| IN THE NEWS By Cliona O'Dowd, Eureka Report Gold's rollercoaster ride since April has the market spooked. But, for small investors keen to hold physical gold, the lure of the precious metal is proving too tempting to resist.

| Today’s AM fix was USD 1,378.75, EUR 1,070.21 and GBP 908.39 per ounce.
Yesterday’s AM fix was USD 1,353.75, EUR 1,051.95 and GBP 890.86 per ounce.

Silver’s recovery yesterday from being 10% lower at one stage to recouping these losses and then rising over 2% was very positive technically. The key reversal is leading some to postulate that we may have seen the bottom or are close to a bottom.

| When central banks buy stocks |
| The investment story of the year to date is the central bank-led financial market recovery. While everyone is aware of the impact the Fed's $85 billion-a-month asset purchases is having on stocks, few investors realize that central banks are making direct purchases of stocks. The implication of this new development is shocking. Bank of America stated that global central banks have cut rates an incredible 511 times since June 2007 in an effort at re-inflating the global economy. "Most centralSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

| How High can the US$ Fly versus Japan's Yen? |
| The Wise Sages of Ancient days used to say, "The fate of a Liar, is that nobody
believes him, - even when he's speaking the truth!" Such is the predicament
of Japan's propaganda artists, including the Prime Minister, the Finance minister,
and central bank chief, who are all trying to cover-up their boldest scheme
yet, to crush the value of the Japanese yen, against the currencies of its
major trading partners. On May 11th, the finance chiefs of the Group of Seven

| Currency Wars: Russia's Proposal for the Post-Bretton Woods II Global Financial System |
| "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
