Van Eck Files for Junior Miners ETF

Nice idea, but I'm concerned with questions about these precious
metal ETFs as nothing more than paper instruments and having
no connection to physical possession at all.

Why Are Investors Returning to the Dollar?

Mr. Shaefer,

I agree entirely with your investment suggestions but; "We know we have the best politicians and regulators money can buy", at first I thought you were kidding, were you? Remember it's these poiticians who had the Glass/Steagal Act repealed and whose predecessors established the central banking system in this country, laying the ground work for end- less interference in the natural market cycles and causing recessions and depressions from 1913 onward! Have you ever in your professional career read any of the works of Ludwig Von Mises? You are, I'm quite
sure, familiar with the economic idealogy of Mr. Keynes, no doubt! Or
am I doing you an injustice in some way?

Is This the Death of Gold & Silver Stocks?

Mr. Courtenay,

I agree with your observation and analysis of the historical market trends and the precious metals in particular. How anyone could be so ignorant concerning obvious facts and consider gold/silver and other precious metals to be part of a "Ponzi Scheme" baffles me. They need to read The Coming Currency Collapse by Jerome Smith and The Value of Honest Money by Pat Gorman. Big mouthed macho bragging about whiz kid shorting antics in the stock market impresses no one with even minimal intelligence!

Anyone smart enough to claim 'success' in shorting the market should
know of the ruthless 'naked short selling' and last minute 'carpet bombing' of precious metal stocks (particularly the juniors) that has gone one with not the least bit of SEC inforcement against these viciously illegal acts, and all done to suppress the stock price of many excellent companies! Legal action by lawyers preparing to pursue class action suits in Canada concerning these very acts is now underway!

My last word to all the 'gold bug' haters (and I've heard as much of their off-handed microscopic minded comments as I care to hear!) is a quote from George Santyana,

Those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it!

Gold Bugs Emerging in Some Unlikely Places

I was reading an article on valuation of silver junior mining companies
this evening, but when I went to reduce the chart I had enlarged and that accompanied the article, a young lady had so ably written, I lost the screen!
How can I track this article down, I can't seem to find it. Do you have the exact title and author.

Thank you.
