| Rick Rule’s Reasons to Buy Gold and Select Gold Stocks |
| Interviewed by Jeff Clark, Casey Research
Jeff Clark: First, Rick, what's your basic explanation as to why gold crashed a few weeks ago?
Rick Rule: I think there are two parts to the answer, maybe three. First, the gold market was technically weak. The second thing is that there were a lot of institutional players long gold on leverage, using capital that was borrowed rather than their own, so when the price crashed they had to unwind very rapidly.
The fact that there was a very large futuFriday, May 31, 2013 |

| "After watching the effects of the mediocre payrolls number yesterday (Friday, 5/3/13) which culminated in a push over 1600 in the S&P 500 and a print in the Dow over 15,000, I thought it might be useful to note a few things about this most recent example of a hysteria. "I am on record here as stating that the entire stock market rally is nothing but a Federal Reserve induced bubble brought about by artificially low interest rates starving investors for yield elsewhere.

The Next Escalation: Gold Goes 100% Initial Margin  |
| Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/02/2013
The day many have predicted would come, has finally arrived: 100% initial margin on gold.
For now it is just one Futures Commission Merchant, in this case ex-CBOT traders Crossland LLC (motto: “Where Speed And Service Matter”), but tomorrow it will be another, and another.

| Young FrankenMarket Lives |
| In failing to take a "healthy" correction to the equivalent of SPX 1350 to 1450 from the upside target zone of 1550 to 1590, the market is now running on policy and momentum. Hence we now dub thee Young FrankenMarket; Ben Bernanke's creation, sustained by government and legacy MBA debt, following Alan Greenspan's monster that was stitched together with artificially low interest rates that ultimately manifested in a huge commercial credit bubble.Payrolls came in at 165,000 and an over bought, oveTuesday, May 07, 2013 |

| Is Gold as an Investment Finished? |
| Before delving deeper into that question, perhaps we should see what the mainstream media thinks. In fairness to the MSM, we note there are plenty of articles on both sides of the debate. Yet there has been some media piling-on since the recent hard breakdown in gold. The aptly named Howard Gold explains:The Case for Owning Gold Has Collapsed; Yellow metal could be headed much, much lower http://is.gd/h5KW6v.Gold could be headed not much lower, but much much lower.

| 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 |

 What Is Pushing Down the Gold Price?  |
| It has been an increasingly brutal ride for gold and silver, beginning around late March and accelerating through April. The gold price was over $1600 and on Monday April 15, it fell below $1350, a loss of $250. Silver did even worse, falling from $29 to $22. Wecalled for thegold:silver ratio to rise, and since the start of February, it has risen from around 52.Saturday, April 20, 2013 |

| FUELING GOLD’S FUTURE ASCENT |
| Gold has certainly taken a beating in recent days, giving up all of the gains attained during the Cyprus crisis — and down nearly 20 percent from its all-time high back in September 2011.
And, now having suffered two consecutive quarterly declines for the first time since early 2001, some analysts and investors are abandoning the yellow metal, proclaiming that gold’s decade-long bull market has run its course.

 Why Michael Pento Should Just Keep His Mouth Shut  |

One aspect of technology is that it takes intellectual capacity along with consistent and diligent effort to become competent.Michael Pento, a fairly prominent gold bug, recently appeared on CNBC for a discussion on Bitcoin. Based on his performance the only thing I could think of was, ‘This has to be an April Fools joke. Then my mind shifted to the phrase that it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.’

| Technical Analysis ? Put Egos Aside & Respect the Charts |
| Case-based ?White Paper? on the importance of unbiased TA:I would like to repeat the idea that it is best to subordinate yourself to markets at all times. To put your ego aside or at least check it daily to make sure it is not leading you astray. The gold bug ego for example, hardened by a solid decade-plus of relentless bull market is in my opinion too set in its ways on balance. That is because it is an ego that knows it is right.Using a log scale chart, which is better for illustrating trendThursday, March 28, 2013 |

| A Quick Way To Buy The Silver Juniors |
| There are several ways to time the launch of a new exchange traded fund (ETF).
One is to strike while a sector is hot, pull in a lot of trend-following money
and accept that the fund's performance might be mediocre, since the hotter
the sector the more due it is for a correction. That's how it went for the
Market Vectors Junior Gold Mine ETF (GDXJ), which nearly doubled in its first
