 Marking the Field: US Stated Gold Reserves and Gold Held at the Fed - World Gold and Gold Swaps |
| The US Treasury says that it holds 261,499,000 fine troy ounces in its international reserves.
The gold is valued on the books at $42.2222 per fine troy ounce. This represents a total value of $11,041,063,078.
Since there are 32,150.7466 troy ounces in a tonne, the US Treasury has 8,133.53 tonnes of fine gold on its books. Note that the number as presented on a copy of the official US Treasury statement shown below includes 'gold swaps.'

| Reinventing Bretton Woods: Global Finance In Transition - Currency Wars |
| As you may recall, Bretton Woods was the name of the conference, taken from its location, that set up the post World War II international currency arrangement with the US dollar as the reserve currency of the world. It was based on a dollar convertible in gold.
When Nixon arbitrarily shut the 'gold window' in 1971 the world entered a reserve currency system of purely fiat dollars, often called Bretton Woods II.
There are a number of theories that suggest that such a system is not sustainable,Saturday, April 27, 2013 |

| The whole world is talking about gold |
| Here we take a look at how, despite calls that the gold bubble is finished, the whole world is still talking about buying gold.
Read any financial paper or website and they’ll tell you that the ‘gold-bubble’ is over. This opinion appears to be based solely on price and not much else.
When you look at short-term price action on its own then perhaps you can understand how they’ve reached this conclusion. Gold, across many countries, is down sinTuesday, April 23, 2013 |

| Can Equities Cushion the Blow of Falling Gold Prices?: Peter Rose |
| The Gold Report: Peter, can you give us your long-term view of the Eurozone as it lurches from bailout to bailout?
Peter Rose: Some major things have to happen in Europe and the sooner, the better. Unfortunately, I think it will get worse in the short term.
But from the mining industry perspective, these crises are bringing a lot of realism to certain governments. Greece has opposed mining, despite having quite good ore bodies, as do Portugal, Spain and Cyprus. Mining companies can generateMonday, April 22, 2013 |

| The threat of war against the United States is making headlines and roiling investors? nerves. While full-scale war is likely not imminent, it?s something worth considering in light of where we stand in the long-term War Cycle. North Korea has stolen the geopolitical spotlight in recent weeks after making military threats against both the U.S. and South Korea. North Korea is the target of UN sanctions in response to a nuclear weapons test performed by the country in February. In reference to theThursday, April 18, 2013 |

 Gold, Silver & King Dollar |
| One of the more common themes during the parabolic moves in gold and silver was that the US dollar was on its last legs and ready to die and that anyone wanting to survive needed to buy silver and gold to protect themselves from the day the dollar died. (didn’t one of those silver stacker fear preachers make a video about that? moving on …) The financial crisis gripped the world in late 2007 but didn’t really hit everyone in the head until 2008 and 2009.

| Five Mining Companies that Meet Jamie Mackie's Success Criteria |
| The Gold Report: Investing in mining equities is a cyclical play. Are we at a point in the cycle for investors to return to mining equities?
Jamie Mackie: I think the gold mining stocks are at or near the bottom. Research from the Ned Davis Research Group shows that pessimism is extremely high?typically an indication that we are close to a bottom. From our perspective, that is the best time to position yourself. Once the market begins to turn, it will happen rapidly. Investors need to recognizeSaturday, March 23, 2013 |

Gritty Questions on the Historic Collapse  |
| The typical articles over the last many years have featured a particular theme. In the last few months, the central theme in Jackass articles has been the isolation and demise of the USDollar, how it is happening, why it must happen, and its importance in the restoration of the global financial structure. But this week, a sudden urge has come to address an overwhelming list of critical gritty questions. They crop up with clients, colleagues, and friends.

| Discover 35 Mining Stocks with Potential: Henk Krasenberg |
| The Gold Report: Where's the rally for gold?
Henk Krasenberg: The general investment public is not in the right mood for resource stocks. Those who own them are not happy with their performance, and those who don't own them are not convinced that they should own them. Only 2% of all investment capital is in gold, other metals and related vehicles. I believe that gold is not as high as most people think. I relate it to the all-time high of $850/ounce ($850/oz) in 1980 and if you correct that toMonday, February 25, 2013 |

The Law of Unintended Consequences  |
| Wallace, Idaho – An impromptu gun show broke out last weekend under the I-5 freeway when Seattle's police department, in one of its feel-goodendeavours, offered to help get guns off the streets with a buyback program offering $100 (in gift certificates) for handguns, long guns and shotguns, and $200 for anymisnomered “assault rifles” -- meaning, one supposes, semi-automatic rifles with black furniture.Thursday, January 31, 2013 |

| Gold in an Uncertain World |
| Gold in recent months has been stuck in a trading range between $1675 and $1750 an ounce - disappointing many bullish investors and quite a few gold-market analysts (like myself) who had expected the yellow metal to be ending the year approaching - or even exceeding - its all-time high-water mark near $1924 recorded back in September of 2011.Monday, December 17, 2012 |

| The US Is Now the United (Police) State of America |
| At the beginning. America was founded as a confederation of independent countries – that's what a state is. Or was, in our language. The original United States of America was a confederation of countries that banded together for protection against larger and more powerful countries they feared might be hostile. This is not a disputed interpretation of history, but as solid a fact as the study of history produces – and yet a largely neglected one.Thursday, December 06, 2012 |
