China Admits Gold's Monetary Role: Time to Buy

The impact that the Chinese people and their inclination to save using hard assets like silver and gold can not be overstated. Thanks for an interesting read.

Gold and Silver Prices Will Begin to Shine

Pumping trillions of dollars into the monetary system is historically and eventually an inflationary stimulus (loads of money chasing goods and services). I lived through the stagnant 1970s and I saw what inflation can do . The classic definition of inflation is more accurately involved with the eroding purchasing power of the paper currency. In time that means gold and silver goes up, up and away...probably sooner than later

Gold and Silver Prices Will Begin to Shine

First, I try to follow my "mentors" suggestions which have been correct more times than they have been incorrect. In this unprecedented derivatives and credit crises, all we have are "clues". Secondly, AUY and many other well-managed miners tend to trade in ranges and there have been many opportunities to "buy low and sell high" in shorter periods of time. Lastly, no one I've heard of and follow was able to anticipate how badly the resource stocks would be decimated. Seeking Alpha isn't a forum for authors to "pump
their own holdings" but a place to share ideas and compare our investment strategies and experience. It should be a way of networking with other investors and learning from each other.

Andy, have you noticed the price of LMC lately. Do you have any comments and updates?

Gold and Silver Sparkle During Rough Week for Markets

Thanks for the comments. Ownership of the physical, hard asset makes good sense as well, as long as you can get around the storage issues, which most people find somewhat daunting. Delaware Depository is a realistically possible way to store, and they tell me that they insure every ounce. I encourage insured storage at a secured location if you want to get into physical possession.
