Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars, appeared on Fox Business last week to talk about currencies. While Rickards made it clear that he didn’t have any faith in the dollar, he really wanted to talk about the bullish fundamentals for gold investing throughout most of the interview. Labor force participation is crashing… Look at the […]

Howard Davidowitz, an expert retail analyst, spoke with Yahoo! Finance about Walmart’s poor earnings report and what it indicates for the rest of the US economy. The economy is in a state of collapse… I think there’s a 50% chance we’ll be in a recession next year… That’s after spending $7 trillion dollars, printing trillions, […]

The majority of precious metals scams prey on the uninformed, which is one of the reasons we started this blog. Just a little knowledge about best buying practices when shopping for gold and silver can prevent all sorts of nightmares. However, there are a handful of dealers that have started to find ways of tricking […]

Fox Business spoke with Peter Schiff yesterday about the growing number of Americans renouncing their US citizenship because of onerous taxes and regulations.

Lewis E. Lehrman, author of the new book, Money, Gold, and History, spoke at the Cato Institute last month about the history of central banking and the destruction of the gold standard. Lehrman’s lengthy talk is a great introduction to the rise and fall of real money. His new book includes 40 years of essays […]

Bob Alderman, Managing Director for the World Gold Council, speaks about the enduring value of gold and the yellow metal’s current role in a long-term investment strategy. The case for owning gold is a simple supply and demand story, [and] it has always been that way. What’s changed over the past several months is that […]

By Peter Schiff I’ve been emphasizing for months that the current correction in the gold price is a result of speculative money fleeing the market and not any reflection of gold’s long-term fundamentals.
