Is it Inflation or Deflation? by Peter Degraaf - November 4, 2008 - When the monetary authorities inflate the system it takes a while before the newly created funds filter down and before people catch on. They want you to believe that 'asset deflation' (lower prices for stocks and commodities) translates into monetary deflation. The two are quite different.

A Letter to Our Clients by Joseph Iorio - October 23, 2008 - We have had a great number of customers wanting to know why there is a huge difference between the spot silver and the current selling prices. I will try to explain it to the best of my understanding.

Anti-Money Laundering Law by Joseph Iorio - October 7, 2008 - We are presently dealing with an economic melt-down. Fiat money is not working and has failed now. With all the present currency controls it would be easy to control what could and could not be redeemed for a new currency. We are not far from martial law. Printing money is easy and cheap. Gold and silver are real and difficult to replace.

Smart Money is Moving to Tangible Assets by Joseph Iorio - October 2, 2008 - Who wouldn't want to own commodities when the U.S. banking system is failing, when the U.S. economy is unstable, when the printing of U.S. fiat money continues, and when the US dollar is in decline and losing its position as the world's reserve asset of preference? To be unprepared is to be vulnerable for some very serious lifestyle corrections.

$2,500 Gold by Peter Degraaf - September 18, 2008 - The action in gold and silver during the past few days is an indication of how rapid the price rise can be. Like a beach ball held under water, the deeper you push the ball the faster it rises once released. The commercial gold traders who were net short 247,000 contracts and have reduced this position to being net short 94,000 contracts as of last week. The commercial traders could tell that the beach ball was about to pop up.

A Tale of Two Silvers by Peter Degraaf - August 26, 2008 - Once-upon-a-time in 'never-never' land there were two competing silver prices. These two silver prices were at loggerheads with each other. Every time the 'real' silver price began to rise, a 'paper' silver price would show up in large quantities and scare some of the holders of real silver to dump and run.

The August Lows are Upon Us by Peter Degraaf - August 6, 2008 - Gold is amazingly cheap right now. People who have resisted the temptation to buy the June low will usually take advantage of this last opportunity before the start of the Christmas rally that seems to happen almost every year.

Breakout by Peter Degraaf - June 20, 2008 - Gold is breaking out on the upside today after having been contained in a bullish pennant formation for the past 93 days. Virtually every year we witness a Christmas rally in gold with the seasonal lows coming in the spring, following a correction towards the 200DMA.

The Fuse is Lit and the Rocket is Rising! by Peter Degraaf - May 17, 2008 - It's amazing how many people out there still do not understand the basic bullish fundamentals of the gold market. Even a large number of analysts are providing their clients with erroneous advice by telling them to 'wait for a bottom.' Many of these clients could well be facing the problem of looking back ruefully at the bottom, long after it is in place.
