QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I heard you on Infowars. I understand how the gold standard would not solve anything for the problem is politicians and not what we call money. Some think that you can create a floating gold standard so gold would be money but not fixed. I really have a hard time seeing where […]

QUESTION: Hi Martin, What advice can you give for buying gold coins? Rare coins can have a small or large premium based on all sorts of metrics. How do premiums perform in crisis? Are very rare coins a good strategy? What percent of net worth would you advise in metals? Thanks for a great blog, […]

We need gold to close above 1187.50 tomorrow to signal that a further upside is possible. We need a daily closing above 1206 to suggest pushing higher. If we can get a weekly closing ABOVE 1210, then we can see a pop up to the key technical resistance at the 1285 area. Caution is ADVISABLE. The further we […]

(1998–2001). In May 2002, Turnbull appeared before the Insurance Commission and was questioned on Goldman Sachs’s involvement in the possible privatization of one of the acquisitions of the collapsed insurance company. So while people make up wild […]

Malaysia is becoming the poster-child for the crisis in emerging markets. The rising tensions between the people and government are clearly demonstrated by this story developing within the emerging markets. In Malaysia, we hear the central bank is recommending criminal prosecution in connection with the controversial investment fund 1MDB, the BBC reported. 1MDB was a sovereign wealth fund that was set up by Malaysian […]

A number of people have wrote in to ask about the proposition that gold should rise to be equal to the Dow because that is where it had reached in 1980. Sorry, there is no way. In 1980 when gold was at $875 and the Dow was at 1,000, it was the end of a Public Wave […]
