| What Is Key for the Price Formation of Gold |
| Robert Blumen discusses some important but widely misunderstood elements acting on the gold price. He explains that frequently cited gold demand statistics have no relationship to the gold price. In addition, he explains that the annual gold mine production is of very little influence, as gold is hoarded, not consumed like other commodities.

| Olympic Athletes Could Soon Face Being Microchipped ‘Like Dogs’ To Compete |
| While some say microchipping humans is the wave of the future, others think it could be the Biblical “mark of the beast.” Regardless, the next group to face the potentiality of being microchipped like dogs are Olympic athletes.
According to WND, the head of an association of Olympic athletes wants to require anyone who participates in the Summer or Winter Games to be implanted with a tracking chip to prevent the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Mike Miller, the CEO of the World Olympians AssoFriday, October 20, 2017 |

| Falling Productivity of Debt |
| Last week, we discussed the ongoing fall of dividend, and especially earnings, yields. This Report is not a stock letter, and we make no stock market predictions. We talk about this phenomenon to make a different point. The discount rate has fallen to a very low level indeed.
Discount in stocks is how you assess the present-day value of earnings to occur in the future. For example, if the discount rate is 10%, then a dollar of earnings per share at Acme Piping next year is worth $0.90 today. AtWednesday, October 18, 2017 |

| From the Slope of Hope: Earlier this week, my son asked me a sincere question: "How come Marissa Mayer got $200 million by screwing up Yahoo?"
It was a good question, and one I had trouble answering at first, because I'd like him to think that there's some level of fairness, meritocracy, and sensibility to this world of ours. In Mayer's case, however, there is none. Her entire massive fortune is due to being in the right place, at the right time, on multiple occasions. She is no more clever or sSunday, April 30, 2017 |

Would the first group have to form a market?
Would the second group have to form a state?
My guess is the first group would hear the growling in their stomachs and cop out of the experiment. Plus they’d miss the fun of intimidating taxpayers, policing the world, hunting down and incarceratingFriday, October 7, 2016 |

Please consider this clip from the British TV show “Yes Minister”.

 The "Income Inequality" Debate Is Not About Income Inequality |
| As I see it, the problem of “income inequality” is not, for the most
part, a problem of income inequality. When capitalism is working
well, people do not particularly dislike the super-wealthy. If
anything, they are celebrities and even heroes.
For example: Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Alexander Rodriguez, Oprah
Winfrey
These people are super-rich. But, they also brought something

| Analysis of Obama's Plan to Save the World From Greenhouse Gasses |
| By executive order, president Obama has acted to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the US, allegedly to halt global warming. However, greenhouse gas production is a global thing so it's important to consider global ramifications of US policy decisions.
Starting with Europe's carbon cap-and-trade, let's take a look at global events and policies to see if Obama's plan has any chance of success.
