Tim Iacono It’s been an interesting few hours of trading in the precious metals markets as “unstoppable” silver seems to be anything but that on this Friday, meandering around level for the day while the gold price surges almost more than $30 an ounce. Whether or not silver pierces that $50 level remains to be seen, but it doesn’t look like...

by Tyler Durden For months Bill Gross has been very vocally antagonizing the US Treasury by telling anyone who cared to listen that US debt is nothing short of the world’s biggest ponzi and that Ben Bernanke is satan. For the longest time Tim Geithner took this effrontery peacefully, always willing to offer the other cheek. Until last night....

An interview with Karen Roche of The Gold Report One sure upshot of the quantitative easing money flooding the stock market will be further distortions, chaos and unpredictability that make the value-investing proposition difficult, if not impossible, according to Casey Research Chairman Doug Casey.

“If you’re only managing $100 million, it’s a sign you’re not credible,” said my friend, John Thomas. “On Wall Street, $100 million is chump change. My mentor and friend, Barton Biggs, manages BILLIONS of dollars at Traxis.” “That’s what it takes to be taken seriously,” he added. Obviously, Wall Street is a totally different...

The dollar continues to control the equities and commodities market with its inverse relationship to them. The past couple years it seems that the dollar does what it wants and the all other investments move according to their relationship with rising or falling dollar prices. Most of you know that I follow the dollar very closely. And each morning...
