Last week the gold price fell $200 an ounce in two trading days, almost reaching the $1,300/oz level (though it recovered by $150/oz this week).

| Metal drained away, Comex will move to cash settlement, Sinclair says |
| Jim Sinclair today tells King World News that the New York Commodities Exchange's gold warehouses will be drained as long as the price of paper gold is so much lower than the price of real metal around the world and that he expects the exchange to stop metal delivery and convert to cash settlement or settlement in shares of exchange-traded funds. "This is the beginning of the end of the paper gold market being the superior price-setting mechanism," Sinclair says. An excerpt from his interview isFriday, April 26, 2013 |

 The War on Silver  |
| It has taken more than 25 years for me to fully comprehend a conclusion that I never wanted to reach, namely, that there is an organized war against the price of silver that has come to include the US Government. I think the US Government involvement came into being almost accidently, but even if it was an accident of sorts, that does not diminish the serious nature of what must be described as illegal activity at the highest levels. I am conflicted between feelings of sadness and outrage.Tuesday, July 24, 2012 |

| Government is Already Too Involved in Healthcare |
| This week the Supreme Court is expected to issue its long-awaited decision regarding the constitutionality of the "Obamacare" law. I recently discussed absurd legal arguments byObamacare advocates that Congress can compel the purchase of health insurance, and the dismal record of federal courts applying so-called "judicial review" in protecting liberty.Tuesday, June 26, 2012 |

Knowing the Game  |
| Especially at times of price pressure like now, it can be reassuring to know how the game is being played. I’m not speaking of the day to day price movements, but of the dominant forces that generally cause both short term and long term price movements. The price of world silver and gold is mostly set on the COMEX.Thursday, May 10, 2012 |

| High-Frequency Trading: Menger vs. Walras |
| While CarlMenger and LéonWalras simultaneously discovered the principle of marginal utility, their ideas about the nature of market prices are very different.Walras was more interested in the final equilibrium prices arrived at by traders than the process by which these prices were formed. Therefore, he dramatically simplified the pricing process by imagining it as if it were governed by an auction mechanism capable of instantly calculating all prices in an economy.Friday, March 09, 2012 |

| What is the « Spot Price » of Gold and Silver ? |
| The question has again arisen about the discrepancy between the spot price of gold and silver, and the prices shown on the front month of the futures market. When you ask even an experienced trader, or even an economist who may have received a Nobel prize, 'What is the spot price, where does it come from, who sets it?' you will often hear that this is the last physical trade, or the current market price of physical bullion for delivery.Tuesday, February 28, 2012 |

| Failed Fed Policies Prolong the Agony |
| The Federal Reserve's interest rate price-setting board, the FOMC, met last week. They will continue to set the federal funds rate at well below 1%, and plan to keep it low until the end of 2014. That's a year and half longer than they planned when they met just last month. Chairman Bernanke says they are keeping interest rates so low for so long because the economic outlook warrants it.Tuesday, January 31, 2012 |
