In the town of Braintree Massachusetts you must be 21 years old to sell precious metals to a dealer and the dealer must wait 30 days before selling acquired precious metals to a refinery. Do they realize how much the price can swing in 30 days? Not to mention the use of gold and silver is specifically authorized in the Constitution, which I would agree is a worthless piece of paper.

Are precious metals really a good protection of wealth in a hyperinflationary and taxed regime? Does an "inflation tax" wipe out most of the gains one could stand to make by investing in precious metals while a currency collapses? Are additional strategies required to realize appropriate gains from metals speculation?

If you want to dive into the precious metals world head first, and get a pretty decent inoculation against all the financial propaganda, The Keiser Report with Max Keiser is a pretty valuable resource. In fact, on list of the 25 Most Dangerous People in Finical Media (in a good way), Joshua Brown at the Huffington Post lists Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert (his fiancé and co-host) as #1.

Max Keiser makes things very difficult for the financial elites, primary by exposing them, and explaining their antics in a way that approaches layman’s terms.

If the dollar failed tomorrow and gold and silver took its place...Heck Yes!! Is it safe to say that the buying power of an ounce of silver or gold would match that of their current spot prices. In other words 1 ounce of silver would buy about $19.00 worth of goods and gold would buy apx. $1,200.00 worth of goods. Or would their values change dramatically therefore their buying power would be worked out overtime by the market.

Federal agents have launched parallel criminal and civil probes of JPMorgan Chase and its trading activity in the precious metals market, The Post has learned.

One of my friends recently got into a debate over monetary issues. It seems there’s a rather large number of US residents that are unaware of what makes money good or bad. To alleviate this, I’m going to list the properties any good currency should have. I’ll also compare 3 currencies to see how they measure up: the US Dollar (aka Federal Reserve Notes), precious metals (gold and silver), bitcoin.

Most science fiction is silent on the issue of money. Usually characters swap nondescript digital “credits”. The currencies of the future must combine the stability of precious metals, and the fluidity of digital exchange.

To get to the bottom of the Silver Price Suppression fiasco we contacted Ron Hera, a close friend of the Silver Circle team. Ron is the founder of Hera Research, LLC, and the principal author of its newsletter. He’s an outspoken advocate of the free market, and Austrian economics. He holds a master’s degree from Stanford University and is a member of Mensa and of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. His articles provide deeply researched analysis to help investors in commodities and precious metals. So, of course we went to him for answers about silver price manipulation.

Here's a head scratcher: as everyone knows from elementary chemistry courses, gold is the most inert metal in the world - it does not rust, nor corrode. Yet this is precisely what Russian commercial precious metal trading company, International Reserve Payment System, discovered on thousands of (allegedly) 999 gold coins "St George" (pictured insert) issued by the Central Russian Bank.
