Still all in on Gold and the Gold sector. My Gold is not for sale or trading, it is my cash and cash is king in a secular bear market. My Gold stocks are speculative vehicles with significant inherent risk that I largely trade in and out of, for better or for worse. I remain … Continue reading

According to Adolf Hitler: “Gold in the hands of the public is an enemy of the state.” I wonder what he meant by this? Was Hitler retarded? Did he have a childhood marred by parental beatings with Gold plated items? Why would he say such a thing? Here’s another Hitler quote on Gold: Gold is … Continue reading

Could Gold and the Dollar rally together? It is possible in 2010

The rise and fall of paper currency notes relative to one another in the current economic setting reminds me of a seesaw – one currency goes up, then it goes down while its pair currency does the opposite. One currency may rise a little more in net terms over a period of time or vice versa based on various factors.

This concept ignores the nominal price of Gold (i.e. ignores the currency effect, which is difficult for paperbugs but easy for long term Gold bulls) and focuses on the price of Gold relative to the price of other commodities as a ratio.

It really is a war of this proportion. It really is the Gold holder versus “The State” when there is a paper fiat currency system in place. The U.S. Mint has suspended American Gold Eagle coin production AGAIN, citing rising demand (link here). My comment from the last piece I did when the U.S. Mint … Continue reading

Since up is down and left is right in an anchorless fiat currency world, one must keep a perspective on things. As a Gold investor, I am not exactly bullish on the U.S. Dollar. However, I also am not bullish on other international paper currencies, either. I wouldn’t place faith in the Euro, the British … Continue reading

Most Gold bulls are silver bulls. The 1970s is the reason why and because inflation that occurs when a secular commodity bull cycle is in effect tends to flow into both precious metals.
