Gold and Silver Protection From Economic Cancer and Desperation of QE2 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
History is being made. The American public has never been no nervous, perhaps fearful of something dreadful and imminent. The global monetary system is crumbling. The typical stimulus has failed to jumpstart the USEconomy. The 20 months of near 0% short-term official interest rate has failed to revive the moribund US housing market. The phony FASB accounting rules has failed to accomplish anything except a stay of execution for the big US banks, which do not lend much. In fact, the US banks are largely dead entities showing enough life for to receive USGovt largesse aid. Witness the failure of the US financial sector. Witness the climax chapter of failure for the Fascist Business Model.

Estate Sales: A Silver Mine! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
With the economic crisis well underway, estate sale sizes have grown tremendously as cash-strapped children hope to bring home big bucks from their deceased parent's assets. Traditionally, only small amounts of an estate would be auctioned, as the children of the deceased kept most of the items as an heirloom keepsake.

How Financial Instruments Suppress Silver's Value / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
One fact is very, very clear: the silver markets are horribly suppressed. As we reported months ago, it was discovered in May that the silver futures market is purely paper, and there is an actual whistleblower to tell the tale. However, that testimony was subsequently squandered when the closed circuit TV had “technical errors,” and days later Andrew Maguire, the famed whistleblower, was in a hit and run accident.

Gold Demand Increases 36% as Investors Increase Allocations to Bullion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
US and German government bonds, gold and particularly silver rose in safe haven buying yesterday on growing concerns about the robustness of the US recovery. The two precious metals traded flat in Asian and early European trade but have moved up again this morning as the dollar has weakened. Risk aversion has returned due to the very poor housing data yesterday which suggests a double dip recession is increasingly possible. These concerns are not being helped by renewed jitters in sovereign debt markets on Ireland's downgrade with government bond spreads widening again and the spread between Ireland's and Germany's debt at new records.

Gold, the collapse of Keynesian Economic Dogma and Fed Money Printing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Keynesian economic dogma continues down a path marked by complete failure. Fundamental belief of this ideology is that government can replace the private economy. Second rule is that government should replace the private sector. Flowing from that change should be a land of economic milk and honey. Except for one little thing, it does not work.

Why Gold Is Not In A Bull Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
What is a 'Bull' market? It is a market in an upward price phase of a market with the expectation that it will be followed by a 'Bear' or downward phase of a market. This mindset is common to all markets. Sayings like, "everything that goes up must come down" is pretty standard and taken as part of life itself, but few examine it to see if it is really true. Why should everything that goes up come down? For some years now gold has been thought of as moving in the opposite direction to the U.S. Dollar.

Silver Seasonal Big Autumn Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Silver has been drifting in a rather lackluster summer. Ever since surging to $19.50 in mid-May, this often-popular white metal has been grinding sideways to lower. By late July it had fallen over 10% to about $17.50. But despite silver’s recent excitement-bereft sojourn, it actually has excellent potential for a big autumn rally in the coming months.
