| Congressman criticizes U.S. Mint for inaction on counterfeit precious metal coins |
| WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Alex Mooney, R-West Virginia, criticized the United States Mint for its "disappointing and concerning" lack of awareness or action on the growing problem of high-quality counterfeits of U.S. precious-metals coins entering the country from China and elsewhere.
In a letter dated March 6, Rep. Mooney took the U.S. Mint to task on its perfunctory one-page response to a prior letter that he and Rep. Frank Lucas sent last October asking for information as to whether and to whatMonday, March 12, 2018 |

| What Happens If Crypto Profits Come Back Into Precious Metals |
| In a recent interview on Sprott Money News, legendary investor Eric Sprott mentioned a potential factor that could be a spark in the gold and silver markets. Specifically, he wondered what might happen if crypto profits continue to grow and some of them are recycled into the gold and silver space.
While many in the gold and silver community are skeptical about the crypto sector, there is also a lot of overlap. Many of the crypto supporters have a Libertarian background, and Bitcoin was essentialSaturday, December 23, 2017 |

| COMEX and ICE Gold Vault Reports both Overstate Eligible Gold Inventory |
| Introduction
In the world of gold market reportage, much is written about gold futures prices, with the vast majority of reporting concentrating on the CME’s COMEX contracts. Indeed, when it comes to COMEX gold, a veritable cottage industry of websites and commentators makes its bread and butter commentating on COMEX gold price gyrations and the scraps of news connected to the COMEX. The reason for the commentators’ COMEX fixation is admittedly because that’s where the trading volume is. But sucSaturday, December 24, 2016 |

| The pending Brexit has,
not surprisingly, caused a shakeup in the investment world, particularly in the

 Yet another precious metal manipulation investigation  |

| After a dismal April-to-June period, the gold price notched its first quarterly gain in a year during the third quarter that ended last Monday. However, the start of the fourth quarter on Tuesday ushered in one of the worst sell-offs in months. Amid more calls of market manipulation, this came just as the U.S. government began a shutdown that is now in its sixth day and quickly transitioning into a debt ceiling debate and potential crisis.
