Gold Is Not Back In Favor Yet… / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Despite the decline this past week, gold seems to be regaining favor with global investors, as just a week earlier it had been flirting with the $1,800 an ounce mark.

What Now For the Price of Silver? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Ted Butler: It has been quite some time since my good friend and silver mentor, Izzy Friedman, has written something about silver. Devastated by the loss of his wonderful wife of 56 years, Gabriella, Izzy withdrew from his daily silver market observation and our telephone conversations in order to restructure his life around family and travel and contemplation. We have started to talk more frequently and he agreed to write something.

Gold and Silver Price Breakout! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Are Gold and Silver preparing for another upside breakout? The battle is between the bullion banks with large short positions; and investors and hedge funds, (along with Asian central banks), that are protecting all or part of their net worth by owning some gold. It has been eleven weeks since my last article. In that article titled: "Gold and Silver Update" I indicated that the summer doldrums appeared to be over. Gold was trading at $1620 and silver at $28.03. I wrote that article with the observation that both metals were ready to rise, and I write today's article with a similar observation. The fundamentals have seldom been more favourable for the bull market in precious metals than they are today.

Do You Know Where Your Gold Is? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Owning Gold as wealth insurance is so widely accepted now as to make it a mainstream investment. A portfolio without Gold is like owning a home without insurance in a region where hurricanes are a normal weather event. The only remaining question facing an investor is what form of Gold to own and where to store it. The latter issue may be one not given sufficient consideration by investors. The question: Do you really know where your Gold is?

America's Gold Run, Huge Deficit as Record Gold Exported Abroad / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
In a stunning development over the first seven months of the year, the United States has run up a huge gold deficit as it has exported a record 424 metric tonnes of gold. This is indeed a significant amount when the U.S. exported a total of 488 metric tonnes for the entire year in 2011.
According to the USGS July Gold Mineral Industry Survey, the U.S. only imported 188 metric tonnes of gold between Jan-Jul, but exported 424 metric tonnes leaving a huge shortfall. Some of this deficit was made up by the U.S. domestic gold mine supply.

Think of Gold as Anti-Fed, for a Golden Future / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Now that gold has declined for a couple of sessions, I can sense worry creeping back into the market place. Personally I think that’s healthy because too many people who know too little about gold have had too much to say about it. These corrections are the market’s way of telling them to shut up! I am fascinated by investors who can watch stock prices go nowhere for years, and yet they sat on stocks all that time and never complained. Gold on the other hand takes a breather for a week and these same investors will throw out the baby with the bath water. So far the spot price for gold has fallen from the October 4th closing high of 1,791.80 to yesterday’s close of 1,738.50; just enough to get the Chicken Little’s out and cackling.

This week's interview with gold dealer Tom Cloud of National Numismatic Associates comes as precious metals are correcting and rumors are swirling around Comex silver.
Dollar Collapse: Hi Tom. It's been an interesting couple of days for silver, with a big Comex draw-down being followed by a sizable price drop. If the silver market wasn't so obviously free and honest, it might be tempting to suspect some kind of manipulation...

Your Golden Worth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
Gold has been wealth and money, a store of value, and a means of exchange for more than 3,000 years. Only recently has debt been widely considered wealth. A US government T-Bond is considered “wealth” because the government promises to repay the loan with interest. Similarly, a corporate note is “wealth” because the corporation has promised to repay the note with dollars, and those dollars are still considered valuable. (Dollars are accepted because dollars are accepted.)
