| Bitcoin Has No Yield, but Gold Does |
| Last week I said:
It is commonly accepted to say the
dollar is “printed”, but we can see from this line of thinking it is really
borrowed. There is a real borrower on the other side of the transaction, and
that borrower has powerful motivations to keep paying to service the debt.
Bitcoin has no backing. Bitcoin is
created out of thin air, the way people say of the dollar. The quantity of
bitcoins created may be strictly limited by Satoshi’s design.
We referred to the dollar as being borrowedThursday, August 17, 2017 |

| The LBMA is a ploy of the Central Bank Community |
| This
article is about the way the Central Bank Community manipulates the price of
gold and the role of the LBMA within. We describe some of the signs that the
Central Bank Community manipulate the price of gold and that they are using the
LBMA to reach their goal. Is the manipulation of the gold price a classic case of
Diffusion of responsibility because so many organizations are involved and
avoid taking responsibility?
Manipulation is a joint effort of the Central
Bank Community

| India Bans Gold Exports “Without a Valid Reason” |
| In addition to its crackdown on cash, India stepped up its attack on gold. The aim is to cut down on gold imports. India does that in a roundabout way, by cracking down on exports.
Bloomberg reports India Bans Gold Exports Above 22 Carats to Plug Trade Loopholes.
India has banned the export of gold products with purity above 22 carats with immediate effect, a move that the industry sees as a way of curbing irregularities in the trade.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a memorandum that could lead to a trade investigation of alleged Chinese theft of intellectual property.
The measure directs U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to look into options to protect U.S. intellectual property. It does not take any specific action against China at this point.

| Why The Bitcoin Price Could Top $1 Million |
| The price of Bitcoin made a new record high above $4,300 today and is now up roughly 350% year to date or 643% over the past 12 months. If you add in the free Bitcoin Cash distributed to Bitcoin holders, the current value of Bitcoin is closer to $4,600. In this article, I will lay out the case for why a Bitcoin price of $1 million is not as outlandish as it appears at first blush.
While some people are saying it could hit this level by 2030, I think we could see the Bitcoin price reach $1 milliMonday, August 14, 2017 |

| India's gold imports rebound on restocking, good monsoon, top refiner says |
| PANAJI, India -- India's gold imports are likely to jump by a third in 2017 to 750 tonnes on restocking by jewellers and as good monsoon rainfall is expected to boost demand in rural areas during the upcoming festive season, a leading refiner told Reuters.
Higher imports by the world's second biggest consumer will support global prices, which are trading near their highest level in two months, but could widen the country's trade deficit.

| Central Banks Are Hiding the True Price of Risk |
| If you invest your money, you will have to deal with numerous risks. For instance, if you buy a bond, you run the risk of the borrower defaulting or being repaid with debased money. As a stock investor, you face the risk that the company's business model will not live up to expectations, or that it, at the extreme, will go bankrupt. In an unhampered financial market, prices are formed for these and other risk factors.For instance, a bond with a high default risk will typically carry a high yieldSunday, August 13, 2017 |

| With the stock market booming and bonds near the lowest yields in history; investors have enjoyed a huge boost in asset prices. Each week, indexes like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ are hitting new highs. Most of this increase has come on the heels of stimulus from central banks around the world in the form of quantitative easing and more. These “emergency measures” have been going on for years now and global growth is still just slugging along.

| One of the most successful trades I ever recommended as an analyst had little to do with me.Some of you will recall how gold fell off the proverbial cliff in 2013. Our technical analyst at the time warned us of the impending decline, and we ended up shorting gold as a hedge against our long positions.It worked spectacularly. We repeated it several times, and though the last trade wasn’t successful, a lot of people made some serious dinero at the time.SoFriday, August 11, 2017 |
