 Suffering Gold |
| Gold continues to suffer under a cloud of bearish expectations. Its price has been trending lower for some 20 months now - and, at recent lows, it is off some 30 percent from the September 2011 all-time high of $1924.
A growing number of investors, analysts, and journalists are already writing obituaries for the decade-long bull market and foresee only a grim future for the yellow metal. These naysayers, most prominently economist Nouriel Roubini who gained some renown for predicting the finanTuesday, June 18, 2013 |

PLEASE Get your Assets out of the Banking System  |
| I have pleaded with investors for years to get their assets out of the banking system.
One of the very few men who understands what is happening within the financial system has done the same. Time and time again he is both advising and imploring investors to protect themselves by getting out of the financial system and to own physical gold stored in private vaults in safe jurisdictions. Jim has also advised investors in detail how to achieve direct registration of their precious metals stocks.

| Jay Taylor: In Precious Metals, Cash Flow Is King |
| The Gold Report: Many believe that the price of gold represents a market referendum on the value of paper money and the health of the world economy. Do you agree?
Jay Taylor: Yes, I do. Gold rose from the mid-$200s/ounce (mid-$200/oz) in 2002 to as high as $1,900/oz. That clearly suggests that things are not all right in the global economy. Politicians like to create the illusion that they can create something out of nothing and give it to people in exchange for votes. Gold gets in the way of tMonday, June 17, 2013 |

Global Times - Hard lessons from China's silver standard  |

[08:30 July 15 2009]
Chinese macroeconomic historian Ray Huang used to say the Qing Dynasty never understood monetary and fiscal policy, and therefore was unable to compete against the West. In those days, monetary policy in China was essentially tied to silver, the national money standard since tMonday, June 17, 2013 |

| Inflation Is Instantaneous |
| The financial mania climaxed as a complete bubble in 2007. Virtually, this replicated
the conclusion of all of the great bubbles since the first in 1720. As with
the 1929 and 1873 examples, its culmination was anticipated by the treasury
yield curve reversing from inverted to steepening. In 2007 this key reversal
counted out to that June and the curve reversed in that fateful May.
The features of the post-bubble contraction include severe recessions and
weak recoveries. This has, indeFriday, June 14, 2013 |

 Don’t Dismiss the Possibility of Gold Confiscation |
| If you hold precious metals in your portfolio, there is a good chance you fear hyperinflation and the crash of fiat currencies.
You probably distrust governments in general and believe they are self-serving and have no interest in your economic well-being. It is likely that your holdings in gold are your lifeline – your hope to get you through these times while holding on to your wealth.
But have you ever given any thought to the possibility of having this lifeline confiscated by the authoriThursday, June 06, 2013 |

| Echoes from the Summer of 1929 |
| Our forecast for the Dow Industrials calls for a blowoff top at 16810, about 1,700 points above Friday’s settlement price. Using proprietary technical tools, we have identified this “Hidden Pivot” target as one to keep firmly in mind — not only as a major rally target, but as a place to lay out shorts aggressively ahead of a possible avalanche. As noted here earlier, however, despite the bullish prediction, we’re keeping one foot on the fire escape, since the risk of a historical collapse at aMonday, June 03, 2013 |

 The General Theory of Authoritarianism |
| Address to the Spring Dinner of the Committee for Monetary Research and Education
(cmre.org)
There are any number of names that can be used to describe the Administration's
policies. However, in this polite assembly it is best to stay with what is
printable and ask the question about which description fits best?
It is hard to avoid terms that have become derogatory epithets. Liberal is
one, progressive-Democrat is another. And then there is communist, socialist,

| I think you will find this to be thought provoking, even though you may not agree with all which they say.
Keep in mind that in the US currently there is a record disparity between the haves and the 'have enough to just get by.'
So when one talks about economic states and statistics, and they are naturally referring to the familiar averages and norms, in fact there may be much fewer people there at the average than usual.

| Stable Prices, Unstable Markets |
| According to European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke sees no risk of inflation in the United
States. According to Nowotny, Bernanke had given a “very optimistic” portrayal of the US outlook.
“They see absolutely no danger of an expansion in inflation,” Nowotny said. Bernanke had said US inflation should be 1.3 percent this
year.
Fed forecasts put inflation by the end of this year in a range of 1.3 to 1.7 percent. The yearly rate ofThursday, May 23, 2013 |

| Repeat after us: There is zero chance the Fed is going to tighten…zero chance…zero chance…zero chance. We’ve made this point so often here that it is has practically become a mantra at Rick’s Picks. It has also been amplified, refracted and explicated – though not hotly debated – in our forum, where there are apparently few who expect any change in Fed policy. As how could there be?

| Federal Reserve Blows More Bubbles |
| Last week at its regular policy-setting meeting, the Federal Reserve announced
it would double down on the policies that have failed to produce anything
but a stagnant economy. It was a disappointing, but not surprising, move.
The Fed affirmed that it is prepared to increase its monthly purchases of
Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities if things don't start looking up.
But actually the Fed has already been buying more than the announced $85 billion

Undeterred by those who fail to heed his warnings, Dr. Paul suggests that global economic conditions, spearheaded by out-of-control government policies in the United States, will continue to deteriorate until such time that the whole system comes unhinged.

| Wagner's opera Gotterdämmerung is about the twighlight of pagan gods. The most powerful of the latter-day pagan gods that has been guiding the destinies of humanity for the past two-score of years is Irredeemable Debt. Before August 14, 1971, debts were obligations, and the word "bond" was to mean literally what it said: the opposite of freedom. The privilege of issuing debt had a countervailing responsibility: that of repayment.Friday, May 03, 2013 |

| How the Fed creates bull and bear markets |
| Bull and bear markets don't just happen - they're created by the Federal Reserve. While few investors dispute the power that Fed interest rate policy has on the market, the extent to which it influences the direction of stock prices in both directions is often downplayed. Moreover, the health of the economy is often decided by the Fed's interest rate policy.While it's no secret that loose monetary policy on the Fed's part benefits stocks and can lead to credit bubbles, researchers tend to undeFriday, May 03, 2013 |
