An Economist Rebukes The Economist

By Keith Weiner, Monetary Metals

When government uses force to interfere in markets, it promises improved outcomes. However, the opposite inevitably occurs.

Alarming Developments in GLD ETF Reaffirm Need to Own PHYSICAL Gold

By Clint Siegner, Director at Money Metals Exchange

The world’s largest gold exchange traded fund (ETF) seems to be having a lot of trouble when it comes to accounting.

A Run On Gold And Silver Is Starting

By Dave Kranzler, Mining Stock Journal

But don’t mistake buying GLD and SLV for buying and self-safekeeping physical gold and silver. The integrity of GLD and SLV is highly questionable.

It’s Not Often I Get to Proclaim “THE FED IS DEAD” Then Watch the Fed Put on the Toe Tag!

By David Haggith, The Great Recession Blog

Survival of the Biggest

By John Mauldin, Thoughts from the Frontline

In its purest form, capitalism is an evolutionary process. Businesses that best adapt to changing conditions survive and grow.
