While the precious metals didn’t fare so well this past week, many super moves in stocks did occur making it another just fantastic week for us.  We’re on a huge roll here and I’d like to see it continue but that is up to the market, not me.

The last week has been a fright fest for the gold “community”. But these are the financial markets, not a community. There is a world outside of whatever is going on in gold and silver.

What is currently going on in gold and silver is nothing short of a concerted effort to crush PM advocates.  It is a measure of how desperate the central banking cabal has become.  In our last Commentary, we stated that central planners/bankers would stop at no
