Volatile week for precious metals as big shorts start covering
12:08p ET Saturday, October 1, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):
In the weekly review of the precious metals market at King World News, Bill Haynes of CMI Gold and Silver reports steady retail buying and no panic, while futures market analyst Dan Norcini remarks that huge volatility produced little net change in prices for the week. But Norcini adds that the usual big commercial shorts in the metals lately have been covering their positions. You can listen to their comments at King World News here:

Lewis E. Lehrman on How to Solve the U.S. Debt Problem
Lewis E. Lehrman, chairman of the Lehrman Institute, sponsor of The Gold Standard Now project, advises that to reduce the $1 1/2 trillion U.S. deficit, the Republican Party must initiate an investment program.
Working Americans are not saving, which enables the banks to lead the country into a cycle of debt, leverage, boom, panic, and bust.
Lehrman says: Eliminating the budget deficit of a trillion and a half dollars cannot be done overnight. The proposal by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan was very dramatic -- one Republican called it radical -- but it was not happily received. The solution, of course, is to design an American program for prosperity, because you can solve these entitlement problems with a growing economy. We need a tremendous program of investment, and investment comes from savings. When you pay savers, middle-income professionals, and working people 0 percent at the bank, you are not going to encourage them to save. Then we are left with a bank cycle of debt, leverage, boom, panic, and bust."
