 Silver: Will it Drop to $ 10/ounce?  |
| The bull market of the silver price started towards the end of 2001. On the way from $ 4.02 to the recent intraday all-time high of $ 48.42 (an increase of 1,104%), several significant corrections took place, the most severe one in 2008 when the silver price sank by 57% only to jump 441% to a new all-time high.Wednesday, June 19, 2013 |

| Market Calls Fed's Bluff |
| The Fed has recently expressed a desire to begin winding down its Quantitative
Easing program in the next few months. This would be the first step towards
the eventual raising of interest rates. Mr. Bernanke and the other members
of our central bank believe the normalization of interest rates would occur
within the context of robust markets and rising GDP growth.
However, it seems the Fed has only succeeded in duping some perennial bulls

| 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 |

| Low Interest Rate Addictions |
| It is amazing so many investors are oblivious to the fact that the developed
world is completely addicted to artificially-produced low interest rates.
Perhaps that is why there is still a debate over whether the ending of QE
will adversely affect the economy, and if rising rates can occur within the
context of a healthy economy.
It isn't so much about whether or not QE is about to end, or even if growth
is now causing interest rates to become unglued. The truth is the end of QE

| Were you to look at official government statistics that calculate our rate of price inflation for food, energy, clothing, and other consumer goods, you’d think that prices were as stable today as they were under the gold standard.
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the CPI (Consumer Price Index) inflation rate remains well below the Federal Reserve’s 2.5% threshold. Insofar as the government is concerned America’s core inflation rate is just 1.7%, a testament to the economic prowesSunday, June 02, 2013 |

 Just Remember… They’ve been telling your Gold is a barbaric relic for decades now ! |
| Whatever you do, gold and silver investors, don't ever forget how they claimed gold and silver were mere trinkets, not worthy of consideration as backing for money. Keep this one point firmly etched front and center for all to see. Never let it go out of sight for even one moment. For if the politicians, the bankers, the Treasury officials, various spokesmen for the Fed, or the money powers ever go back on that claim, you will have all the proof you will ever need that their claim was nothing but a longstanding hoax perpetrated to rob blind the uninformed and unconcerned "sheople". Let's just make sure they stay with that viewpoint and take it to their grave. If not they will clearly be coming after your gold and silver in an attempt to make it theirs. They may even be so bold to use the well worn line, "I am from the government and I am here to help you."Thursday, May 30, 2013 |

| 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
