Middle-class America Giving Way to Poverty
Posted on December 4, 2012 | No CommentsBecause of other worthy items to focus on over the past couple of weeks, this report isn’t as timely as we’d like. But it’s certainly worth of our consideration, as it’s affecting each and every one of us, to greater or lesser degrees. And, in light of yesterday’s article on debt, concentrating on household income brings greater clarity to the... -
The Gold to Silver Ratio Favors Silver Long-term
Posted on November 28, 2012 | No CommentsOne of the measurements that has often provided some good insights into when to buy and sell precious metals is the gold-silver ratio. Whenever the ratio is low, it tends to be at a time of highest volatility. When it’s low, it tends to be when the market has equilibrated. With this in mind, let’s take a look at the... -
Many Expecting Miners to Continue to Lag Metals
Posted on November 26, 2012 | No CommentsIn recent months many analysts have pointed to a movement in mining stocks that seems out of sync with the underlying metals’ movements. For example, take a look at the chart here, representing a pool of mining stocks, compared to gold.

BO Repeat was Inevitable; so Now What?
Posted on November 8, 2012 | 2 CommentsAs we approached the election season it appeared that Obama pretty much had this one wrapped up. In spite of the fact that the underlying foundation of our economy is as bad as it’s been in decades, the markets have shown some strength. In light of this, and the fact that the incumbent basically never loses when markets are up,... -
Metals Anticipating Election End?
Posted on November 7, 2012 | No CommentsAs another election day draws to a close we await the numbers with varying degrees of interest. Some are on the edge of their seats, viewing the results as paramount in their perspective of the future of the U.S. Others voted, but are pretty resigned to the idea that it’s only a matter of degrees rather than direction. Others only... -
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. With us pressing recent lows, it’s likely that this is setting up a great buying opportunity going into the holidays.... -
November Typically Good to Metals
Posted on November 1, 2012 | No CommentsAs we reach the end of October, we’ve had some encouraging movements in the metals. However, gold bugs are a bit discouraged too, since we’ve been unable to retake previous highs. Many speculated that 2000 gold was in the bag this year, but are not skeptical. It’s quite possible they’ll be very pleased in time for Christmas. November shows a... -
Silver or Gold, You Can’t go Wrong Either Way
Posted on October 30, 2012 | No CommentsToday we continue yesterday’s thoughts regarding whether one should focus on silver or gold. Of course, there’s no hard and fast advice to give. Too much depends upon one’s personal priorities, budget, philosophy, goals, portfolio, etc. With this in mind, we’re simply offering some thoughts regarding why so many are focused on silver so that you can evaluate for yourself.... -
Perth Mint September Sales Surge
Posted on October 17, 2012 | No CommentsIf Australia’s Perth Mint is any indicator, demand for both gold and silver skyrocketed in September. During a month in which gold climbed over $80, to 1780, and silver rose about $3, to about 34.70, the Perth Mint reported more than twice the previous month’s sales in gold, and almost four times August’s sales in silver. Since the Perth Mint... -
The Next QE May be a Definition of Terms
Posted on September 27, 2012 | No CommentsJoe Weisenthal, writing for Business Insider, doesn’t tell us much about what he expects of the next step in QE∞, but he does offer some insight into what he thinks will be the next step for the Federal Reserve. Rather than offer more stimulus via the printing press, he expects the FED to define their terms in such a manner... -
The Pros and Cons of Returning to a Gold Standard
Posted on September 4, 2012 | No CommentsIf you’re been following us for any time you’re likely wondering, “What cons could he be talking about?” While we maintain that the pros overwhelm the cons, there is still the monumental challenge of how to get there from here. It’s not a simple matter of saying, “Okay, buy new gold coins with your old fiat dollars.” There’s not enough...
