We can’t count how many articles we saw today, bemoaning gold going down. The price action is bad for gold (whatever that means). China underreported their gold holdings. No, China doesn’t care about gold. No they want the price to go down so they can buy it cheap. No, they want to convince the IMF […]
The prices of the monetary metals cascaded downward this week, and the ratio of the gold price to the silver price rose accordingly. Many analysts and speculators are puzzled. With everything going on in the world, gold should go up. After all, China released its new gold holdings and the banking system in parts of […]
Last week, we concluded with this: “So now, for the first time in about two years, the fundamental price of silver is above the market price, about $0.35 over. … Unless you really like to trade the bleeding edge of a signal change, you may not want to jump in here.

Then, the price rose above its level before the event. Here is a graph of the event, with each tick […]
The price of gold sagged all week. The price of silver took a similar journey, though it was up on Monday. On the week, they were down 25 bucks and 28 cents, respectively. On Friday around midnight Arizona time, there was a flash crash. We will publish a forensic analysis of this event late on […]
To listen to the audio version of this article click here. I have to admit that I derive some pleasure in taking on hoary old myths. For example, some economists assert that the interest rate you see on the Treasury bond is not real. You see, it’s only nominal. To calculate the real rate, they […]
The Fed made an announcement on Wednesday. Moderate consumer spending growth and improving housing sector balanced against soft business investment and exports. Prices are rising, but not as much as the Fed would like. The announcement roiled the markets. Here’s a graph of the 10-year Treasury yield and the S&P Futures up to and after […]
The stories are all over the Internet. Governments are forcing us into a cashless society. Supposedly the pretext is terrorism, and the real reason is to take more control. No doubt more power appeals to politicians, and banning cash seems like the next step after mandatory reporting of cash transactions. However, I think there is […]
