| Silver: 2018 and Beyond |
| Do you appreciate the beauty of silver coins? Do you understand the necessity for silver in our modern world?
American Silver Eagle coins and Canadian Silver Maple Leafs represent value, history, and ownership of an industrially important metal that has been money for thousands of years.
Silver for 2018
Governments and central banks inevitably inflate the supply of currency units (devaluation) more rapidly than the underlying economy grows. They add to the unpayable debt load, pretend $230 trFriday, January 12, 2018 |

You're Just Not Prepared For What’s Coming  |
| I hate to break it to you, but chances are you're just not prepared for what’s coming. Not even close.
Don't take it personally. I'm simply playing the odds.
After spending more than a decade warning people all over the world about the futility of pursuing infinite exponential economic growth on a finite planet, I can tell you this: very few are even aware of the nature of our predicament.

| Gold, Biker Wisdom and Dollar Devaluation |
| A common expression among bikers who love to ride is, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” TS Elliott and others made similar statements nearly a century ago.
How Does This Apply to Gold and Dollar Devaluation?
Some adults understand:
Voltaire said over 200 years ago, “Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value – zero.”
The value of the U.S. dollar has declined from about 1/40 of an ounce of gold to its current level of about 1/1300 ounce of gold since 1971.

| The Mother Of All Breakouts Still In Play |
| Short-Term View
The NYSE Composite stock index traded near the bottom of the orange box shown below in 2013 and 2016. The index visited the top of the box in 2014, 2015, and again in late 2016, before breaking out. A successful retest of the breakout occurred earlier in 2017.
Fractals Are Key
Since markets move in fractals, we can apply the same principles to patterns that form on short-term charts to those that appear on long-term charts, even very long-term charts. From stockcharts.comTuesday, October 24, 2017 |

It seems as if Mother Nature is waking up. Either she’s trying to send humans an important warning, or perhaps she’s just out to kill us all.
Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to our planet’s natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on Mother Nature’s good side.

Gold rebounded from modest intraday downticks after filling the gap that was left yesterday. The yellow metal remains elevated by geopolitical tensions that continue to ratchet higher, as well political uncertainty here at home.
Gold set another new high for the year yesterday at 1338.82 after North Korea tested a rather larger nuclear device. It was reportedly an order of magnitude greater than previous tests and there is speculation it may have been a hydrogen bombTuesday, September 5, 2017 |

| Precious Metals’ Ultimate Downside Protection |
| With each passing day, the deception Central bankers stoop to, in a desperate attempt to maintain a status quo that has enriched the “1%” at the expense of all others, stair-steps inexorably higher. Frankly, it’s surreal watching it all play out – knowing full well, that the only thing standing between the spectacular, terrifying final act of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme is the historic, unfathomably blatant rigging of all financial markets; utilizing the most advanced Friday, June 30, 2017 |

| Precious Metals VS. Crypto-Currency And Mainstream Investments-“Revisited” |
| Two days after the most suicidal, hubristically arrogant policy statement in FOMC history, by an institution desperate to maintain the dead propaganda meme of “growth”; and with it, the Cartel’s “response” – gold remains less than $20/oz below its 5½ year downtrend line, and $20/oz above its 200 week moving average; whilst silver – in my view, more undervalued than at any time in history – is just a buck below its 200 week moving average, but a full $0.65/oz above its 5½ year downtrend line.

While the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite index hit all-time highs (again) last week and with volatility hovering near a 24-year low, Secretary of Defense James Mattis gave an underreported speech that should cause investors to rethink their complacency.

GOLD – The Ultimate Buy and Hold  |
| Last night, I was telling my wife of the frustration the past five years has wrought on Precious Metal holders – or, as they call them in the Bitcoin world, “hoddlers.” It’s been far worse, and longer, in the “paper PM investment” world – as the Cartel has not only annihilated mining shares, but the mining industry as well; as not only have reserves been decimated, whilst mine production has – perhaps, permanently – peaked; but share counts and debt burdens have exploded, limiting shares’ upsidThursday, June 1, 2017 |

| Insanity Prevails In The Stock Market - Dave Kranzler |
| The Dow and the S&P 500 stock indices are emblematic for the
degree to which the U.S. economic, financial, political and social
system has dislocated from reality. Insanity prevails in a system that
is corrupted to the core. “Going down the rabbit hole” is a popular
allusion in reference to the surrealism that has enveloped the American
system. I’d hazard to assert that it would take a few tabs of LSD to
make today’s world believable. The fact that Donald Trump is President
