IRA Epstein's Gold Report
By: Ira Epstein
We’re now at the point of having to adjust to the eventuality of the Fed stopping its QE programs. Don’t think this won’t happen, it will. The question is when and that’s a very big unknown. Given that one of the Fed’s key guides is unemployment which is running near 7.5% and that the Fed has a target of closer to 6.5% for this number, I don’t think there’s need to be concerned about waking up any morning soon to see that the Fed has changed course.

The Biggest Loser Wins
By: Peter Schiff, Euro Pacific Capital
While the world's economies jockey one another for the lead in the currency devaluation derby, it's worth considering the value of the prize they are seeking. They believe a weak currency opens the door to trade dominance, by allowing manufacturers to undercut foreign rivals, and to economic growth, by fighting deflation.

But the demonstrable effects of currency strength and weakness reveal the emptiness of their theory.

'Platinum and Palladium: A Fundamental Shift'

By: Gabriel M. Mueller

Scandals & Economic Disasters!
By: GE Christenson
The migration of gold from West to East is the grand story of the decade. China wants the Yuan to have at least a role in the next global reserve currency. They demand respect. They wish to use their trade advantages in such a manner that results in more power and influence to be gained from their Yuan currency in surplus and their Gold reserves in accumulation. They strive for reserve currency status, but it is a mixed bag of benefits and burdens.

Sprott Is Bullish on Silver—and Gold—Equities
By: The Gold Report and Maria Smirnova
I think you have to remain optimistic that the prices of the commodities, especially silver and gold, turn around. I do not even want to call them commodities, to be honest. I would call them currencies, especially gold. Silver is a hybrid because it also has industrial applications.

Once the turn happens, these stocks could explode in a good sense and completely revalue to the upside. Today, they are at depressed valuations.
