 Does Gold Keep up in Hyperinflation  |
| Inflation is anatural consequence of loose government monetary policy. If those policies get too loose, hyperinflation can occur. As gold investors,we'd like to know if the precious metals would keep pace in this extreme scenario.
Hyperinflation is an extremely rapid period of inflation, but when does inflation (which can be manageable) cross the line and become out-of-control hyperinflation? PhilipCagan, one of the very first researchers of this phenomenon, defines hyperinflation as "an inflation rate of 50% or more in a single month, "something largely inconceivable to the average investor.Monday, August 19, 2019 |

 What Did J.P. Morgan Mean |
| The following exchange occurred on December 18, 1912 when J.P. Morgan – the most influential American financier and banker of his time – was called to testify before Congress.
Mr Untermyer:
I want to ask you a few questions bearing on the subject that you have touched upon this morning, as to the control of money. The control of credit involves a control of money, does it not?
Mr Morgan:
A control of credit? No.

| Understanding Open Interest |
| Techniques for analysing and trading equities, looking at price and volume, can be applied to precious metal futures markets. Futures, however, introduce another data point – open interest – that has to be considered. With equities, the quantity of shares on issue is generally fixed and rarely changes. Therefore all buying is done from sellers who hold the shares.
With futures, the amount of contracts “on issue” or “open” changes daily, as a future is a contract to trade metal in the future andTuesday, August 13, 2019 |

 12 astonishing things about gold |
| As gold coin makers, we get to work with one of the most amazing materials in the Universe.
Here are 12 astonishing features we’ve found cited about precious gold:
· Gold is made in supernovas – massive cosmic explosions that hurl out materials which gather together to form planets.
· Most of Earth’s gold is buried too deep to be recoverable.Monday, July 22, 2019 |

| The Fiasco of Fiat Money |
| I. Today's worldwide paper-, or "fiat-," money regime is an economically and socially destructive scheme — with far-reaching and seriously harmful economic and societal consequences, effects that extend beyond what most people would imagine.
Fiat money is inflationary; it benefits a few at the expense of many others; it causes boom-and-bust cycles; it leads tooverindebtedness; it corrupts society's morals; and it will ultimately end in a depression on a grand scale.Thursday, July 11, 2019 |

| Blame Gold |
| 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 |

Today we take a look at the London gold market, an older and arguably larger market than COMEX.
A couple of weeks ago we explained how we had ‘found that the COMEX was still the beating heart of the gold market.’ Since this research piece, Bron Sucheki, whose work featured in our last piece,Wednesday, June 26, 2019 |

| (-1780) Gold and Silver in the Code of Hammurabi |
| When Anu the Sublime, King of the Anunaki, and Bel, the lord of Heaven and earth, who decreed the fate of the land, assigned to Marduk, the over-ruling son of Ea, God of righteousness, dominion over earthly man, and made him great among the Igigi, they called Babylon by his illustrious name, made it great on earth, and founded an everlasting kingdom in it, whose foundations are laid so solidly as those of heaven and earth; then Anu and Bel called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared God, to bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, to destroy the wicked and the evil-doers; so that the strong should not harm the weak; so that I should rule over the black-headed people like Shamash, and enlighten the land, to further the well-being of mankind.Monday, June 17, 2019 |

| Copernicus, Galileo and Gold. Part I |
| We are deceived when we consent to think about the “price of gold”. At the very outset of our thoughts regarding gold, we are wrong, just as astronomers prior to Copernicus were wrong in thinking about the solar system as geo-centric, with the Sun, Moon and planets describing perfect circles around Earth. Gold is - to follow the astronomical simile - the center of the monetary universe, and the planets - the currencies - circle the Sun, which represents gold.

| The Nonexistent 'Social Costs' of a Gold Standard System |
| One of the odd notions that has come down through the years is that a
gold standard system has “social costs.” It does not. It creates a
profit.
Of course, it does take effort to dig gold out of the ground. However,
gold production never ceased after the end of the world gold standard
in 1971. Roughly half of all the gold ever mined, in all of history,
has been mined after 1971. Annual production today is the highest in
history, and about double what it was in 1970. People seem happy to

| Understanding money and prices |

And why gold, which is the sound money chosen by markets throughout history, will retain or increase its purchasing power measured in the goods it buys over the coming years.Very few people have a full understanding of the relationship between money and goods. This is the relationship that sets prices. Yet, without that understanding, central banks will almost certainly fail iMonday, June 3, 2019 |
