| Supply Crunch Or Oil Glut: Investment Banks Can't Agree |
| In recent years, U.S. shale has thrown in another unknown in the mix of factors
driving the price of oil. This year, shale output forecasts combine with OPEC's
production cuts, geopolitical factors, and unexpected outages to further complicate
supply/demand and oil price forecasts by Wall Street's major investment banks.
The biggest banks remain bullish on
oil prices, expecting moderate price gains by the end of the year, even after
last month WTI prices dropped below $50 for a couple Tuesday, March 19, 2019 |

| 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 pSunday, February 24, 2019 |

| Many investors hold gold and silver to hedge against various crises. But does this hedge hold up during stock market crashes?It’s a common assumption that gold and silver prices will fall right along with the market.

| What makes gold good money |
| People say that gold is rare this is why it makes good money. To make an analogy to the porridge in Goldilocks, the temperature could not be too cold or too hot. If gold were too common, or too rare, it would not work as money. Think of sand, which is too common, or blue diamonds which are too rare (and diamonds would not work as money anyway.
Rather than focusing on its rarity, let’s look at extracting it. It has generally held true that the cost to mine an ounce of gold was around one ounce ofTuesday, January 22, 2019 |

| Is This The Beginning Of The Next Silver Rush |
| This report is a PAID ADVERTISEMENT from Oilprice.com
Far below the Nevada desert, past ancient mine shafts and rock-strewn caverns, there could be a fortune waiting to be made by one small company.
A fortune in silver.
A mine that inspired the silver rush in the 1880s, that was tapped once more in the 1960s, could again prove a boon to miners using the latest technologies to tap unexplored and unexploited mineral deposits.
It could prove to be a great re-discovery in the history of silver mininFriday, December 14, 2018 |
