by Miguel Perez-Santalla, BullionVault

Friday, 12 April 2013

 

How many people buying gold or silver today are experts when it comes to physical metal?

 

I REMEMBER starting out in the industry of foreign currency exchange and precious metals back in the early 1980s.

 

It was exciting; I mean I really enjoyed it. I started in the vault; I was allowed to handle currencies from all over the world. In [...]

2016: Chelsea Clinton Collecting Email Addresses for Mom’s Run?

From CNS News:

Despite her denials, it’s widely speculated that Hillary Clinton may run for president in 2016, and if she does, she’ll need as many email addresses as possible to send out fund-raising solicitations and spread her political message.

Therefore it may be noteworthy that Chelsea Clinton is suddenly helping the family’s Clinton Foundation collect email addresses.

In a “Dear Friend” message sent Thursday to people on Democratic lists, Chelsea says she’s gathering “thank-you” [...]

The 25 “everyday survival” items you should always have with you

From LewRockwell.com:

Yes, we all know that an end of world event could happen at any time. However, I look at things statistically and realistically. I think I have a greater chance of getting into a car accident than getting hit with an asteroid or meteor.

So I first focus on my little corner of the world. Even if there is a catastrophic event, you still need to get to your “go” [...]

GATA – Brodsky and Quaintance: Central banks aim to redistribute gold and push it way up gata.org

6:26p ET Tuesday, May 15, 2012

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In their May letter, Paul Brodsky and Lee Quaintance of QB Asset Management in New York argue that the investment case for gold is to a great extent a matter of its likely official revaluation upward to support confidence-based currencies that have lost the market’s confidence.

As improbable as it may seem lately, what with the constant suppression of gold and [...]

The world’s largest economies, including the US, Europe, Japan, and China are speeding for the equivalent of a brick wall. In short, I believe that before this crisis is over, we will experience the Greater Depression my dear friend and business partner Doug Casey has long anticipated.

Possible Scam Alert: 37 Food Items You Should Hoard

After hearing the Simon Black podcast, I visited the SovereignMan.com web site, liked what I saw, and signed up for the newsletter. The information in the “free” part of the newsletter is sometimes interesting, and I’ve enjoyed some of them.

I’ve noticed, however, that sometimes products are pushed – sometimes a little much. Okay, no big deal.

But the most recent one I received was an e-mail about “37 food items you should [...]

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

More evidence that GATA’s understanding of the gold market is increasingly shared comes this week from the Swiss brokerage house EFT Financial Products in Zurich, which, in a brochure marketing its new gold-related products, notes that much if not most of the gold the Western world thinks it has is only imaginary “paper gold.” Page 12 of the brochure says:
