How you should think about gold. Gold’s main use, contrary to the belief of some, isn’t in jewelry or dentistry—although those uses are important. Its main use has almost always been as money. But gold’s ancillary uses are growing in importance because, given its physical characteristics, it’s a high-tech metal. It’s one of the most resistant to chemical reaction, one of the most ductile, the most malleable ... MORE

Doug Casey: Why Debt Is Not Money
How you should think about gold. Gold’s main use, contrary to the belief of some, isn’t in jewelry or dentistry—although those uses are important. Its main use has almost always been as money. But gold’s ancillary uses are growing in importance because, given its physical characteristics, it’s a high-tech metal. It’s one of the most resistant to chemical reaction, one of the most ductile, the most malleable ... MOREPeter Schiff: Currencies Depend On Faith, Gold Doesn’t
Considering the intrinsic value of paper. In his July 17th Blog, Let’s Get Real About Gold, author and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig likened investor interest in gold with the “Pet Rock” craze of the 1970’s, when consumers became convinced that a rock in a box would provide continuous companionship, elevate their social standing, ... MOREAs Prices Drop, Gold Sales Explode at US Mint
by Joshua Krause. Something doesn't add up here. A little over two weeks ago, a source within the US Mint announced that
sales of their silver eagles had grown to the point that the Mint was
running out, and would have to suspend all orders for several weeks. This claim was later officially confirmed by the US Mint, and ZeroHedge
noted how strange ... MOREKeith Weiner: They’re Coming To Take Away Your Cash
Do banks serve you or politicians? The stories are all over the Internet. Governments are forcing us into a cashless society. Supposedly the pretext is terrorism, and the real reason is to take more control. No doubt more power appeals to politicians, and banning cash seems like the next step after mandatory reporting of cash transactions. ...

Stocks are, after all, at historic ... MORERigged Gold Price Distorts Perception of Economic Reality
by Paul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler. The Federal Reserve and its bullion bank agents (JP Morgan, Scotia, and HSBC) have been using naked short-selling to drive down the price of gold since September 2011. The latest containment effort began in mid-July of this year, after gold had moved higher in price from the beginning of June and ... MOREKeith Weiner: Oklahoma Moves Towards the Gold Standard
Sound money legislation. There is strong opposition to any proposal to end the Federal Reserve and move away from its paper dollar. The Fed has many ideological and, of course, crony supporters. So it’s interesting that there was little controversy in Oklahoma around removing one of the obstacles to the use of gold as money. Republican Mary ... MOREVIDEO: Government's War On Living Standards

Peter Schiff: A Green Light For Gold?
It is rare that investors are given a road map. It is rarer still that the vast majority of those who get it are unable to understand the clear signs and directions it contains. When this happens the few who can actually read the map find themselves in an enviable position. Such is currently the case with gold and gold-related investments. ... MOREPeter Schiff: Record Physical Gold Sales
Best hedge against inflation. Peter Schiff appeared on Fox Business this morning to talk about the market’s perception of gold, the extraordinary surge in gold sales this month, and hidden inflation in the US and Japan. “Gold has been up for 12 consecutive years. It’s entitled to a correction. It’s incredible how the media has jumped all over ... MORE
