  • The Gold Market Fights Back [View article]
    I am firmly in the "long" camp on gold, silver, and any other hard commodity, but I feel any focus on some secret group of banks trying to push down the price of gold and silver is ridiculous. If it were true, eventually an employee from one of these banks with knowledge of these price-altering practices would leave the bank, start a fund of their own to take advantage of the other side of the trade, and then offer credible information of the bank's manipulation. I have never seen anything like this.

  • Largest Gold Reserves by Country [View article]
    Which of these numbers are actually audited? When were the U.S. gold holdings ever audited? Has GLD been audited? If so, then please provide a link. Many people have raised doubts about GLD, and whether they really just have "paper" gold. If anyone has any "official" response, please post here.

  • Who Will Claim Victory with Gold and Silver? [View article]
    Although this particular gold/silver rally is a bit long in the tooth, it is clear what the long-term direction is: UP. Maybe we get some consolidating pull-backs - I hope so, because those are the buying opportunities. Everywhere you look, governments are trying to weaken their currencies. It is pretty simple - as long as foreigners continue to loan the US Gov't money - the US Gov't will never have a balanced budget, and the USD will continually weaken.

  • The Gold / Silver Ratio: From 1300 to 1900... And Now [View article]
    I own silver through CEF (fund owns real gold and silver, audited). I also own HL, which has incredibly cheap book value of 0.87. Find me another growing silver/gold company that can beat that book value.

  • Rise of the Silver Surfer and Mortgage Insurance Wasteland [View article]
    CEF and GTU are 2 easy ways to own gold and silver. Their physical metals are stored and audited. The founders of these companies will soon come out with a fund dedicated to silver, exclusively. Real silver - none of the phony stuff!

  • Why I'm Keeping an Eye on Corporate Defaults [View article]
    If you are interested in investing in Gold, you might want to look at CEF or GTU, which both hold physical gold. Some of the Gold investors I have read recently have expressed doubts about GLD, and whether GLD actually has the assets it claims, or just claims on those assets.
