How Much Gold DO You Need?

Go to India, go to Asia, take a trip to the Middle East..Gold = Wealth. Paper is used for daily transactions..only a fool would store his wealth in paper guaranteed by the good faith of a bankrupt government that doesn't even have control over it's issuance.

Are Gold Funds a Buy Again?

"you've got Van Eck's Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) on the ETF side, with $2.38 billion in assets of its own. Ironically, the reason people like GDX is that it sometimes shows more volatility than the price of bullion itself (which may feel counterintuitive with the way gold-mining companies hedge the price of gold. But that's the stock market for you, I guess)."


The Miners in GDX are not hedged

A Strong U.S. Dollar Isn't in Anyone's Best Interest

“A strong dollar is in our national interest,” still echoes through the air in the District of Columbia. Never mind that the strong dollar was largely responsible for the housing boom that led to the current bust."


WHAT! The Dollar was falling fast during the Boom, cheap money and a weak Dollar is what drove housing prices so high. How can a strong Dollar drive prices up?

Why IMF Gold Sales Won't Affect the Gold Market

If they're trying to raise cass wouldn't it benefit them to keep their mouth shut and maintain a high POG?

This Gold will never hit the market, if it really is being sold it will be bought as soon as it's offered. It's just a distraction to keep the POG down while they print a few more Trillion.

If you get suckered out of your Gold then your statement rings true.

Why Gold Is Overpriced

The Creditors of this world are now done playing the Fiat game. Good luck with your paper wealth....it's going to burn

No Paradigm Shift, Just Investor Psychology Creating Great Prices

The Fundamentals are horrible, Consumers are in debt to their eye balls, and the Chinese don't want to buy anymore treasuries. Good Luck!

What's Another $1.15 Trillion?

Nope, I can't solve the worlds problems in 5 minutes but the robbery is in clear sight. The money won't be paid back, if these companies had the ability to pay the money back they never would of needed it in the first place.

The Fed purchased $300 billion in bonds today..where did that money come from? It came from the existing money in your pocket and bank account.

the U.S is BROKE, it is a bankrupt country. We do not have a viable Economy. We do not have the ability to cover our obligations without increasing our money supply. We can not cover our Foreign Debts without inflating our money supply. When you increase the money supply you ROB the people. When you increase taxes to pay for the bailouts you are ROBBING the people.

It does not take a Genius to see that we're being taken to the cleaners.

Jim Rogers Has Gold Coins in His Pockets

If the IMF sells - China, Japan, or Saudi Arabia will thank them for the kind offering and gobble it all up.

They can sell smaller portions at a time but it will only slow Golds rise..better off buying what you can now anything under 900 is a gift..it shouldn't be an expectation

Applaud the move? You've just been ROBBED

Protecting Yourself from a Gold ETF Bubble

"On the other hand, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is now routinely turning over $2 billion worth of trading each day, which might give investors pause. Is it becoming a herd mentality?"

AAPL also turns over $2B a day..what's your point?

you're really not giving Gold the respect it deserves. maybe you haven't noticed that the Worlds Economy is currently imploding? Gold has been and remains Money, when Fiat collapses Gold still shines

What Is Going On With Gold?

Paul - Yes I know. But at 20% we cannot afford to make the interest payment on our debt. We have much more debt then we had in the early 80's and our debt is now in short term treasuries!

we're caught between a rock and a hard place and we have nowhere to move...

A Tale of Two Economies: Manufacturing vs. Services

Is this a joke? How are we better off being a service based Economy? We've been living off of a credit card for the past 20 years and the payment is about to come due. Our "service" Economy has left us in the red for decades.

Borrowing money from overseas so we can spend money on products from overseas is not superior to a manufacturing based Economy that produces true wealth. When foreigners stop investing in our "service" economy we collapse...our Economy isn't much different from the madoff scheme only it's 10,000 times bigger

What Is Going On With Gold?

Paul - Interest rates cannot go up to 25% at 25% the U.S cannot afford the interest payment and we would default.
