I love Gold because it gives financial security  |
| It is not Gold in and of itself that excites me, but the many benefits of sound money. Another benefit is financial security.
Can sound money give you financial security? There is something very comforting in knowing that what you earn today will retain its purchasing power in the years to come. Indeed, the same silver dime that bought a loaf of bread in the 1960s can still buy a loaf of bread with its precious metal content – which is worth about $1.00 today.Friday, May 15, 2020 |

| El Petro: Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures |
| Desperate times call for desperate measures. When government “officials” become desperate and run out of other peoples wealth, well, the desperation becomes palatable. This is exactly what is happening in Venezuelan.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a socialist maniac, has driven the country into the ground with promises that could never be kept. Then the Venezuelan government committed the ultimate sin and began discussing gold and demanding their gold be returned, which it was. When a counSunday, January 6, 2019 |

| That didn’t take long. It was just a few weeks ago that Maduro announced he would be launching a cryptocurrency backed by oil, gold and diamonds and now here we are with El Petro coming to market.
It was December 4, 2017 that we published Venezuela Announces “the Petro” Currency Backed by Gold, Oil and Diamonds and just over a month later – WOW!! does this mean it was already in the works long before he made the announcement or is utilizing a cryptocurrency that was underdevelopment and was closSunday, January 7, 2018 |

| We love to repeat that gold is money. We also love to point out that silver has been money longer than gold. Sometimes when when we look at situations or images long enough we begin to stop seeing certain aspects, characteristics or attributes that are right at the end of ones nose. This is what just happened with me. After looking at silver for so long it seems that I have overlooked the fact that silver has been money longer than gold and, therefore, has created more innovation, more wealth anThursday, January 4, 2018 |

Apparently, Venezuelan President Madura is following China’s lead, but
instead of a subtle rollout over time as to not cause some kind of
market shake-up, he has decided that now is as good a time as any to
announce the creation of a new digital currency: the Petro, backed by
Venezuela’s gold, oil and diamond reserves.

| While politicians hammer out the details it is generally accepted that corporations and by extension the investor and asset owner classes are targeted for benefits under the coming Republican tax plan. The logical implication of that beneficial treatment is that barring a market meltdown in the interim, people looking to unload stock positions and take profits would tend to wait until January in hopes of gaining the 2018 tax benefit vs. 2017’s tax code.Among the under performing sectors subject Friday, November 24, 2017 |

| Perspective on the Gold/Oil Ratio, Macro Fundamentals and a Gold Sector Bottom |
| With all due caveats about the non-stellar gold CoT data (we’ll update in #474) I wanted to note a constructive situation in gold vs. oil, which is a key sector fundamental consideration. Now, there is still a constructive situation in play for nominal crude oil, so take this post for perspective more than anything.Pardon the massive charts (click to expand) but I am going to start using these personally so that I can fully take into account the historical market aspects that go further back on Monday, November 20, 2017 |

 The Gold-Backed-Oil-Yuan Futures Contract Myth |
| On September 1, 2017, the Nikkei Asian Review published an article titled, “China sees new world order with oil benchmark backed by gold”, written by Damon Evans. Just below the headline in the introduction it states, “China is expected shortly to launch a crude oil futures contract priced in yuan and convertible into gold in what analysts say could be a game-changer for the industry”. Not long after the Nikkei piece was released ‘the story’ was widely copied in sensational analyses throughout tMonday, October 16, 2017 |

| Oil for gold – the real story |
| Following an article in the Nikkei Asia Review, which reported China will shortly introduce an oil futures contract priced in yuan, there has been some confusion about what it means. The article pointed out that in combination with existing gold futures priced in yuan, an oil exporter to China contracting to accept yuan could use these two futures contracts to take delivery of physical gold in payment for oil.I was quoted in that article as follows:"It is a mechanism which is likely to appeal toSunday, October 15, 2017 |

| China, oil for gold and the Prospects for Gold |
|
The Chinese have announced that they have perfected a scheme, to be launched formally in the market by the end of the year, by means of which exporters of oil to China will accept the Chinese currency, the Yuan, in payment for the oil; for this deal, the Chinese have added an incentive: the Yuan received by the oil exporters will be exchangeable for gold. This gold will be "sourced" i.e. "purchased" outside of China, for the oil exporters.
Thus, the oil exporters' Yuan wiWednesday, September 27, 2017 |

| New Gold Pool at the BIS Basle: Part 2 – Pool vs Gold for Oil |
| This is Part 2 of a two-part series. The series focuses on collusive discussions and meetings that took place between the world’s most powerful central bankers in late 1979 and 1980 in an attempt to launch a central bank Gold Pool cartel to manipulate and control the free market price of gold. The meetings centered around the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basle, Switzerland.

What’s more, it’s been bearish since it started to drop from the SMA 200 failure point.In NFTRH, we managed bounce #1 (off the Dec. low) as just that, a bounce. Then we managed bounce #2 as just that, a bounce. It doesn’t take a trained eye to see why; only a rise above the October high would have set an uptrend for bounce #1 and a rise above the February high would have set an uptrend for bounce #2.It didn’t happen and any pumping doneFriday, May 5, 2017 |

| The U.S. Empire Would Have Collapsed Decades Ago If It Didn’t Abandon The Gold Standard |
|
The U.S. will never go back on a gold standard. The notion that a U.S. Dollar backed by gold would solve our financial problems is pure folly. Why? Because, if the U.S. Empire didn't abandon the gold standard in 1971, it would have collapsed decades ago.
Unfortunately, some of the top experts in the precious metals community continue to suggest that revaluing gold much higher, to say.... $15,000-$50,000 an ounce, would bring confidence back into the Dollar. Not only wFriday, January 27, 2017 |

| At this point in the cycle, the silver market should be relatively easy for the average person to enter. Prices are beginning to move back toward natural supply and demand equilibrium, as large disruptions are occurring between the positioning of dominant futures speculators that have kept futures prices entrapped for nearly 6 years. It's easy to buy physical silver right now. It can be bought in person. It can be through online dealers. Relatively speaking, it requires relatively few 'currency Thursday, December 15, 2016 |

Trading position (short-term; our opinion): No positions are justified from the risk/reward perspective. In other words, we think that taking profits off the table and closing the previous long positions is a good idea.
On Tuesday, crude oil gave some of earlier gains after news that Iran and Libya have continued to increase production. In these circumstances, light crude slipped to the previously-broken resistance zoWednesday, October 5, 2016 |
