What 10-Baggers (and 100-Baggers) Look Like |
Now that it appears clear the bottom is in for gold, it’s time to stop fretting about how low prices will drop and how long the correction will last—and start looking at how high they’ll go and when they’ll get there.
When viewing the gold market from a historical perspective, one thing that’s clear is that the junior mining stocks tend to fluctuate between extreme boom and bust cycles. As a group, they’ll double in price, then crash by 75%... then double or triple or even quadruple again, onlSunday, October 11, 2020 |

Global Times - Hard lessons from China's silver standard |
History will repeat, but this time around America will not be able to coin silver Trade Dollars to conduct trade with Asia. Oops. Oh, where O where did my empire go?

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 tWednesday, June 10, 2020 |

A Golden Anchor for the Dollar |
Dr Warren Coats, former Chief of the SDR with the title Assistant Director of the Monetary and Financial Systems Department at the IMF penned an article on a return to the gold standard in 2013 – A Hard Anchor for the Dollar. Not a classic gold standard, but an “updated version” of a gold standard that would allow for entities like the IMF, World Bank and BIS to stay involved and be part of the global banking system. This would allow these global banks to continue dictating monetary policy and cTuesday, January 2, 2018 |

Silver Miners’ Q3’17 Fundamentals |
The
silver miners’ stocks have really languished this year, grinding
sideways to lower for months on end. This vexing consolidation has
fueled near-universal bearishness, leaving silver stocks deeply out
of favor. But once a quarter when earnings season arrives, hard
fundamentals pierce the obscuring veil of popular sentiment. The
silver miners’ recently-reported Q3’17 results reveal today’s silver
prices remain profitable.

Turning Point Nations On The Stage |
Many are the turning points with individual nations, once firmly in the Western alliance camp, but no longer. They are flipping eastward or in the case of China cutting the major cords. The Shanghai developments are by far the most important in the financial setting. The Petro-Dollar is seeing its last months after a 43-year reign as defacto standard. Its retirement will begin in the East, then spread to the decaying loyal Western nations. The entire geopolitical chessboard is becoming more aligThursday, October 12, 2017 |

Bad Ideas About Money, Bitcoin, and Gold Report |
Most false or irrational ideas about money are
not new. For example, take the idea that government can just fix the price of
one monetary asset against another. Some people think that we can have a gold
standard by such a decree today. This idea goes back at least as far as the
Coinage Act of 1792, when the government fixed 371.25 grains of silver to the
same value as 24.75 grains of gold, or a ratio of 15 to 1. This caused problems
because the market valued silver a bit lower than that.

The logic of a modern gold standard |
In last week’s Insight, I analysed the current geopolitical situation and concluded that it was now in the interest of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation to break from the US dollar completely, by establishing a new monetary and banking systemi. By linking the yuan and rouble to gold, the SCO’s principal currencies would be insulated from manipulation by means of dollar currency rates, and their use as a weapon to undermine the Sino-Russian partnership.

Government Silver Sales Have Totally Dried Up… WHY |
Before the turn of the century, Central Banks sold a record 97 million oz of silver into the market in 1999. This was great deal of silver as it accounted for 17% of total global mine supply that year. Over the next 14 years, Central Banks continued to sell a substantial amount of silver to supplement the market.However, silver supply from Central Banks has totally dried up over the past three years….. Why? Well, the answer is quite simple when we understand the data. Central Banks silver stFriday, May 26, 2017 |
