| Mars and Mercury Decide the Fate of the U.S. Dollar and Gold |
| The U.S. dollar has been bleeding recently, despite all the Fed’s tightening efforts and the passage of Trump’s tax cuts. An accelerating economy, rising interest rates and pro-growth reforms should logically drive the value of the American currency. But they didn’t.
Given the strong negative correlation between the greenback and gold, finding the cause behind the dollar’s wounds is highly critical. The most common explanation among analysts is Trump the Destroyer. It shouldn’t be surprising, asFriday, February 9, 2018 |

| Alasdair Macleod: 2018 could be the year for gold |
| The new year is not likely to be good for the U.S. dollar, GoldMoney research director Alasdair Macleod writes today.
The United States, Macleod writes, "will compete for dominance on military grounds while the battle for global power is in fact economic. It is a strategy America is bound to lose, because empires always thrive on trade, not suppression. Suppression is an endgame. By opting for trade isolationism and military power, the Americans are risking everything on the dollar's status beinThursday, December 21, 2017 |

| 2018 could be the year for gold |
| We approach 2018 having seen the seeds planted in recent years for a monetary revolution. They include the massive world-wide expansion of credit and debt since the last credit crisis, and the advent of potentially disruptive cryptocurrencies. Geopolitical shifts of tectonic scale have occurred, hardly noticed by the ordinary person. That was until now. We are now on board a train which is gathering speed towards its buffers: the end of dollar hegemony and its potential collapse.It might take a Thursday, December 21, 2017 |

| Oil for gold – the real story |
| Following an article in the Nikkei Asia Review, which reported China will shortly introduce an oil futures contract priced in yuan, there has been some confusion about what it means. The article pointed out that in combination with existing gold futures priced in yuan, an oil exporter to China contracting to accept yuan could use these two futures contracts to take delivery of physical gold in payment for oil.I was quoted in that article as follows:"It is a mechanism which is likely to appeal toSunday, October 15, 2017 |

| It’s frustrating to think there’s nothing you can do about it, because it’s all around you and pervasive in our society today. It’s born in human greed and the desire for power, which are the base modus operandi behind all its manifestations, from America’s new found extremes in neo-fascism, to the (Western) police state, to Empire. From the lowest clerk to ‘the powers that be’, all are equally guilty in allowing its spread in tacitly complicit bureaucracy. It’s why the Constitution of The UniteMonday, May 1, 2017 |

There is a slowing of production and dwindling of reserves at many of the world’s largest mines.
All the oz’s or pounds are never recovered from a mine - they simply becomes too expensive to recover.
The pace of new elephant-sized discoveries has decreased in the mining industry.
Discoveries are smaller and in less accessible regions.
Mineralogy & metallurgy is more complicated making extraction of metals from the mined ore increasingly more complex and expensive.
