| The Chicago Way Precious Metals Protection Plan |
| Do you have a plan to protect your precious metals?
You should. I’m going to tell you mine today.
I’m from Chicago.
The second city. The windy city. The city of big shoulders.
All of that sounds nice, but if you’ve live in Chicago, the phrase that is always top of mind is not so romantic.
You may have heard it before. It’s the phrase that was famously mouthed by Sean Connery in the movie “The Untouchables” when he said “THATS the Chicago Way.”
The Chicago Way.

| Backing Out |
| News reports this week indicated that the Bank of Nova Scotia (ScotiaBank), Canada’s third largest bank, had put its precious metals operation, ScotiaMocatta, up for sale. Various sources said the unit had been for sale for a year or so and it was thought or hoped that Chinese interests might buy the business. It was also reported that the Bank of Nova Scotia would shrink the unit if no buyer could be found. The impetus for the sale was said to be a scandal involving smuggled gold from South AmeTuesday, October 24, 2017 |

| Thoughtful Disagreement |
| I caught a good interview by Charlie Rose on Bloomberg TV the other night of Ray Dalio, founder and head of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund with some $150 billion in assets under management. Dalio has been making the rounds recently in promoting his new book, “Principles”, in which he lays out his beliefs for the investment business and the business of life. Now in book form, Dalio previously offered his work for free and which was downloaded more than three million times.Monday, October 2, 2017 |

 The Gold Industry is in a Deep State of Dysfunction, Delusion and Denial - Stewart Dougherty |
| In 1980, the Financial Deep State realized that there
existed an extraordinary opportunity for serial plunder and profiteering: the
manipulation of the gold and silver markets. They immediately mobilized to
exploit it.
During the subsequent 37+ years (we are now well into the 38th),
the Deep State manipulators have criminally looted the gold and silver markets,
pocketing astronomical profits for themselves in the process, all of which have
come from real victims on the other sides of their fraudWednesday, July 19, 2017 |

| Surprise CFTC Gold/Silver Manipulation Announcement: Ted Butler |
| I was shocked by Friday’s announcement by the CFTC of an order and simultaneous settlement of manipulation charges in COMEX gold and silver futures. I first saw it in a Zerohedge article and subsequent articles on Bloomberg and in the Wall Street Journal, but all those accounts were somewhat off target compared to the CFTC announcement itself. This was one of those rare cases where the source announcement was much clearer than the articles describing it. I would ask you to take the time to read Tuesday, June 6, 2017 |

Gold serves as political chips on the world’s financial stage.

Gold will go higher when all central banks ‘confront the next global liquidity crisis’

| Gold Investment Is the Ultimate Guide for Tech Investors In 500 Words
by Jan Skoyles, Editor Mark O'Byrne
Tech is the umbrella word for all things fashionable to invest in right now. Take the recent flotation of Snap Inc. (parent company of teen and narcissists’ favourite app SnapChat), everyone wanted in on the $20 billion flotation.
Snap is likely a sign of a tech bubble that will cost a lot of savers and investors huge amounts of money ... again.

"I do think that's the number one problem with mankind," Warren Buffett warned during Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting on May 6th.
"I'm very pessimistic on weapons of mass destruction generally although I don't think that nuclear probably is quite as likely as either primarily biological and maybe cyber," Buffett said duriWednesday, May 17, 2017 |

| An unusual confluence of seemingly unrelated factors may have created an opportunity to do something about the silver (and gold) manipulation. On Monday, April 10, two new officials assumed key roles with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) – a new director of the Enforcement Division and the first chief officer of the newly-created Market Intelligence Unit. The main mission of both departments is to uncover and terminate market fraud and manipulation, the same overall prime mission Wednesday, April 12, 2017 |

I hold investments in two gold mining companies in Canada. Would you believe that one company thinks that suppression of gold and silver prices is just a "conspiracy theory"?
The company claims not to see any firm evidence. Yet this company also sells its product to one of the bullion banks (Scotia Bank) that have been implicated in the silver price manipulation lawsuit. To seThursday, March 16, 2017 |

| Despite exposure in federal court in New York, the TF Metals Report's Craig Hemke (aka Turd Ferguson) writes today, manipulation of the silver market by bullion banks continues in the open. The only counter to it, he says, is to purchase real metal on a cost-averaging basis and wait for the scheme to explode. His commentary is headlined "Silver Price Manipulation Continues in 2016" and it's posted at the TF Metals Report here:
