Gold Daily And Silver Weekly Charts – The Improbable In Service To The Insatiable

“With only twenty millions of coin, and three or four hundred millions of circulating paper, public and private, nothing is necessary but a general panic, produced either by failures, invasions, or any other cause, and the whole visionary fabric vanishes into air, and shows that paper is poverty, that it is only the ghost of […]

The S&P 500 sank to its modest -0.25% intraday low shortly after the opening bell. With no economic news on tap, the focus of the day would be the afternoon release of the FOMC minutes. Sure enough we got a typical 2 PM fast-money trade, with the index rising to its 0.32% intraday high (a […]
New World Currency Backed By Gold Or Silver?

New World Currency Backed By Gold Or Silver?

History has proven that 100% of fiat currencies have failed the test of time. The average life span of a fiat currency is 40-50 years. With the US dollar now in it’s 44th year it makes you wonder if the end of the greenback is near. The only money that has held the test of time […]
