Foreign Financial Reporting of U.S. Citizens Coming. Will it Include Gold?  |
| Commodity Futures Trading Commission New Regulations Reporting Overseas TransactionsSince the start of the credit crunch in mid-2007 we have seen a steady move forward by government to place greater control over the financial aspects of people's lives. One of the biggest milestones from an investor's point of view has been the establishment of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This is consistent with the intentions expressed by President Obama that U.S. Citizen's financial successeWednesday, May 08, 2013 |

History says Gold goes to where it is respected. 98 percent of Gold at Federal Reserve Bank of New York is owned by central bank of foreign nations and 2 percent is owned by United States of America.
Germany holds more than 3,000 tons of gold bullion, which represents more than 75 percent of its foreign currency reserves.
Germany build its gold reserves as trade surplus after Second World War. Much of world’s gold is stored in vaults underneatTuesday, May 07, 2013 |

A Short History of the Gold Cartel  |
| Governments want a low gold price to make national currencies look good. Gold is recognizable the world over as the "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to money. A rising gold price blurts the unpleasant truth that a national currency is being poorly managed and that its purchasing power is being inflated.Monday, May 06, 2013 |

| Gold Price in May 2013 |
| The Wall Street Journal had an especially colorful metaphor to describe what has happened to the price of gold that fateful week when gold tumbled 13% in the two sessions through April 15, the biggest drop in 33 years.“Slick with the viscera of crushed gold bugs, the world’s trading floors look even more treacherous than usual.”
Do we feel like crushed bugs? Not at all.
Do we think that the bull market in gold is over? Not yet.
Do we know that markets can be cruel? Hell, yes.

| So where's all the gold coming ... |
| Observing the recent smash in the paper gold market, our friend S.S. asks whether it may signify that Western government gold reserves, particularly U.S. gold reserves, are a lot larger than reported, or if world gold holdings generally are a lot larger than estimated, so much so that gold price suppression can continue for decades or centuries. He cites the famous story about the supposed hoard of looted Asian gold amassed by Japanese Army Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita during World War II, a hoard soMonday, April 29, 2013 |

ZURICH -- Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan won't exclude increasing the central bank's gold holdings at some point and said most of its reserves are held domestically.
"As part of a good diversification of currency reserves, a certain proportion of gold can help reduce the balance sheet risk," Jordan said in Bern today, according to a copy of his speechFriday, April 26, 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 |

Gold Panic!?!  |
| Holy cow, not even the most vociferous gold bears saw that one coming!Gold just suffered what can only be described as a panic.This metal plummeted so fast that its price surrendered a staggering 1/7th of its value in just two trading days!This blistering decline was so extreme it even dragged the general stock markets down with it.Shell-shocked gold investors are nervously wondering what to make of it.The gold panic certainly caught me unaware, even after a dozen years of relentless study and vMonday, April 22, 2013 |

| Don't Sell Your Gold Until? |
| To me, at least, times are fascinating as much as they are disturbing. The
take down we have seen in gold and silver beginning on Friday and still
continuing on Monday is breathtaking. I like many others believe that the
takedown was orchestrated and initiated by those who have brought the world
to its knees but that after a certain point a whole lot of other factors,
whether they be fear, sentiment or computers also contributed to the
continuing slide. Precious metals haMonday, April 22, 2013 |

| Shale Oil is a Big Game Changer for Dow-to-Gold Ratio |
| Financial history is marked with times when populations took collective leave
of their senses and succumbed to delusions of ever-expanding wealth. Times
of rampant speculation have been enthralled by the introduction of new technologies,
that are used to justify pumping-up market valuations, - not just for the
present, but also for the near future, and far over the horizon as well. Quite
often, the new found wealth is nothing more than a mirage. The wild enthusiasm

| Gold in the Crosshairs |
| In the opening years of the last decade, most mainstream investors sat on the sidelines while "tin hat"goldbugs rode the bull market from below $300 to just over $1,000 per ounce. But following the 2008 financial crisis, when gold held up better than stocks during the decline and made new record highs long before the Dow Jones fully recovered, Wall Street finally sat up and took notice.Tuesday, April 16, 2013 |

| Smack Down Time |
| What a humdinger last week was in a money world that is chugging toward maximum velocity and turbulence. Readers know (and may be sick of hearing) that I'm allergic to conspiracy theories, but my allergy is not absolute or total and there are excellent reasons to believe that the smack down of gold and silver was an orchestrated event.Tuesday, April 16, 2013 |
