 Common Gold Silver Pitfalls to Avoid  |
| Investing in gold and silver may seem simple and straightforward, however it is not.
There are many types of ( quote, unquote ) "investments" in gold and silver you will want to avoid.
Gold and silver dealers are no different from any other industry or crowd of people.
Within our industry you will find many good honest professionals and organizations, but you will also find some bad outfits whose practices can be described as underhanded, even criminal.

| Raw Materials |
| It is said that the most advantageous of all branches of trade is that which supplies manufactured commodities in exchange for raw materials. For these raw materials are the aliment and support of national labor.
Hence the conclusion is drawn that the best law of customs is that which gives the greatest possible facility to the importation of raw materials, and which throws most obstacles in the way of importing finished goods.

| Watching Palladium Make New All-Time Highs |
| The price action in palladium is eerily reminiscent of early 2001, and this could have major implications for gold and silver in the months ahead.
Back in 2001, the price of palladium spiked to highs above $1100/ounce. At the time, major physical palladium shortages appeared and tremendous strain was put upon the LBMA palladium market in London. Lease rates soared, and it appeared that thWednesday, October 24, 2018 |

What 10-Baggers (and 100-Baggers) Look Like  |
| Now that it appears clear the bottom is in for gold, it’s time to stop fretting about how low prices will drop and how long the correction will last—and start looking at how high they’ll go and when they’ll get there.
When viewing the gold market from a historical perspective, one thing that’s clear is that the junior mining stocks tend to fluctuate between extreme boom and bust cycles. As a group, they’ll double in price, then crash by 75%... then double or triple or even quadruple again, onlWednesday, October 24, 2018 |

| Ultrasonic inspection of precious metals |
| Conventional techniques for precious metal quality assessment
Historically, inspection of gold quality has mostly involved chemical analysis to determine purity, using techniques such as fireassay[1]. But as this is a wholly destructive technique, there are obvious disadvantages. More recently minimally or non-destructive techniques such as mass spectrometry [1] or X-ray fluorescence [2,3], and even low temperature photoluminescence [4] have been used.Tuesday, September 25, 2018 |

| The Hungarian Connection |
| Gold is the most misunderstood metal in human history, because of the economists' failure to distinguish between its dynamic and static aspects in representing values. Economists have blithely assumed all along that the value of gold is the same whether it flows freely from one hand to the next, or whether the movement of gold is obstructed, in the worst case arrested, by the government (soon to be aped by banks and individualsSunday, September 23, 2018 |

| As you read this please keep in mind what former CIA Director, William Casey said about truth, information and the American people’s understanding of current events – “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” There’s a war on for our mind, body and spirit. The truth will always prevail, as long as we the people have the capacity to comprehend the difference between righteousness and evil.

Currency War: 140 Years of Monetary History in Ten Minutes  |
| Like most complex subjects reduced to a ten minute summation, there are plenty of nuances lost here, and one might certainly take issue with some of the conclusions. And the perspective of the discussion is largely centered on the US and Europe.
Nevertheless, I like the succinct overview of certain key events in recent world monetary history that lead up to the situation in which we find ourselves today.

| 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.Sunday, September 2, 2018 |

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 andMonday, August 20, 2018 |

| 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.Wednesday, July 25, 2018 |

 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.Thursday, July 19, 2018 |

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 DTuesday, July 17, 2018 |
