| 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 |

The Hungarian Connection  |
| Gold is the most misunderstood metal in human history, because of the economists' failure to distinguish between its dynamic and static aspects in representing values. Economists have blithely assumed all along that the value of gold is the same whether it flows freely from one hand to the next, or whether the movement of gold is obstructed, in the worst case arrested, by the government (soon to be aped by banks and individualsFriday, September 25, 2020 |

| Whatis precious metals leasing, and why is it done...?
LEASINGis an integral part of the precious metals market,writes Miguel Perez-Santalla at BullionVault.
Why is it necessary? For a diverse number of reasons, the first is the need for industry to borrow instead of buying outright the metal. This enables them to avoid owning the metal at a fixed price if they have not yet contracted to sell their product.Saturday, May 23, 2020 |

| Bank Stocks Lead Gold Stocks Higher |
| As the world transitions from deflation to inflation, investors need to engage in serious sector rotation or they risk being left behind.
Income growth in China/India, US government tax cuts, central bank rate hikes, and quantitative tightening are the main fundamental forces of this transition.
The paint is barely dry on Trump’s first tranche of tax cuts, and he’s already talking about round two!
Trump is a businessman and a realist, and that means he knows the US government has no hope ofWednesday, March 14, 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.

| The Smallest Company in the Lowest Cost Oil Play in the US |
| Keith Schaefer of Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin profiles a micro-cap oil company with land in a prime area.
Small oil producers have been shunned by the market, making them extremely cheap now—giving the whole sector lots of leverage for investors.
The one I'm focused on this year is Jericho Oil Corp. (JCO:TSX.V; JROOF:OTC). It's the smallest company I can find in the best play—which right now looks like the STACK play in Oklahoma.

| Fed Hikes, Dollar, and Gold |
| The
US dollar has fallen rather sharply over the past year or so,
despite ongoing Fed rate hikes. This persistent dollar weakness has
really boosted gold. There’s a fascinating interplay between these
two currencies and futures speculators’ expectations for Fed rate
hikes. These traders hang on every word from top Fed officials,
which greatly influences their trading. So these relationships are
important to understand.

| Here’s What Gold is Waiting For |
| Gold was well bid during the equity correction but it could not breakout then and has retreated as equities have roared back. As a result, the Gold to stocks ratio has retraced most of its recent surge. Meanwhile, the US Dollar has rebounded and the oversold and overhated bond market could be starting a rally. The recent rise in long-term bond yields which has benefitted Gold appears due for a pause or correction. Meanwhile, Gold could also correct and consolidate as it waits for a breakout in lWednesday, February 28, 2018 |

| 10-Year Yields Move into Overbought Territory |
| The rise in Treasury Bond yields that started following our signal in July 2016 has come in two waves. The first produced overbought readings into December 2016 and was followed by a drift lower through September. Since then they have moved higher, gaining momentum in the last five weeks as 10-Year yields reached 2.8%. This has produced overbought Exhaustion Alerts and Sequential 9 Sell Setups in the daily and weekly charts.

| Gold: The Ultimate Iron Lady |
| The appointment of Jerome Powell as new Fed chair is likely the catalyst that ushers in a multi-decade era of rising inflation and soaring gold stocks.
I’ve announced a long term target for GDX of $15,000. That really isn’t very high… given the strong inflation numbers that I am projecting for America in the years ahead.
Having said that, Powell has only been on the job for one day. Investors need to show patience. Wait to see what he actually does before taking “back up the truck” market actiWednesday, February 7, 2018 |

| Radical Gold Underinvestment 4 |
| Global investors are radically underinvested in gold today. Years
of relentless stock-market rallying to endless new record highs have
left this classic alternative investment deeply out of favor. But
this gold-demand ebb is ending. The same central banks that fueled
these extreme stock markets through epic easing are reversing to
massive and unprecedented tightening. As stocks roll over, gold

| Gold Stocks: An Inflationary Money Train |
| Technically and fundamentally, gold is poised to resume its magnificent rally that is taking investors into what I call a “bull era.”
The next FOMC meeting announcement is tomorrow. I expect the Fed to strongly signal more rate hikes and ramped up quantitative easing. There’s an outside chance that bank deregulation is addressed, but that’s likely going to happen in the next meeting.
Regardless, everything the Fed is doing is positive for inflation, negative for government bonds, and negative Wednesday, January 31, 2018 |

| On March 9, 2009, The Wall Street Journal’s Money and Investing section posed this ominous question: "How low can stocks go?" The stench of economic malaise was suffocating as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rounded off its fourth straight week of losses, and the S&P 500 touched below 700 for the first time in 13 years. Goldman Sachs cautioned the S&P could fall to 400, while CNBC’s Jim Cramer was busily calculating the stock valuations of the DJIA components based on balance sheet cash Tuesday, January 30, 2018 |

 Why You Must Own Silver in 2018 |
| While Gold is very close to a major breakout (in price) its strength has not filtered down to Silver yet. Gold is 3% away from a major breakout and comfortably above its long-term moving averages. However, Silver is well below its 2016 high and is currently battling its 200-day moving average. But that is okay. Silver typically lags and underperforms Gold until Gold gains momentum or breaks key resistance. A major breakout in Gold this year and its effect on Silver is just one reason why Silver Monday, January 22, 2018 |
