Many modern economists struggle to define money. Often beginning with an historical overview of the concept of moneyness, they generally end by describing the functions of money. But what money "does" is not a definition of what money is.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Dan Oliver, founder of Myrmikan Capital in New York, told the New Orleans Investment Conference last week that nothing has changed in 2,500 years in regard to gold's near-perfect monetary characteristics and government's inability to be responsible with money. Monetary debasement, Oliver showed, is almost as old as money itself, even as its various forms grow more sophisticated.

Early this yea, high premiums developed for Comex bars in the U.S. thanks to fears of tariffs on importing silver (and gold). In response traders shipped an estimated 300 tons of silver from London to New York to alleviate that squeeze.

I opened this year's New Orleans Conference by asking the assembled crowd a direct question: "How does it feel to be right?"
As I then explained, gold's historic bull market was proving us correct in every one of our long-held, often-disparaged views.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
While monetary metals prices stand near record levels, their recent smashdowns in the futures markets show that the struggle against market manipulation isn't over. We're gaining but we haven't yet won.

ESTER, Alaska -- At a mining site here, Rod Blakestad cracked open a shiny rock with his pick. He found quartz, a sign that the rock may contain gold.
But Blakestad, a veteran gold hunter, tossed the rock aside. He and his team of geologists were searching for something even more sought-after: antimony, an obscure element widely used in the defense industry that is now at the center of the bitter U.S.-China trade fight.

For weeks, 67-year-old Le Thi Minh Tam has been scouring Hanoi for gold to give her son at his upcoming wedding, battling long queues outside shops whose stock sells out fast.
