 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 |

| Open Letter to GATA |
| Dear GATA and Mr. Chris Powell:
I am writing this in response to your article Monetary Metals’ Weiner refuses to see anything wrong in the gold market.
There is a certain irony for me to read that I refuse to see. I have spent eight years studying the mechanics of the market, building a model, developing software to run the model through several generations, and licensing nearly three terabytes of data giving ever bid and offer in both the spot and futures markets with sub-millisecond resolutionThursday, March 15, 2018 |

| Super-Duper-Irrational Exuberance |
| Think back to the halcyon days of the dot com boom. This was a time after Greenspan declared “irrational exuberance”. Long Term Capital Management collapsed in 1998, and Greenspan decided to risk propelling exuberance to a level beyond irrational. Super-duper-irrational exuberance?
Anyway, Greenspan cut interest rates a few times in late 1998. Technology companies were able to raise $5 million or more with just a sketch on a napkin (“serviette” for those outside the US). Companies at a “later stTuesday, March 13, 2018 |

| Ted Butler: JPMorgan's motive for controlling the silver price |
| Silver market analyst and manipulation exposer Ted Butler today addresses the possibility that the U.S. government is the real party in interest in JPMorganChase's seeming dominance of the silver market.
Butler writes that he still believes that JPM is rigging the silver market for its own benefit, acquiring a huge position in real metal in anticipation of much higher prices. He writes:
"It is unrealistic, in my opinion, to believe that the U.S. government would single out silver as the one comFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| Is Gold Worth More Or Less Than Its $1900 High In 2011 |
| One of the challenges with investing in precious metals is that there is so much distortion in the market that figuring out a true fair value is not always the easiest thing to do. Yet there are clues investors can look at that indicate that when the price starts to move, it won’t be by a small amount.
Back in 2011 I was still working as an equity options trader on the New York Stock Exchange, and was about two years into my studies of the precious metals market. Following the collapse of the suFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| Ted Butler: No manipulation after all |
| Silver market rigging whistleblower Ted Butler today lays out the overwhelming evidence that a single entity long has been rigging the silver market, and then raises the question of why the market regulatory agencies do nothing about it.
Here's a possible answer: Regulators ignore the market rigging because the entity doing it is acting as agent for the U.S. government, which is fully authorized by federal law, the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 as amended in the 1970s, to intervene secretly in and tThursday, February 15, 2018 |

| Ted Butler: CFTC's long silver investigation missed what the agency just fined |
| Rather than congratulate the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for taking note last week of the manipulation of the monetary metals futures markets, silver market rigging whistleblower Ted Butler today notes acerbically that the violations just cited by the commission took place during its interminable investigation of the silver market, which found ... nothing at all!
Now, Butler writes, what about JPMorganChase's domination of the silver market? Will the CFTC examine that?

| Monetary Metals Brief 2018 |
| Predicting the likely path of the prices of the metals in the near term is easy. Just look at the fundamentals. We have invested many man-years in developing the theory, model, and software to calculate it. Every week we publish charts and our calculated fundamental prices.
However, predicting the outlook for a longer period of time is much harder. The fundamental shows the relative pressures in the spot and futures markets, but they only show a snapshot. They do not predict how those pressures Monday, January 29, 2018 |

| If Gold and Silver Are Manipulated, Why Bother Investing |
| Over the past six years precious metals investors have seen a barrage of negative news regarding the dollar. Yet despite the almost endless money printing and fundamental reasons why gold and silver should respond with higher prices, the precious metals remain well below their 2011 highs.
As has been written on MilesFranklin.com, as well as by experts like Ted Butler and GATA, there is ample evidence suggesting that the markets are being manipulated lower by the bullion banks. Essentially on a sThursday, January 25, 2018 |

 If Stock Market Investors Panic, What Could Happen To The Price Of Silver |
| While it’s becoming more well known by the day that gold and silver are being manipulated lower due to paper short-selling, many still wonder what will be the spark to change current market dynamics. Today let’s consider the stock market, and how even a small reallocation into silver could send the price soaring.

| Ted Butler: A 10-year-deal to let JPM rig silver |
| Silver market analyst Ted Butler today speculates that the U.S. government has a 10-year agreement with JPMorganChase, stemming from the failure of the Bear Stearns investment bank, waiving commodity and anti-trust law enforcement so that Morgan can keep the price of silver under control and profit greatly from doing so.
This brings Butler quite a bit closer to the possibility that Morgan is simply the executor of U.S. government trades, which easily would explain why there is never any enforcemWednesday, December 20, 2017 |

| The Hyperinflation That Was Not |
| Last week, we made a very controversial statement. We are happy to write the truth, and let the chips fall where they may (e.g. our thoughtful disagreement with Ted Butler about price manipulation). We can accept the flak that we get for this, so long as our position is understood. Some criticized our approach as mere technical analysis, and therefore insufficient to the task of explaining the dynamics of the gold and silver markets.
