Commodity Prices in US Dollars 1831-1881, Gold @US$20.67  |
| All prices for all commodities were remarkably stable during this period in which gold was fixed at US$20.67 per ounce by the US Treasury from the time of our country's founding. Gold remained at that price until Congress surrendered its authority to the Federal Reserve in 1913. So, an ounce of gold would have exchanged for 20 silver dollars. This means of commerce would have been accurately termed a "Gold Coin Exchange Standard", and NOT a "gold standard", as the money was in the hands of the pThursday, July 25, 2019 |

The Metal of Hope  |
| In history gold alone has been the money of Kings. However, throughout most of recorded time there has been a metal far more important to the average man than gold. In the ancient of days it was silver alone that could provide the means for a slave to save and eventually purchase his freedom which is why silver became referred to as the Metal of Hope.Wednesday, July 17, 2019 |

 Silver Investing Chapter 5 : Alternative Silver Investing |
| If mining stocks did not provide enough leverage, there are still other avenues that offer even more leverage than mining shares. The decision to use leverage in a precious metals purchase is a decision to accept a greater percentage of risk relative to your capital outlay.

| Is Money Created by Government Decree |
| According to popular view people accept money because of a government decree.1 A government decree it is argued makes a particular thing accepted as a general medium of exchange. But, does it make sense?Demand for a good arises from its perceived benefit. For instance, people demand food because of the nourishment it offers them. It is different with money people demand it not for direct use in consumption but in order to exchange it for other goods and services.Money is not useful in itself, buThursday, July 4, 2019 |

| We have been talking about The Midas Paradox (2015), by Scott Sumner.
July 23, 2017: The Midas Paradox (2015), by Scott Sumner.
As you probably guessed from the three-word title, the book can be summarized in two words, which are: “blame gold.”
This, as we have seen, is actually a relatively new notion, even if it enjoys some popularity today. The general consensus, which later (after 1950) became the Keynesian consensus, did not blame gold, or indeed, monetary policy in general, for the Great DWednesday, July 3, 2019 |

 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 |

| Miles Franklin has been in business for 27 years – with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating, and not a single registered complaint since opened our doors in 1989. The company is still owned by the father and son team that founded it, Andy and David Schectman; and our brokers, on average, have been selling bullion since the early 1980s. For a variety of reasons – from our sterling reputation; to competitive sale prices; the industry’s best “buyback” prices (particularly for Miles Franklin custoFriday, April 19, 2019 |

| Commodities are hot once again after a disastrous performance at the end of 2018 when energy prices collapsed and the escalating U.S.-China trade war spooked investors. 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 |
