James Turk on Gold and Silver (Part II)

If I read Turk's explanation correctly a member can only transfer gold to or receive gold from another member. that's very limiting to the user of gold to pay a bill unless millions of accounts exist. How many accounts are there now?

As to CEF, it sells sat a premium most of the time.When it's zero or negative BUY and then get a booster gain when it goes positive again.

Uranium Investing: The Chinese Are Coming

Perhaps it would be more "protective" to invest in the industry via ETFs such as NLR or the new PKN. Advice gratefully accepted.

Why Gold Juniors Have Not Yet Popped

All said and done, they will start popping when they are done pooping - and not before.

Where are Precious Metals Headed in 2008?

Ok Dr Shostak, great explanation of "power" beyond the control of us little guys. Please tell us powerless ones how best to protect what we have worked for and saved over many years.

Western Goldfields to Profit from Rising Yellow Metal Prices

I thought it manditory that those who use this site to say good things about a stock declare whether or not they have a financial interest in it????????

Gold ETF Inventory at a New All-Time High

Lord help us if they ALL decide to dump at one time!

IAU: Can Spot Gold Continue Its Tear?

How do we know for sure that IAU, SLV, GLD, CEF and other precious metal ETFs are in possession of actual metal rather than someone elses promissory paper? There is a great opportunity to just hold paper and use our invesrted money in some other risky scheme.

Lighting Science to Benefit from Multi-Billion Dollar LED Market

iShares Silver Trust: A Potentially Risky Market Hedge

Ah, but how sure are you that Morgan-Chase has stored actual metal and is not instead storing paoper promises of ownership? What independent party counts the real metal and how often? When it comes to money and precious metals trust no one esp financial organizations that deal in make believe substitutes. Think like sub-prime paper!

Gold ETFs Cut Down On Physical Metal Trade

Ah, but do GLD and IAU (and SLV) have actual metal in their possession or just some paper promising them that amounts of metal have been assigned to them? Or, who at the ETF counts the physical metal to assure the investors really have direct ownership and acess rather than some one elses promise that it exists? Seems like we may be buying paper and not physical metal -would make existing above ground supply look larger than reality.

Where is the North American Natural Gas Market Headed?

Ah yes, gas from shale depletes quickly. But not so for coal bed methane. It is present at many times greater amounts disolved in the coal, releases slower and actually increases its release rate as the well ages.

Encore Acquisition: Oilfield Recovery Efforts Bring Stock Back In Favor

Re:EAC. If its worth today's $29 then HOGC (coalbed methane) should go for 3 times its current $10. One of them is over priced or under priced!
