There's risk of holding anything other than physical metal if the counterparty decides to settle-up in cash. There is also risk in holding physical metal via theft. ]]> Thu, 30 May 2013 07:28:26 -0400

Why Current Fed Money Printing Will Lead To Higher Gold And Silver Prices
http://seekingalpha.co...

As for withdrawing stimulus, one thing I can guarantee is that the Fed will talk a lot, but they'll be super slow to take action even if inflation is rising. There is no way that a Bernanke/Yellen Fed will withdraw stimulus too fast - that is not in their DNA.]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:18:41 -0400

I've never supported the idea of hyperinflation in the U.S. though I think we'll get much higher levels of inflation eventually (and eventually just drew nearer with the current 2.5x times the rate of global money printing in 2013 vs. 2008-2012). ]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:59:06 -0400

I find it difficult to believe that so few people think what began in 2008 will all end well (or that it has already ended well).]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:53:39 -0400

I didn't mean to imply that you could take your gold coins down to the 7-11 to buy a Slurpee but, rather, that gold has served as money for thousands of years, up until a few decades ago.
In that a rising gold price makes fiat money look bad (i.e., "to some extent" in the above excerpt), gold is in competition with current day money.]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:48:01 -0400 I was wrong.

The latest news is that they're going to soften the blow for small savers and take more from the big accounts, but it sounds like they're locked in to the "raid the savings accounts" approach.]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2013 18:30:03 -0400

Re: the head - I've not come across anything to distinguish a triple bottom from a head-and-shoulders bottom aside from the middle low being lowest in the latter. If there is a minimum difference between the head and shoulders for it to be called such, that's not something that is easy to find.
As for the pattern coming after an extended uptrend, not an extended decline, that seems to pop up in nearly all the definitions and, as such, I guess I'll have to think of something else to call this.]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:54:08 -0400 To be clear, I've never referred to this as a completed pattern, just a "developing" one.

Per StockCharts (http://bit.ly/WPYp1d):

"The pattern contains three successive troughs with the middle trough (head) being the deepest and the two outside troughs (shoulders) being shallower."

In what respects does this not fit the definition?]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2013 14:36:23 -0400

That's not correct. I've always advocated about 20-30 percent which isn't really that far out of the mainstream. If memory serves, CNBC's Jim Cramer recommended 25 percent not long ago.

I'll be out with another article - probably this week - about why this isn't the end of the gold bull market. ]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2013 13:54:21 -0500

I think we'll be getting a pretty good whiff of inflation in the months ahead that will turn things around.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:19:48 -0500

"The Dutch are now considering bringing back 300+ tonnes of their gold reserves held in New York and, last week, Swiss newspapers reported that a campaign to repatriate the nation’s gold reserves is close to reaching its target of 100,000 signatures that could trigger a referendum on the issue, similar to the sequence of events that led to the announcement by Germany. At over 1,000 tonnes, Switzerland has the world’s seventh largest gold reserves and this initiative also calls for a doubling of their gold holdings and a prohibition on future sales."

I haven't heard anything about it in recent weeks.]]> Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:46:34 -0500
