| Gold Jewelry’s Real Advantage: Wearable, Transportable Wealth |
| I vividly remember the first gold coin I ever bought.A one-ounce American gold Eagle. When I first opened the package, I was instantly struck by its beauty, shine, and refinement. And I loved the weight of it in my hand. I must’ve looked at it a hundred times over the next several days.What I did next, though, is telling: I stuck it in a safe. And there it sat, in the dark and out of sight.It was, well, anticlimactic. I loved the coin, but I couldn’t do much with it… couldn’t show it off, couldnMonday, December 28, 2020 |

 Gold Silver Confiscation: Can the Government Seize Assets |
| One concern of retail precious metals investors is the possibility of a gold confiscation.Imagine having the forethought to buy gold to shield your finances from an economic or monetary crisis—only to have it taken away from you by your government. You’d lose not just the protective buffer you put in place but potentially a chunk of your net worth.Gold confiscation may sound preposterous to investors used to securities or real estate. But it’s happened in the past enough times to make it a reasoMonday, June 1, 2020 |

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.
Since most people are abysmally ignorant of where we have been, perhaps that is a good pWednesday, April 8, 2020 |

| GOLD CONFISCATION AND MANIPULATION |
| Owning gold is life insurance and wealth preservation. Anyone who has lived through hyperinflationary periods in the Weimar Republic, Zimbabwe, Argentina or Venezuela understands the importance of gold. But it is not enough just to own gold or silver. It is also extremely important how you hold it and where you hold it. We have just seen another example how governments unilaterally “confiscate” gold.

| How Will Gold Prices Behave During The Next Economic Crisis |
| This report was originally published by Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.com
It is generally well known in economic circles and in the general public that precious metals, including gold, tend to be the go-to investment during times of fiscal uncertainty. There is a good reason for this. Precious metals have foundation qualities that provide trade stability; these include inherent rarity (rather than artificially engineered rarity such as that associated with cryptocurrencies), tangibility (you can Tuesday, March 13, 2018 |

| Heat Death of the Economic Universe |
| Physicists say that the universe is expanding. However, they hotly debate (OK, pun intended as a foreshadowing device) if the rate of expansion is sufficient to overcome gravity—called escape velocity. It may seem like an arcane topic, but the consequences are dire either way. If the rate of expansion is too low, then it will get slower and slower until expansion stops entirely, then finally, begin collapsing again in a Big Crunch. That’s bad enough. But the other possible fate of the universe iWednesday, November 8, 2017 |

| “Fade” the little guy for profit! |
| As many of you know, I worked in the brokerage industry as a stockbroker/branch manager for 23 years. During that time and the 10+ years since, I have seen the “herd” move(d) violently in tandem many times. For years, smart investors would discern what retail investors were doing as a group and do the opposite quite profitably. It has been said and I have to agree, “the little guy is almost always wrong, and wrong at the wrong time”. Fade the little guy, it is usually quite profitable!

| Gold And The Coming Collapse: Are We Close To A Major Monetary Event |
| It really should be clear that a major international banking crisis is inevitable, and likely to occur fairly soon. Due to the extreme debt levels, many banks are close to that point of failure.
An event like a stock market crash is likely to push many banks to that point of failure, since the pressure it would create (on cash resources), would expose their inability to fulfill their obligations.

| Gold Confiscation in the U.S. - Rory Hall |
| GATA reported yesterday,
and we picked up the story, about a golden rooster being confiscated by
the Treasury in 1960. The rooster weighed in at a hefty 14 pounds of
solid gold – that’s a lot of gold. The rooster was commissioned by a Las
Vegas casino that would later become the Golden Nugget. The casino
acquired the name after they had acquired one of the largest gold
nuggets ever dug out of the ground. The current gold nugget is on

| The Myth of Gold Confiscation |
| If we experience a debt crisis, as many economists believe is inevitable,
many people believe that their holdings of gold and silver bullion will be
confiscated, just as in 1933. This article reviews the probability of confiscation
and compares it to other more likely measures to generate government solvency.
An appropriate starting point when addressing concerns about gold confiscation
is to define the word 'confiscation.' Merriam Webster says 'to seize or
buy as if by authority' andSunday, March 5, 2017 |

| Is 50 of Western Central Bank Gold gone |
| We have recently had some significant news about the sovereign gold market that makes the unclarity even more unclear. Central banks and the BIS in Basel go to great length to tell the world absolutely nothing about their gold dealings. All transactions are carried out covertly and no central bank ever has an official audit of their gold holdings. The last US audit was during Eisenhower’s days in the 1950’s. Ron Paul has been pushing for an audit but to no avail. Will Trump instigate an audit? WSaturday, February 18, 2017 |
