| China has signaled it is going to propose plans this year to allow freer flows of the Yuan both in and out of the nation as part of measures to loosen control over the Yuan and interest rates. It was expected that full and free convertibility after 2022, but it's clear that the program is moving at an accelerated pace.

| Crash Proof Your Portfolio |
| With the stock market seemingly reaching new highs every day, should we worry about a crash that puts an end to the party? If so, how should investors prepare? Let us explain. Golden canaries in the coalmine?In the 1980s, portfolio insurance was all the rage. The idea was that one could always buy stocks, as derivatives could protect one's portfolio on the downside. However, things turned from bad to worse in 1987 when the linkage between stocks and commoditiesWednesday, May 22, 2013 |

| How George Topping Is Profiting from Copper Price Volatility |
| The Metals Report: George, what do Doctor Copper and other indicators tell you about global economic performance over the medium term?George Topping: You can't take the value of any commodity as a true indicator of physical demand these days. For example, a fortnight ago, copper prices shot up 6% from $3 per pound ($3/lb) to $3.19/lb in a heartbeat. That resulted from financial players pushing the copper price around. It represents what the financial markets think of the world economy. The indicWednesday, May 22, 2013 |

| Investors versus Traders: A Battle for Oil & Gas Profits |
| The Energy Report: Looking back to your last interview with The Energy Report in November, you seem to have called the bottom in gas prices correctly. What's your view of where things are headed now?Robert Cooper: We expect a reasonably robust pricing scenario ahead. Here's why: In 2013, we will likely see flat natural gas supply growth; this will be the first year in the last several that this will be the case. The natural gas rig count is at 350, the lowest since 1995. The declining rig count Tuesday, May 21, 2013 |

| The Gold Report: After the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Convention in March, you said that the next 12?18 months could define how investors, speculators and mining companies perceive and value both the junior and major mining sectors. That was before the volatility of mid-April. With higher production costs being the new normal, what percentage of miners can make money at the current gold price?

 Velocity of Money and the Crack-Up Boom |
| Based on both recent history and mainstream economic theory the past few years
should not have been possible. When you cut interest rates to near-zero, run
deficits of 10% of GDP and buy up every government bond in sight with newly
created currency, you get a boom, end of story. That's just the way capitalism
works.
But this time was different. After four years of QE and ZIRP and all the other
easy-money acronyms, we entered the month of May with Europe in a deepening

| When central banks buy stocks |
| The investment story of the year to date is the central bank-led financial market recovery. While everyone is aware of the impact the Fed's $85 billion-a-month asset purchases is having on stocks, few investors realize that central banks are making direct purchases of stocks. The implication of this new development is shocking. Bank of America stated that global central banks have cut rates an incredible 511 times since June 2007 in an effort at re-inflating the global economy. "Most centralSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

| SPX Topping Extremes |
| The levitating stock markets continue to seductively entrance traders, powering to new nominal record highs day after day after day. No one believes a meaningful selloff is even possible anymore, thanks to the vast deluge of central-bank monetary inflation. Sheer euphoria has set in as all perception of risk has vanished. This makes these stock markets extraordinarily dangerous, they are truly at topping extremes. As of Wednesday, the flagship S&P 500 stock indSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

| A Wounded Bull |
| It's already been a month since gold fell almost $200 in two trading days.
This head-spinning drop damaged the bull market. It broke the back of a STRONG
market, but that doesn't necessarily mean the mega uptrend is over.
Our first potential downside target level for gold at the $1300 to $1450 level
was reached. And we could see gold decline further in the months ahead before
a bottom is found.
Down, But Not Out ...
As of the mid-April low, gold is down about 19% for the year. If golFriday, May 17, 2013 |

 U.S. Congress Seeks to Replace the Base Metal of Most American Coins With Steel |
| A measure introduced in the U.S. Congress seeks to replace the base metal of most American coins with steel. The move would slash the nickel and copper content of U.S. coins to a fraction of today’s already reduced levels. Like past changes in metal content, the bill represents a logical continuation of currency debasement and calls into question the strength of U.S. fiat currency—yet another sign of the decline of the global monetary system.

| Daren Oddenino: How to Spot Oil and Gas Takeout Targets |
| The Energy Report: Interest in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the oil and gas space seems to be picking up. Pioneer Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (PXD:NYSE) made headlines last January when it sold 207,000 net acres of its Wolfcamp shale leases to Sinochem Group (00817:HK) for $1.7 billion. Does this signal a trend of international companies investing in North American shale plays at a premium?"International players have a lot to gain by establishing a foothold in North America."
