Silver Prices Are About to Fall

You'd be AMAZED at the number of so-called "educated Americans" who somehow, amazingly, still believe the world starts at the Statue of Liberty and ends at the Golden Gate Bridge.

China is still taking batting practice; for them, the game hasn't even begun.

For the U.S., the game is long-ago over, and the "team" is still on the field trying to figure out how they lost.

Silver Prices Are About to Fall

The dollar carry trade is here to STAY for as long as the US$ is the currency equivalent of Charmin, and the Fed isn't about to stop the pre$$e$ now running at redline RPM, as the Sikorskis keep taking off from the Wizard Of Oz Memorial Heliport. The $ is the new Yen, and will be for the next 20 years, just as the Yen was for 20 years.

Silver Prices Are About to Fall

Buffett is buying railroads because they're going to be the most efficient way of moving what few goods there will be to move when diesel is $10 a gallon and still rising. He's not making any huge bet on the American economy, he's making a Hobson's Choice.

Silver Prices Are About to Fall

Sounds like 'ole Avery is about to get the Margin Call Of His Life on his silver shorts. That's why he's trying so desperately to convince himself - and, by extension, us readers - of something he doesn't really believe. Intellectual dishonesty is the first haven of panic.

GDX: A Catalyst for Junior, Emerging Miners

Van Eck is bringing out one, also; will be available when the prospectus clears, if it hasn't already. SA has the story here:

Jeffrey Christian: Foreseeing Bright Days for Metals

"The other thing is that for the dollar to collapse, some other currency has to rise very sharply."

That "some other currency" is GOLD ITSELF, Mr. Christian. Gold IS a currency.

No Silver Lining for Precious Metal Bugs

You provide yet another wonderful example of someone who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing. Keep up the good work.

Bolivia: A Blizzard of Misinformation on Mining and Everything Else

To Mr. Ecclestone's list, I'd like to offer Franklin Mining, FMNJ-PK. For the better part of half a decade, Franklin has been quietly pursuing the restart of another of Bolivia's fabled mines, the Escala. And they've gone about it the right way, making sure all the right palms have been greased at all the right times. As a result, they have a solid working relationship with COMIBOL and are about to go into full-scale production at Escala. Any problems with this picture? Sure, there always are. #1, it's a "pinkie", #2 it has lots of shares outstanding. But at $.0004 a share - yes, you read right, $.0004 a share, think of it as a perpetual call on Bolivian mining.
Your mileage may vary.

Commodity Roundup: What To Be Bullish On Now

That one reason is reason enough. Who's going to produce at a loss for very long? Price-below-production cost has always been the floor since the dawn of history. No different now.
