 How Much Gold Should Someone Own Where and How To Own It  |
| Periodically I receive questions on gold ownership. How much should one own, and where?
Let's start with the first question:
How Much Gold Should Someone Own?
There is no fixed answer, but rather a general methodology that I like:
Do not invest outside your comfort zone.
Think in terms of percentages, not fixed amounts.
For some, 10% is too much, for others 30% is too little.
Some do not trust anything else and are willing to hold a huge percentage of their assets in gold
If a 30% declineSunday, June 23, 2019 |

| Should Self-Sufficient Countries Trade |
| Countries that are self-sufficient have enough resources to meet the demands
of their citizens. Such countries do not need to trade, but there is
advantage to be gained by trading. These benefits are three-fold: reduced prices,
a tradable surplus, and/or reduced work hours for their citizens.
I will illustrate this principle using two commodities - spice and coal -
from two hypothetical countries: Zamunda and Elbonia. For this illustration
we need to agree on the following assumption:

| Why Own Gold The Top 10 Reasons to Buy Gold Now |
| Is gold a good investment? Why should you own it?It’s natural and even prudent for an investor to wonder if a particular asset is a good investment or not. That’s especially true for gold, since it’s an inert metal and doesn’t earn any interest.But the reasons for owning physical gold go beyond the possibility of its price rising. Gold bullion offers distinct advantages that simply can’t be found in almost any other investment. These advantages give you power as an investor. And yes, one of thesSaturday, May 18, 2019 |

| Real Bills, Phony Wealth |
| "The masses are misled by the assertions of the pseudo-experts,” wrote Mises, “that cheap money can make them prosperous at no expense whatever.” The damage that this inflationary fallacy has done to our monetary institutions cannot be over-estimated. In spite of efforts by classical and Austrian economists to refute it, it refuses to die. It has been resurrected under many guises, but all with the same error at its core: that printing money can create real wealth.Monday, May 13, 2019 |

| The Fundamental Difference between Fairs and Markets |
| The word fair, which is derived from forum, a public square, was originally synonymous with that of market, and is still so in certain respects. Both signify a gathering of sellers and buyers at a set time and place, but the word fair seems to present the idea of a more numerous, more solemn, and consequently, less common gathering. The use of these two words in ordinary language appears to be determined by this distinction, which is immediately perceptible, but which itself arises from a less oFriday, May 10, 2019 |

At the start of 2019, however, the sentiment is quite different from the fourth quarter of 2018—signs have started to emerge that the world’s two biggest economies will reach some sort of a trade deal.Investors are plowing money back into specialized commodities funds with billions of U.S. dollars of inflows into assets under mMonday, April 15, 2019 |

 What should the gold/silver ratio be |
| The price of gold is dominated by investment demand* to such an extent that nothing else matters as far as its price performance is concerned. Investment demand is also the most important driver of silver’s price trend, although in silver’s case industrial demand is also a factor to be reckoned with. In addition, changes in mine supply have some effect on the silver market, because unlike the situation in the gold market the annual supply of newly-mined silver is not trivial relative to the exisFriday, April 5, 2019 |

The Myth of the Gold Supply Deficit  |
| Analyses based on annual supply and demand of gold appear on a daily basis, whether posted to gold web sites or in the financial media, many of them by the most respected analysts of gold mining shares. These articles typically show an imbalance between supply and demand, suggesting that there is a gold supply deficit. From there, the conclusion follows that a much higher gold price is required in order to bring supply and demand into balance.Wednesday, March 27, 2019 |

| The Story of Gold Money, Past, Present and Future, by Edwin Walter Kemmerer |
| There aren’t a lot of good books about the gold standard — the monetary system of the world until 1971 — after WWI. There aren’t a lot before WWI either, but it starts to get pretty bad after 1920. Ralph Hawtrey’s books have some merits, but they also have too many errors to serve as a definitive source.
Gold and the Gold Standard: The Story of Gold Money, Past, Present and Future (1944) is something of an exception to this pattern. Edwin Walter Kemmerer was a professor at Princeton.

| Valuing Mining Stocks - In Defense Of Net Asset Value |
| While browsing the various fundamental evaluations of mining companies made by investors on internet message boards, I have consistently seen two valuation methodologies - the in situ method and the cash flow method - used frequently, while the traditional net asset value (NAV) method used by professionals is neglected or not used at all. The NAV method, I believe, is superior to the other two, and the following is a defense of this valuation technique.Thursday, March 14, 2019 |

| One’s motivation for buying gold is fundamental to deciding in which form you should buy it. Are you a speculator, investor or saver? Do you wish to take a short term speculative position in gold? Are you investing for the short, medium or long term? Or are you diversifying, saving or using gold as a form of financial insurance?Sunday, March 10, 2019 |

| Why We Now Measure Gold in Dollars — and Not the Other Way Around |
| Prior to 1933, the name "dollar" was used to refer to a unit of gold that had a weight of 23.22 grains. Since there are 480 grains in one ounce, this means that the name dollar also stood for 0.048 ounce of gold. This in turn, means that one ounce of gold referred to $20.67.Observe that $20.67 is not the price of one ounce of gold in terms of dollars as popular thinking has it, for there is no such entity as a dollar. Dollar is just a name for 0.048 ounce of gold. On this Rothbard wrote,No one pSunday, February 24, 2019 |
