Platinum & Palladium are Precious Too
Posted on November 16, 2012 | No CommentsAs workers in platinum rich South Africa continue to strike, the white gold exports have dwindled dramatically.

Metals and Miners Poising For Post-Election Rally?
Posted on November 2, 2012 | No CommentsAs we enter the weekend, we’re seeing metals weaken into the weekend. This is actually rather exciting, even though it’s causing our positions to drop against the dollar. As I mentioned the other day, Novembers are historically good for metals.

So, what did Ben’s Announcement Accomplish?

Check out this chart on the S&P 500. It’s... -

Profiting from Europe’s New Gold Rush
Posted on August 9, 2012 | No CommentsBy Jeff Clark, Casey Research Europe owns a sizable chunk of the world’s natural resources. Over the past few decades, however, EU countries have mostly imported their resources. Outlandish? Maybe. But it was simply easier, cheaper, and most importantly it avoided most environmental conflicts. Getting through government regulation and facing off eco-friendly groups is a time-consuming and outrageously expensive business…... -
How Does Gold Fare During Hyperinflationary Periods?
Posted on June 30, 2012 | No CommentsBy Jeff Clark, Casey Research Inflation is a natural consequence of loose government monetary policy. If those policies get too loose, hyperinflation can occur. As gold investors, we’d like to know if the precious metals would keep pace in this extreme scenario. Hyperinflation is an extremely rapid period of inflation, but when does inflation (which can be manageable) cross the... -

Posted on June 12, 2012 | No CommentsBy Jeff Clark, Casey Research It may feel like I’m out of touch with the precious metals markets to broach the subject of a mania today, but I think the table is being set now for a huge move into gold and silver.
