| Silver Recoups Sharp Loss And Rises 2% On Record Volume |
| Today’s AM fix was USD 1,378.75, EUR 1,070.21 and GBP 908.39 per ounce.
Yesterday’s AM fix was USD 1,353.75, EUR 1,051.95 and GBP 890.86 per ounce.
Gold climbed $19.40 or 1.43% yesterday to $1,384.30/oz and silver finished 2% higher.
Silver’s recovery yesterday from being 10% lower at one stage to recouping these losses and then rising over 2% was very positive technically. The key reversal is leading some to postulate that we may have seen the bottom or are close to a bottom.

Indisputable Proof Paper Gold Markets are Massively Manipulated  |
| What would you think if someone told you the following?"Three times this week, I am going to tell you the low price of gold with near perfect accuracy, and one of those three times, I am going to tell you events that will precede the low and the exact time that gold prices will crash."You would likely conclude that either:(1) I am somehow directly involved in setting the price of gold in paper derivative markets, or(2) that since nearly perfectly predicting gold price movements three times in onTuesday, May 21, 2013 |

| "Price discovery is not a sexy function of markets, but it is critical to the efficient allocation of scarce capital and resources, and to the preservation of the long term wealth of investors and the economy as a whole. If price discovery is compromised by manipulation, then we will all be gradually impoverished and the economy will be imbalanced and unstable."

| Unveiling the gold market’s working parts |
| On the 12th and 15th April gold fell victim to a price smash.
Why this happened is something which is open to much analysis and theorising. For the mainstream media it was down to an improving global economy and the need to hold gold no longer existed, for those in the world of gold investment this was perhaps down to more of the politics behind the gold-market than the economics.
On April 12th 3.4 million ounces (100 tonnes) of gold was sold in the US futures markets. This was just for startersSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

Glimpsing the Hereafter 2  |
| In this, my 400th post, I will peer into the future, to the Freegold revaluation and beyond. But I do not have an actual crystal ball. All I have is logic and reason, and a little help from Another and FOA. So to quote FOA, "If you came with a notion that I am someone who sees the future, grab the children and run far away." But if you came bearing your own logic and reason, then perhaps you will find this post useful. :D

James Turk: Yes, it really is. However, Europe is a big place, and you have to look at the individual countries one by one to understand the situation. Generally speaking, the Mediterranean countries are in the worst shape. Germany has been in the best shape, although recent economic data indicate it may be falling into a recession again.

| Is this the end of the gold bull market? |
| The dreary picture painted by recent headlines and the tiresome repetition that gold “has entered a bear market” seems to be taking its toll on gold investors, whose confidence levels appear to be hitting bottom. As usual gold has few friends in the mainstream investment world and media, and when the price rises we hear little about it, whereas there is no end of headlines on gold when the price is down.

| China's Gold Blitz of 2013 |
| As the paper gold price continues its choppy consolidation, after gaining a following and an initial sharp decline in mid-April, the world’s attention is now focused on Chinese and Indian demand for gold, “which between them is absorbing an all non-Asian mine supply….
“Chinese net purchases of gold totaled 320.54 metric tons (mt) in first quarter 2013.” This “Gold Blitz” of 2013 reflects an increasing confidence in precious metals over paper currencies. Many of the world’s countries have experTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

| Whenever the Federal Reserve wants to tweak the dials of the economy -- or pretend that it can -- it turns first to its sock puppet at The Wall Street Journal, John Hilsenrath, and "leaks" a rumor of policy change (here). They like to do this late on Fridays when financial markets are about to close, so that market players will have a whole weekend to ponder the Fed's actions like medieval viziers reading goat entrails.

He proposed that streaming could be part of the solution to a lack of bank financing now available by buying the right to purchase future profits. This works best, Watson said, when mining company and royalty company interests are aligned. While royalty companies started as value arbitrage businesses, he now sees a broadeThursday, May 09, 2013 |

| These past few weeks it seems like paper gold is out and physical gold is in.
The fall in the price of gold has triggered a new run on physical gold that shows no sign of abating. Record amounts of money have exited ‘paper,’ i.e. futures and ETFs, and headed straight to the bank or the mint to be exchanged for coins and bullion bars, that is if one can get them. The strength of physical retail buying has taken dealers and mints around the world by surprise, leaving them scrambling to keep up wTuesday, May 07, 2013 |
