The veil is being ripped... the Shanghai stock market crash reveals what the global financial markets would not dare admit: Chinese growth has vanished. Everyone was trying to believe that the official rate of 7% was real, that we could pin our hopes on it, that it would be the engine of the glob...

Carli Blankenship summarizes some of the most significant news that happened in the gold and silver market during the last two weeks.

It is my contention that the Dow/Gold Ratio has just topped out in its uptrend & is soon to head down to new lows (perhaps down to 2:1 or 1:1)

Most people are blissfully ignorant of the fact that 2007-8 was just a mild rehearsal of what we soon are going to experience. The Great Financial Crisis of 2007-9 will now transcend into the Great Financial Catastrophe

China's gold reserves rose by nearly 19 tonnes in July from June, the central bank said on Friday, disclosing its holdings for the second time in two months in a move seen as a Beijing bid to increase transparency.

The world is now at tipping point and this coming autumn we are likely to see the beginning of what I in an 2009 article described as “The Dark Years Are Here”. We are not just going to experience another correction, giving investors yet a chance to buy the dips in a never ending bullm...

On July 17, 2015, China updated its official gold reserves as being 1,658.1 tonnes. Surprised?

On July 29, New York gold price closed at $1,097.20 up $1.60. The dollar was a cent stronger at $1.0963, with the Dollar Index stronger at 97.31 up from 96.64. This morning, July 30, the London LBMA gold price was set at $1,085.65, down $1.10. The euro equivalent was €989.43, down €1.80 on yest...

Since 2002 the trend has been to store Registered gold at COMEX - with over 8.5 million ounces have been stockpiled there.

Here's a good example of why gold is not trading freely in today's markets.

  Gold started a short-term down trend within a longer down trend on June 22 and as of July 3, it is testing it to the upside but has not broken it yet, closing the week at $1,168.40. The longer down trend started around May 20 remains intact.     Silver is also in a downtr...
