Last week Germany’s central bank pompously announced that it had completed its repatriation of $31 billion in gold from Paris and New York, ridiculing earlier speculation that the gold had somehow been compromised. A widely circulated theory was that Germany’s gold had been borrowed by bullion houses and delivered against futures contracts that were sold
Famed investor Jim Rogers recently granted a video interview to a Singapore gold dealer. The video, less than 15 minutes, is worth the time as Rogers is one of the few well-known billionaires who publicly advocates owning gold (although the number is increasing).
The decline of a nation’s money often parallels the decline of the nation. Rome’s money stands as the classic example; Great Britain’s pound is the contemporary example.
Four men, ages 18 to 20, were arrested and charged with the March theft of a 100-kilogram gold coin from the Bode Museum, Berlin, Germany.
Old US gold coins should be gold investors first choices because they now sell at premiums comparable to 1-oz American Gold Eagles. Historically, old US gold coins have carried huge premiums, sometimes as high as 40%. Now, they’re selling at 4% to 6% premiums over the value of their gold content. As this precious metals
For only the second time in 44 years, I’m recommending old US gold coins. The other time was in the 1990s. $20 Libertys and St. Gaudens now are priced competitively with 1-oz American Gold Eagles, the world’s most popular gold bullion coins. This in on a per ounce basis!

Central banks to the rescue Just as the world’s central banks moved to rescue the banking system during the 2008 World Financial Crisis, they are now moving to rescue gold and silver investors, albeit the central banks are not rescuing gold/silver investors wittingly. Nonetheless, they are doing it just the same.
I’m not fond of recommending videos, especially long videos. However, this video interview of David Stockman, Budget Director during the Reagan Administration, is well worth the time. Stockman reminds us of problems and developments that are being ignored. For example, Obama and Congress made a deal years ago to suspend the debt limit until March
Tuesday last week, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonetized 86% of the money in circulation, except for special uses. Ostensibly, it was a move to check black money, i.e., counterfeit money, money that was gotten through graft or corruption and money on which taxes had not been paid. In the four trading days following the
