| Here is an amusing set of back-to-back headlines regarding Spain.
Via Mish-modified Google translate from La Vanguardia Brussels Puts Spain Under Surveillance for Economic Imbalances
Spain will be placed under European supervision and its political leeway in deciding what reforms the economy agree will be reduced.

| 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.

| Daren Oddenino: How to Spot Oil and Gas Takeout Targets |
| The Energy Report: Interest in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the oil and gas space seems to be picking up. Pioneer Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (PXD:NYSE) made headlines last January when it sold 207,000 net acres of its Wolfcamp shale leases to Sinochem Group (00817:HK) for $1.7 billion. Does this signal a trend of international companies investing in North American shale plays at a premium?"International players have a lot to gain by establishing a foothold in North America."

| Though the following 2002 court case ended with the liberal Ninth Circuit ruling that, “the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution does not guarantee individuals the right to bear arms,” at least one judge stood in dissent.
In his dissent, Judge Alex Kozinski argued with the very reasoning our founding fathers used to include the right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution to begin with.
It may be a decade since the Ninth Circuit attempted to rewrite our fundamental law of the land (Tuesday, May 14, 2013 |

History’s Best Gold Buying Opportunity – Dr Baltin  |
| There is only one difference between a bad
economist and a good one: The bad economist confines himself to the
visible effect; the good economist takes into account both the effect
that can be seen and more importantly, those effects that must be
foreseen. The bad economist pursues a small, present good that will be
followed by a great evil to come, while the good economist pursues a
great good to come, at theMonday, May 13, 2013 |

James Dines: Our "Sell" signal on China's economy in The Dines Letter (TDL) of Sept. 16, 2011, is still stubbornly resisted by the mainstream press, which instead persists in calling for 7.5% growth by China Since we perceive China as a barometer for the commodities markets, it followed that there would be a decline in raw-materials prices.

| Perth - Australia's Capital City Of Gold |
| Name the things that influence your perception of Perth and beautiful weather, fine wine, sand and surf probably spring to mind. But Australia's fourth largest city can also claim to be one of the world's most important centres for gold. According to The Perth Mint's Bron Suchecki, it's something that a lot of people don't realise about "little old Perth". Earlier today, Bron highlighted some of Perth's golden credentials on ABC 720's Breakfast Show with Eoin Cameron (listen here)Thursday, May 02, 2013 |

 Better "Safe Haven" ? Switzerland or Canada? |
| Despite the well-engineered ?bear raid? conducted by some U.S. banks together with some hedge funds ?which knocked the gold price back on its heels down to $1,344? the demand for gold from all over the world remains unabated. The fall in the gold price caused the physical buying of gold to surge everywhere and the gold price has begun to recover. The dilemma facing most gold investors remains.?Where does one hold their physical gold?? More to the point, where does one hold one?s gold away from inFriday, April 26, 2013 |

While full-scale war is likely not imminent, it?s something worth considering in light of where we stand in the long-term War Cycle.

 Gold And Silver Suffer Major Technical Damage: Updated Charts |
| Only days after I issued important trading summaries for both gold and silver, both metals suffered significant selling pressure today to break major areas of longstanding support. As a result, both charts have been significantly bruised and both metals have undergone significant technical damage. For a review of important levels please review the post I made on Thursday, just one day before the massive Friday liquidation. Tonight I will update the charts for my readers to show how bad the tMonday, April 15, 2013 |

| Gold price suppression: the game goes on |
| The slide in precious metal prices has done much to undermine investor confidence, yet the indications are that demand for the physical metals remains strong. This leads many observers to comment that paper gold and silver and not bullion are driving prices. The current sell off is a combination of long paper positions capitulating, new short positions being opened by trend-chasers, and importantly, bullion banks squaring their books.

| Gold Close to Trashing a Key Support |
| With a scary bank crisis in Cyprus driving the headlines a couple of weeks ago, gold could barely muster a rally. Notice in the chart below that the high of the move failed to clear a minor peak at 1619.70. Had it done so, we would have given bulls a fighting chance, since it would have created a bullish “impulse leg” with the potential to power quotes as much as $120 higher in just a few weeks. Instead, buyers showed themselves to be gutless, allowing the April contract to relapse down to witWednesday, April 03, 2013 |

| After selling off an astounding 56% between October of 2007 and March 2009, the S&P 500 has staged a rally for the ages, surging 120% and recovering all of its lost ground too. This stunning turnaround certainly qualifies as one of the more memorable, and unusual, stock market rallies in history. The problem is that the rally has been underwritten by the Federal Reserve's unconventional monetary policies But for some reason, this belief has not weakened the celebration.Although the Fed has beenTuesday, April 02, 2013 |
