  • Silver Prices Are About to Fall [View article]
    I don't think JP boys will want to part with the remaining silver stockpile. In a currency "what if" event that silver is only like 1.75 billion. Oprah alone could corner silver market. And how many billionaires and millionaires are there in the world?!

  • India's Gold Purchase: A Complete Non-Event [View article]
    Although I always assumed Nadler is being paid to write against gold and silver, my final aha moment came when Nadler one day said: Don’t be a fool, wait for the end of depression to buy silver for $6 in 2012. The next day he writes: Roubini on CNBC declares the worst is over, than he goes on to quote many sources on how economy is back on it’s feet. At the end of the article to paraphrase his conclusion, it sounded something like this: “all you gold bugs thought the sky is falling, what a complete morons you are”
    This guy will spin his lies anyway he can

  • ETF Securities Plans a Physical Palladium ETF [View article]
    Did you even look at the reasons of 2001 palladium spike???
    Your comment falls in the same category: price of gold 1981: $250,
    price of gold 2000: $250. Year 2000 conclusion: gold is for morons.

    Palladium can do almost as much as platinum and even more. That being said, a metal 10 times more rare than gold, so many current uses, and promising future uses seems like no brainer

  • The Need for a New Security in Rare Metals New Production [View article]
    Tell me if I'm wrong, but where is the logic behind recent REE mining stocks run up? Rhenium cost around $193 per troy ounce. Many REE are rarer than platinum, but are much cheaper in price. If platinum or other PGM mining is barely profitable at these price levels, how REE company is expecting to make profits? No wonder many where on the brink of collapse, until Chinese stepped up.

  • Why German Customers at Austrian Banks Are Suddenly Silver Bulls  [View article]
    Someone please help and correct me if I'm wrong: When traveling through EU countries, members of the Schengen treaty (which Austria and Germany are part of) you are not subjected to any import/export taxes up to a specific amount. Bullion in any amount is excluded?

  • The Rise of the Silver Surfer [View article]
    SLW just paid all their debt with stock dilution, and as long as silver above 3.99 they make profit. I just don't see scenario of silver approching anywhere near that level. Besides they have producers, in stable countries, such as Sweden, Greece, mining friendly Mexico. So SLW, is very safe. All silver sales done in Cayman Islands, so it's tax free!

  • Gold and Economic Freedom: Reinterpreted for the 21st Century [View article]
    When it comes to Buffet and Gold, I'm sorry to say but Buffet ain't no Oracle, if he lost 50% in 2008. Author of the "Black Swan" correctly anticipated 2008 crisis and made huge profits. Besides he right on the money every time. That sounds more like Oracle to me.
