. The Periodic Table lists elements in order of atomic weight. At 47 on the table, silver is represented by 'Ag' from argentum, the Latin description for white, shiny metal.
. Silver is one of the seven so-called 'metals of antiquity' which mankind identified and found uses for thousands of years ago.

| Why bad economic theories remain popular |
| Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, the most prominent “Austrian” economists of the time, anticipated the 1929 stock market crash and correctly predicted the dire consequences of government attempts to artificially stimulate economic growth in the aftermath of the crash. John Maynard Keynes, on the other hand, was totally blindsided by the stock market crash and the economic disaster of the early 1930s. And yet, Keynes’s theories gained enormous popularity during the 1930s whereas the work of Saturday, May 12, 2018 |

Disregard financial calamity, malfunctioning governments and lying sleazebag politicians leading us down the garden path.

 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 exisWednesday, April 18, 2018 |

| Supply Crunch Or Oil Glut: Investment Banks Can't Agree |
| In recent years, U.S. shale has thrown in another unknown in the mix of factors
driving the price of oil. This year, shale output forecasts combine with OPEC's
production cuts, geopolitical factors, and unexpected outages to further complicate
supply/demand and oil price forecasts by Wall Street's major investment banks.
The biggest banks remain bullish on
oil prices, expecting moderate price gains by the end of the year, even after

| 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.Saturday, March 24, 2018 |

| Is the Economic Summer Coming |
| Cycles, cycles everywhere. We’ve already discussed the current state of the U.S. business cycle, arguing that the expansion should last for a while, although it is more advanced than in Europe. However, business cycles aren’t the only creatures living in an economic zoo. They are simply the most popular within the modern macroeconomics. The post-war business cycles lasted, on average, almost 6 years. But economists distinguished also shorter cycles, called Kitchin inventory cycles, which are belSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

| Punch-drunk from a series of crunching blows, dazed and confused, staggering for the ropes. It’s hard not to get the image of Bitcoin being pummeled by the market, getting the wind knock out of it. But is this picture true? Instead of focusing on what swirls around in the media, a cautious investor would instead reach out for what might drive their profits.
Google has moved to ban Bitcoin-related adds. This shouldn’t be particularly surprising, given the fact that there’s been precedent in the fSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

| Gold Miners’ Q4’17 Fundamentals |
| The
gold miners’ stocks remain deeply out of favor, trading at prices
seen when gold was half or even a quarter of current levels. So
many traders assume this small contrarian sector must be really
struggling fundamentally. But nothing could be farther from the
truth! The major gold miners’ recently-released Q4’17 results prove
they are thriving. Their languishing stock prices are the result of
irrational herd sentiment.

| The egregious errors of static statistics |
| The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Lord Macaulay wrote this nearly two hundred years ago. His aphorism is particularly apposite of modern politicians, and also of the modern state itself, which is meant to be selfless in the interest of the common good. We can be certain that when a person moves from outside to inside the machinery of the state, he or she changes from representing the people to representing the state.

| Bank Stocks Lead Gold Stocks Higher |
| As the world transitions from deflation to inflation, investors need to engage in serious sector rotation or they risk being left behind.
Income growth in China/India, US government tax cuts, central bank rate hikes, and quantitative tightening are the main fundamental forces of this transition.
The paint is barely dry on Trump’s first tranche of tax cuts, and he’s already talking about round two!

| How Will Gold Prices Behave During The Next Economic Crisis |
| This report was originally published by Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.com
It is generally well known in economic circles and in the general public that precious metals, including gold, tend to be the go-to investment during times of fiscal uncertainty. There is a good reason for this. Precious metals have foundation qualities that provide trade stability; these include inherent rarity (rather than artificially engineered rarity such as that associated with cryptocurrencies), tangibility (you can Tuesday, March 13, 2018 |

| Given the way markets have stagnated in recent years under unprecedented amounts of central bank management and distortion, it can be easy to think that what’s happening will continue indefinitely.

| The Best Way to Compete with China Is to Free the Economy |
| As things stand, China holds around 20 percent, or $ 1.2 trillion, of outstanding US credit market debt. This is the result of decades of “symbiotic interaction”, if one follows the hidden message that is embedded in the neologism “Chinamerica”: Americans consume more goods from China than they export to China, and the Chinese are willingly financing the US trade deficit with their “over-savings” by holding dollars and US dollar-denominated debt. In 2017 alone, it amounted to $ 375 billion.For aMonday, March 12, 2018 |
