I read the New York Times -- but only so that you don't have to. Often as not, it's painful to peruse the raw sophistry and unreflective bias in many of the news articles, let alone the poison-pen editorial page, but still I power through. 

Fortunately, though, the world offers many other news sources which help me figure out what’s happening across the globe.

Gold is up over 87% since January 2024 and is knocking on the door of $4,000 an ounce. But even with the rapid price surge, Miller said gold is not overpriced.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The U.S. Federal Reserve is the only major entity still running short positions in gold and silver, London metals trader Andrew Maguire says in this week's edition of Kinesis Money's "Live from the Vault" program.

Maguire adds that, as your secretary/treasurer and others long have speculated, the bullion banks nominally carrying short positions in the monetary metals are actually just executing Federal Reserve positions. "No bullion bank is short for its own book," Maguire asserts.

Paul Brownstein: Morgan Stanley displaces bonds for gold

Morgan Stanley just blinked.

After decades of worshiping at the altar of 60/40 (stocks/bonds), they have shifted to 60/20/20 (stocks/bonds/gold). Gold now has a real seat at the table.

Nobody likes to go first -- not in markets, not in start-ups, not in fashion. But once the ice breaks, the floodgates can open.
