Silver Goes Institutional

The description of the target acquisitions gives a good reason to buy smaller juniors that won't get taken out right away. The stocks I've owned that have been acquired so far have actually not gotten more than a so-so price. I don't know why this is always painted as very desirable, although I did have some nice catchup with Silverstone when it was acquired by Silver Wheaton, which I also hold, because Silver Wheaton has done so well.

Because of all this, I think, for speculation, you can buy the smaller, tenacious juniors with good fundamentals--if you have a little patience.

The True Gold Bull Has Yet to Begin

If you observe fables throughout the ages, as I do, many are based on the idea that gold is of prime value. Therefore, the thought is part of the human mindset, a pool of ideas that are not easy to overcome. If we can overturn the fear of death, the drive to survive as discrete individuals, that's when we will get over the concept of the intrinsic value of gold. Iit's not just an idea, it's quite built into the genetic code, in my opinion. If ANYTHING has value, then gold does.

The gold bull has not yet begun because denial rules. People are being told and would like to believe that we're going to return to a state called "normal." But that's not possible. We crossed the line. We violated certain natural laws and threw a spanner in the works, now will reap what has been sewn. That doesn't mean people can't still lead good lives; i's just that these won't be lives dedicated to consumerism.

Do We Goldbugs Finally Have Your Attention?

Kitco's Jon Nadler has always dissed gold. It's his personality. Go figure. I pay no attention to him. There's nothing wrong at Kitco and I never observed them pumping gold--just keeping the information stream going.

6 Benefits of Investing in Silver ETFs

SILVR audits its physical holdings, I think twice a year. I'm in both but I'm a little nervous about SLV. And, please, no one start shouting about physical versus paper. I have pounds of silver eagles in the house and pounds of gold bullion in coins.

And you trust the Fed to stop monetizing the debt? On what planet?

As for the Buffet bet on Burlington Northern, that's a bet on peak oil, not a bet on growth. It' a bet on diminished trucking and an interesting step at that.

The Problem of Where to Invest

And what if Jim Rodgers and others are right and Nouriel Roubini is wrong? Gold and silver aren't in a bubble--they're undervalued. Rodgers, who is not a perennial gold bull says that Roubini hasn't done his homework. Who else is on the side of gold? John Paulson for one. Marc Faber, who smiles wryly when he predicts financial collapse...

Commodities: How to Trade Like Goldman Sachs

Is Goldman really bearish on gold and silver or is it manipulating gold and silver prices the best it can because of enormous short positions? And even if Goldman were bearish on the PMs, which I don't believe for a second, would that position be correct with India just buying 200 tons from the IMF?

Silver Futures Show Markets Are Acting Strangely

They're hedgers? Meaning they're producing silver and hedging their production? I don't think so. They're manipulators, pure and simple. Where are Gary Gensler and the CFTC and reform?
