As the demand for precious metals shows some life once again, sales of the U.S. Mint Silver Eagles jumped in January.  Not only have Gold, and Silver Eagle sales increased, so have the precious metals prices.  In the past two months, gold and silver prices have...

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell placed his put in stocks while saying there is none. When he doubled down today on a more dovish approach to the economy, Powell claimed the Fed is not designing interest rates to keep the market climbing. If that is true,...
