In spite of not normally looking back, I have had a look at a Newsletter that I wrote in July 2009 when gold was just over $900 and the Dow 9,100. It was called “The Dark Years are here” and received quite a lot of attention at the time. This was at the end of the sub-prime crisis when the Dow ha...

We are now seeing an overwhelming body of evidence coming together to suggest that gold and silver have hit bottom, and that even if they haven't, the bottom is very close and downside risk is very limited.

The end of Greece’s “guardianship” by Brussels, the ECB and the IMF on Monday, August 20, was touted as a victory by the media. If we are to judge by their headlines, the Greek crisis is over. Should we then believe everything is going better?

Owning physical gold for wealth protection purposes is the best preserved secret in the West. In this part of the world, virtually nobody holds gold.
