| Monetary Aspects of the Gold Price |
| Among the Anglo-Saxons, there is a school of thought called the "Whig view of history," which sees the course of events as an unrolling tapestry on which is woven a record of a steady, ineluctable progression from barbarity to civilizationWednesday, February 24, 2021 |

 The Double Whammy of Geopolitical Gold Games  |
| Even the most rabid silver bugs admit the possibility that the Chinese are the Big Silver Shorts. This suggests that the Big Gold Shorts are also governments. Neither are naked by any stretch of the imagination. The double whammy of gold and silver accumulation by unnamed governments is the big puzzle of the present financial crisis in the world as it holds the key to the resolution.Friday, January 22, 2021 |

The laws of Darwinian survival of the fittest and the strategies for survival have some remarkable parallels!Friday, October 2, 2020 |

| The Bank of England, 1720-1913 |
| In 1844, there was a new regulation of the Bank of England, which separated the Bank into an Issue Department and a Banking Department. The Issue Department was solely responsible for issuing and managing banknotes, or "currency in circulation." The Banking Department was responsible for lending, including deposits. We recognize today that deposits at the currency issuer (central bank) are a form of base money, much like banknotes, because they are accepted as an ultimate form of payment. Thus, what we now recognize as "base money" was split between the two Departments. This introduced some funny issues, which we may talk about in much more detail later.Wednesday, April 8, 2020 |

| The Three Gold Camps |
| I believe I have found a suitable starting point when I talk about Gold, and I’d like to share it with you to help explain “WHY” to your friends and family. With people who have little or no knowledge of gold, I have decided to start all conversations by narrowing down the different gold “Camps”. Let’s call them the “3 Gold Camps” and here they are:Monday, March 30, 2020 |

| Buy Silver And Sell Gold Now |
| – Buy silver and sell gold now – Frisby– Gold should cost 15 times as much as silver– Silver might have disappointed in short term – But it’s time to buy
– Editor’s note: Silver has outperformed stocks, bonds and gold over long term (see table)
For those of you with busy schedules who like to see arguments made in 280 characters or less, let me come straight to the point: the time has come to sell your gold and buy silver.
Got that?
Right. Now, those of you who are interested to know why I wouSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

| 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 |

| Cheap Gold Stocks Basing |
| The
small contrarian gold-mining sector remains deeply out of favor,
universally ignored. Thus the gold stocks are largely drifting
listlessly, totally devoid of excitement. But that’s the best time
to buy low, when few others care. The gold stocks continue to form
strong technical bases, paving the way for massive mean-reversion
uplegs. And they remain exceedingly cheap relative to gold prices,
which drive their profits.
Being a gold-stock investor feels pFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| 3 Amigos of the Macro, Updated |
| You thought I was done with the Amigos shtick, did you? Not by a long shot ma’am. They are the happy-go-lucky riders in play as the stock bull market churns on. They are the rising SPX/Gold ratio and stocks in general vs. gold (Amigo #1), rising US 10yr & 30yr yields (Amigo #2) and the flattening 10-2 yield curve (Amigo #3). On their current trends these goofy riders have signaled “a-okay!” to casino patrons playing the stock market and other risk ‘on’ items.Taking our macro indicators out of orFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| Inflation Is Not Under Control |
| Let’s continue on our topic of capital consumption. It’s an important area of study, as our system of central bank socialism imposes many incentives to consume and destroy capital. As capital is the leverage that increases the productivity of human effort, it is vital that we understand what’s happening. We do not work harder today, than they worked 200 years ago, or in the ancient world. Yet we produce so much more, that obesity is a disease more of the poor than the rich.

| Gold is a Giant Ouija Board |
| We have been promising to get back to the topic of capital destruction, which we put on hiatus for the last several weeks to make our case that the interest rate remains in a falling trend. Today, we have a different way of looking at capital destruction.
Socialism is the system of seeking out and destroying capital. Redistribution means taking someone’s capital and handing it over as income to someone else. The rightful owner would steward and compound it, not consume it. But the recipient of uMonday, February 26, 2018 |

| New Low in Gold Stocks is a Strong Buy Signal |
| Gold has been on the cusp of a major breakout but someone forgot to tell the gold stocks. Gold is right back at resistance levels yet the various gold stock indices are off their September 2017 highs by 11% to 16%. The relative weakness in the gold stocks (and Silver) is a signal that Gold is unlikely to breakout now. In fact, if Gold were to correct here the gold stocks could threaten support and perhaps make new lows. While that sounds quite bearish, history shows that a break to new lows in gTuesday, February 20, 2018 |

| Semi Bearish |
| Over the last several years, beginning in 2013 I’ve made post titles like ‘Semi Bullish‘ in response to the bullish leading edge economic cycle indicator, the Semiconductor Equipment sector and its implications for broad stocks and the economy. Those implications of economic acceleration were along these lines… Semi Equipment Book-to-Bill (b2b) → Broad Semi → Manufacturing → Employment → Firm Economy. Shortly after the b2b was noted as bullish the SOX index and the S&P 500 broke out to new highsTuesday, February 20, 2018 |

| Large Speculators and the House of Pain |
| This week's COT report once again confirms that the Large Speculators are arguably the stupidest group of gold traders in existence. To be certain, as criminality is to the Commercials, brainlessness is to the Large Specs. They are constantly long massive positions at major turning points in gold and silver and are consistently on the wrong side of the trade. Pundits love to refer to the Small Speculators as "dumb retail" or the typically green, blindly optimistic newcomer piling into gold futurSunday, February 18, 2018 |

| Gold Stocks: “V” Bottom Blast-off |
| Gold has staged a superb rebound from the $1310 support zone, but that was overshadowed by the truly spectacular reversals taking place in most of the Western world’s gold stocks!
This is the gold chart. I like the technical action being displayed right now. Here’s why:
First, $1370 is massive resistance. It’s understandable that gold would build a modest head and shoulders top pattern after arriving at this key price zone.
What’s especially positive is that gold has only modestly declined Tuesday, February 13, 2018 |
