. From there, the conclusion follows that a much higher gold price is required in order to bring supply and demand into balance.Friday, March 27, 2020 |

| With real rates staying negative, this may be gold's year, Turk tells KWN |
| Interviewed by King World News, GoldMoney founder and GATA consultant James Turk says gold has been making higher lows for two years and all its pullbacks lately have been well-bid. Turk adds that he expects a lot of inflation this year because debt in the United States has become so huge that the Federal Reserve will not be able to make real interest rates positive. So he thinks this may be gold's year to break free of central bank market rigging.

| Why Capital Controls Usually Fail, China Versus Bitcoin Edition - John Rubino |
| One of the recurring themes of financial history is government

money overseas, prompting the government to try to trap that wealth
within its borders. This nearly always fails because rich people are
clever and borders are really hard to seal.

engineered an epic debt binge in the past decade, and bitcoin – which

| The Dumbest Dumb Money Finally Gets Suckered In - John Rubino |
| Corporate share repurchases have turned out to be a great mechanism
for converting Federal Reserve easing into higher consumer spending.
Just allow public companies to borrow really cheaply and one of the
things they do with the resulting found money is repurchase their stock.
This pushes up equity prices, making investors feel richer and more
willing to splurge on the kinds of frivolous stuff (new cars, big
houses, extravagant vacations) that produce rising GDP numbers.

| Insanity, like criminality, usually starts small and expands with

currency crisis thorough Russia’s bond default, the Asian Contagion
financial crisis, the Long Term Capital Management collapse and finally
the Y2K computer bug.
With the exception of Y2K – which turned out to be a total non-event –

Millions of people out there still bear the psychic scars of buying
gold at $800/oz in 1980 or a tech stock at 1,000 times earnings in 1999

Then things departed from the usual script. A falling gold price
