Are you investing for the short, medium or long term? Or are you diversifying, saving or using gold as a form of financial insurance?Wednesday, March 3, 2021 |

| John Hathaway: Gold and bitcoin are attacked to defend government currencies |
| John Hathaway's latest market letter for Tocqueville Asset Management may get as close to a complaint of gold price suppression as anyone can while retaining some respectability in the financial industry. Hathaway writes that there have been efforts to drive down not only gold but also the cryptocurrency bitcoin because of the competition they pose to government currencies.
Hathaway writes:

| The Existence of Evil |
| In these last days science has retrograded and been driven back. It has been bent and twisted under the obligation imposed upon it, if I may so speak, of denying the existence of Evil under pain of being convicted of denying the existence of God.Writers whose business it is to display exquisite sensibility, unbounded philanthropy, and unrivaled devotion to religion, have got into the way of saying, “Evil cannot enter into the providential plan.

But prices for gold and silver have started moving higher over the past two years. Gold is up 22% from the December 2015 low of $1,050 to $1,282 today.

“In the absence of a credible monetary standard, we expect no escape from the treadmill of rising debt, both US and globally, that outpaces economic growth. Income inequality, wage stagnation, overvaluation of financial assets, and speculation instead of productive investment are likely to be prolonged under the current monetary regime. Whether or not policy makers take a proactive approach to address monetary reform, the fact remains that gold is massively underpriSaturday, April 22, 2017 |

| Tocqueville Asset Management/John Hathaway/01-05-17
[T]here is a shortage of physical metal at current prices that promises to deepen, masked only by the supply of synthetic gold not backed by physical. Given full transparency, the shortage would argue for a much higher gold price based on price discovery unimpeded by synthetic-gold trading.

Can the gold investment industry do anything to hasten the day, or should the industry remain content to collect fees and commissions all the way to the supposed inevitability, even though by then most of its investors may be dead?
