A beginner's guide to investing in Gold  |
| One’s motivation for buying gold is fundamental to deciding in which form you should buy it. Are you a speculator, investor or saver? Do you wish to take a short term speculative position in gold? Are you investing for the short, medium or long term? Or are you diversifying, saving or using gold as a form of financial insurance?Wednesday, March 3, 2021 |

| The 5 Largest Gold Nuggets that Still Exist |
| Throughout gold rush and gold mining history, the discovery of a large gold nugget is a phenomenon which always causes excitement throughout a mining community as well as capturing the wider public's imagination. It has probably something to do with so much gold being found at the same time, often with relative ease.
Gold nuggets can be found in alluvial deposits (sediments formed by water movement) or in other placer deposits (formed by other movement), but gold nuggets can also be found in or Tuesday, December 15, 2020 |

| Stock to Flow Ratio - A Primer |
| The importance of gold's stock to flow ratio is greatly
underestimated. I first came across the concept in 2009 at a lecture by
Professor Antal E. Fekete in Szombathely, Hungary. It fascinated me and
the more I looked at its implications, the more amazed that I became,
not least of which because my search engine couldn't locate a single
piece of writing on the subject anywhere.

 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 |

| In our last two major research pieces we have been looking at the working parts of the gold market and where the heart of it lies. We’re trying to help investors understand where gold prices are really set.
Today we take a look at the London gold market, an older and arguably larger market than COMEX.
A couple of weeks ago we explained how we had ‘found that the COMEX was still the beating heart of the gold market.’ Since this research piece, Bron Sucheki, whose work featured in our last piece,Friday, June 26, 2020 |

| The Nonexistent 'Social Costs' of a Gold Standard System |
| One of the odd notions that has come down through the years is that a
gold standard system has “social costs.” It does not. It creates a
profit.
Of course, it does take effort to dig gold out of the ground. However,
gold production never ceased after the end of the world gold standard
in 1971. Roughly half of all the gold ever mined, in all of history,
has been mined after 1971. Annual production today is the highest in
history, and about double what it was in 1970. People seem happy to

| Gold Miners’ Q4’17 Fundamentals |
| The
gold miners’ stocks remain deeply out of favor, trading at prices
seen when gold was half or even a quarter of current levels. So
many traders assume this small contrarian sector must be really
struggling fundamentally. But nothing could be farther from the
truth! The major gold miners’ recently-released Q4’17 results prove
they are thriving. Their languishing stock prices are the result of
irrational herd sentiment.

| “Should We Restore The Gold Standard” |
| I thought I would add a little commentary to this item from Bullionstar:
Should We Restore the Gold Standard?
It consists of a sort of virtual discussion between Larry White and David Glasner, who we looked at recently regarding his views of the Great Depression:
I say “virtual” because it appears that the two did not have an actual discussion, but rather, the author compares some of their public statements. The article is a nice summary of what a discussion today on this topic might look like.

So says GoldCore founder and self-confessed gold bug, Mark O’Byrne.
Indeed, I recently caught up with Mark to get his thoughts on gold and what’s going on with it right now…
But before we got to the nitty-gritty, I started by asking him a little about his background:

If the gold produced in Sudan were not sold but used as a guarantee for financing, the country's financial problems would be solved, says Minister of Minerals Dr. Hashem Ali Salem. Meanwhile, the economic situation continues to deteriorate, with the country's reserves of cooking gas almost depleted, and soaring prices of consumer goods.

| By the SRSrocco Report,
The debate continues between the SRSrocco Report and CPM Group's Jeff Christian on the fundamentals of the silver market. After my article, in which I questioned the CPM Group's exclusion of silver investment demand from their supply and demand analysis, Jeff Christian responded with a comment on my website. I am glad that Mr. Christian responded because it now allows me the opportunity to explain in more detail why I disagree with the CPM Group's analysis.
