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 |

| Banker Gold Price Suppression Currency Manipulations Have Persisted for 50 years |
| This 1967 meeting of the FOMC nearly 46 years ago is clear and indisputable evidence of gold price suppression and currency manipulation of the world's "free" and "open" market exchanges.
This criminal cabal has certainly built up their mechanisms since this time to conceal their sinister scheme from issuing dishonest money. It's blatant now and all of "in your face" is their behavioral response to inquiry. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.

Snowballs have a short life expectancy in Death Valley.
Fiat currencies, backed by credit and debt, survive longer than
snowballs in Death Valley, but history shows all fiat currencies are
inflated into worthlessness and eventually die.

Silver Stackers: Measure your Stash like a Miner  |
| When attempting to quantify the amount and quality of a possible mineralized
deposit on their property, exploration companies and producers generally follow
a process which seeks to state, in reasonably accurate and concise terms, just
what they have...or might have. Following the Bre-X fiasco, wherein 'highly
inaccurate' reserves of a supposed deposit in Borneo were publicized and acted
upon by a tidal wave of investors, sophisticated and neophyte alike, a new

| Why We Now Measure Gold in Dollars — and Not the Other Way Around |
| Prior to 1933, the name "dollar" was used to refer to a unit of gold that had a weight of 23.22 grains. Since there are 480 grains in one ounce, this means that the name dollar also stood for 0.048 ounce of gold. This in turn, means that one ounce of gold referred to $20.67.Observe that $20.67 is not the price of one ounce of gold in terms of dollars as popular thinking has it, for there is no such entity as a dollar. Dollar is just a name for 0.048 ounce of gold. On this Rothbard wrote,No one pWednesday, February 10, 2021 |

| How Are Spot Prices Determined |
| There are two key markets in which the prices of gold and silver are determined. 1. Over-the-Counter (OTC) The OTC market consists of traders dealing with other traders on a one-on-one basis. It operates much like the internet â?? it is just a network of traders independently dealing with each other 24 hours a day. OTC is generally meant to refer to professional/corporate entities trading 400oz gold bars (and 1000oz silver bars), usually for settlement in London. However, when you buyTuesday, February 9, 2021 |

| “Accommodative” |
| Though not a new word to describe Fed policy intentions, using it in today’s statement in the context of obviously rising inflation and inflationary expectations is a new policy stance and one very favorable for gold and likely the Trump administration as well. It seems that the Fed is willing to chase the inflation rate rather than trump it (forgive the reference), and as long as that’s the case, the markets will read inflation into the economic script for the future.

The cost of building the Parthenon was 469 silver talents, or about £5.6m.

| What Is Key for the Price Formation of Gold |
| Robert Blumen discusses some important but widely misunderstood elements acting on the gold price. He explains that frequently cited gold demand statistics have no relationship to the gold price. In addition, he explains that the annual gold mine production is of very little influence, as gold is hoarded, not consumed like other commodities.

| Many investors hold gold and silver to hedge against various crises. But does this hedge hold up during stock market crashes?It’s a common assumption that gold and silver prices will fall right along with the market. And if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to wait to buy them until after the dust settles?Before formulating a strategy, let’s first look at price data from past stock market crashes…The Message from HistoryI looked at past stock market crashes and measMonday, January 25, 2021 |

| The origin of cycles |
| It was Karl Marx who was among the first believers that cyclical behaviour was endemic to free markets.He lived through a time when there was a regular cycle of boom and bust, with phases of economic expansion followed by contraction. Workers were employed and then unemployed, and the only way this could be stopped, in Marxian economics, was for the workers to acquire the means of production, or more correctly, the state to do so on their behalf.Other economists, such as Jevons and Wicksell, recSunday, January 24, 2021 |
