In the last post, I mentioned Richard Russell’s views on gold. Recently, he declared that he was extremely bullish on silver as well:
January 6, 2010. They call it “the poor man’s gold.” But don’t turn your nose up at silver. The dollar was originally defined in terms of silver. When precious metals are on [...]

I just got an email from a company that I have previously bought gold coins from. They said that the US Mint has temporarily suspended the sale of 1 ounce Gold Eagles but the 1/10th ounce gold Eagles would actually resume. For the first time in a year, 345,000 coins would be made available to [...]

What if the US government were to revert back to the gold standard? At what price of gold would we peg the dollar?
In 1971, the US government had 280 million ounces of gold [source]. Assuming that the sale of gold by the US mint is inconsequential, and that the amount of gold today is the [...]
