Gold And Silver – Your Economical survival Depends On them
By: Michael Noonan
We had planned on writing about China's emergence as the world's new superpower, while the United States keeps sliding into Third World status, but we cannot escape the more cogent political implications/ramifications of the diverging paths between the two countries. Actually, the United States has turned direction from a positive influence to a negative one with almost all other countries in the world.

5 CHARTS: The Real Story Behind Silver
By: Steve St. Angelo, SRSrocco Report
As the world continues down the road of self-destruction via its highly leveraged paper financial markets, there's a much more fascinating story worth looking at. Hidden from the majority of the public and misunderstood by many of the so-called professional metal analysts, is the Real Story Behind Silver.

There Is Too Little Gold in the West
By: Alasdair Macleod
Western central banks have tried to shake off the constraints of gold for a long time, which has created enormous difficulties for them. They have generally succeeded in managing opinion in the developed nations but been demonstrably unsuccessful in the lesser-developed world, particularly in Asia. It is the growing wealth earned by these nations that has fuelled demand for gold since the late 1960s. There is precious little bullion left in the West today to supply rapidly increasing Asian demand. It is important to understand how little there is and the dangers this poses for financial stability.

The Fate of Dollar Hegemony
By: Andy Sutton
Despite the quiet nature of things lately from a geopolitical standpoint, coupled with the mainstream media’s obsession with new nominal highs in the various paper indexes, there is definitely turbulence below the surface. There have already been a number of thought-provoking articles written regarding the future of dollar hegemony and the purpose of this week’s piece is to hopefully add to the discussion and stimulate some thought.

Profit from The Bitcoin Tulipmania & The Gold Cartel
By: Deepcaster
It is no secret that an investment in Bitcoins – the Digital Non-National Currency – has generated Phenomenal Profits recently. Profits, that is, for those who bought early and chose to sell before the recent Chinese “Bitcoin Veto” Announcement. But as an unbacked Fiat Currency, (i.e., unbacked by any Tangible Asset such as Gold and thus without Intrinsic Value) Bitcoin is more than a Bit Vulnerable to Tulipmania, that is, to Speculative Booms and Crashes and Ultimate Destruction – the Fate of all such Fiat Currencies in World History.

Does the FDA Think You’re Stupid?
By: Chris Wood, Senior Analyst
Does the FDA think you're too stupid to have access to your own genetic information? It sure seems so. The Food and Drug Administration, which bills itself as "the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the US federal government," probably stirs up more emotion among citizens than any other federal agency (save perhaps for the IRS). For good reason. The range of activities into which the FDA is "mandated" to poke its supervisory fingers is vast and includes most prominently the regulation of most types of foods, dietary supplements, medical devices, human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products, and cosmetics.

The Hard Money Investment Portfolio
By: Dr. Jeff Lewis
It appears that the enlightened investor is now more likely to use Bitcoin to diversify their portfolio rather than physical precious metals held in their possession. Recent price performance and sentiment have all but wiped precious metals off the map - even for the most prudent of value investors.

Ugly Is As Ugly Does
By: Warren Bevan
A bit of a choppy week for markets which corrected a bit before looking to have put in a bottom then flipping back to looking like more downside was needed before a large gap opening Friday on good job numbers.
