Devaluation of the U.S. Dollar

Without continuing to monetize the debt (QEIII etc), at this point I think we would head into a deflationary depression. Either way, our debt needs to be paid through austerity (deflationary), or defaulted through inflation.
Neither scenario is good, but the FED has made it clear they are trying an orderly devaluation of the dollar.
I just don’t understand why people are surprised at the actions in the precious metals given the state of the world’s reserve currency.

Spot Gold Price

Gold will go up for some time. Probably until the massive sovereign debt unwinds. I don’t know about $3,000 an ounce but it is possible.

So Junior Miners with solid producing properties and proven assayed deposits they can partner to develop, will go back up quicker and some will be buyouts as we’ve seen recently.

Gold - Why You Should Own Some


Will inflation be the only way to bail out an economy consumed by debt?


In the 1930s debt deflation was allowed to take its disastrous course with public spending cuts and trade barriers making an already deteriorating cycle considerably worse.

However, anybody who has just bought into the stock market rally should really think about selling and staying out for a while. This is a time to park money in gold and silver and even exit cash, although you might care to note that cash and precious metals were the best performing asset class of the 70s, while in the 30s gold was the real star.

A new global currency is not the solution. Geithner and the politicians need to curtail the explosion in Washington spending, expanding the debt and destroying the dollar but the real solution is a gold backed currency free of government manipulation.

18 Karat Gold Bathtub Stolden!

In Tokyo, thieves made off with a $987,000 18-karat gold bathtub from the guest bathroom of a luxury hotel. "We have no witness information and there are no video cameras," said a police official. "We have no idea who took it."

That's a pretty ballsy move, stealing a 178-pound gold bathtub (from the 10th floor, no less). Mother lode gold

Largest single mass of gold ever found in Colorado

BRECKENRIDGE - On July 23, 1887, two miners working a lease on the Gold Flake vein on Farncomb Hill, at the head of the renowned French Gulch placer-mining district near here, struck the mother of all lodes - a pocket of gold nuggets the likes of which had never been seen before in Colorado.

In just four hours, miners Tom Groves and Harry Lytton removed more than 243 troy ounces, or 20 pounds, of gold from this pocket, including a single nugget weighing 160 troy ounces. After breaking off two sections, leaving a piece weighing a little more than 136 troy ounces, the jubilant partners headed to town with their find, which Groves carried wrapped in a blanket and cradled in his arms like a baby - Tom’s Baby.

The name stuck, and Tom’s Baby soon became known as the state’s largest gold nugget. Technically, though, this natural wonder wasn’t a nugget at all. A nugget is defined as worn, alluvial (deposited by running water) gold mined from a placer. Tom’s Baby was, instead, a large mass of crystallized lode gold - still the largest ever known to have been mined in Colorado.

Like Edwin Carter’s wildlife specimens, Tom’s Baby also landed, in 1900, in what is now the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where it was displayed as the centerpiece of mining magnate John F. Campion’s private collection of gold from his Breckenridge-area mines. But after several years, the specimen vanished - not only from its display but also from the museum’s inventory. Within decades, most people had forgotten both the spectacular find and the fact that Tom’s Baby had apparently been "kidnapped."

Then in 1972, two large gold pieces weighing 78 and 24 troy ounces were discovered in a Denver bank vault. When fitted together, they formed a specimen that perfectly matched a 1900 photograph of Tom’s Baby (minus 34 troy ounces that somehow became separated from the specimen and had long been considered distinct pieces in the Campion collection).

It seems that museum personnel had accidentally broken Tom’s Baby while cleaning it. The two pieces were subsequently placed in the bank vault for safekeeping - and incredibly, that’s where they stayed for the next half-century. Fortunately, the 102-troy-ounce Tom’s Baby has since been reassembled and today, Colorado’s finest specimen of lode gold is again on display at the Denver museum.

Gold near 5-week high, safe-haven buying supports - Yahoo! News

Gold near 5-week high, safe-haven buying supports - Yahoo! News: "Gold near 5-week high, safe-haven buying supports By Atul Prakash
Wed Jul 12, 6:15 AM ET


LONDON (Reuters) - Gold traded on Wednesday near five-week highs, supported by firm oil prices and nervousness following bomb attacks which killed more than 180 people in India's financial hub of Mumbai.

But there was no big rush to buy as the market digested the news, with focus now shifting to the currency and oil markets and U.S. data on international trade and consumer sentiment, due on Wednesday and Friday respectively.

'It was partly stimulated by the bomb attack in India, but it was also triggered by a good-looking technical picture in the market,' Alexander Zumpfe, a metals trader at Germany's Heraeus Metallhandels-Gesellschaft mbH, said about the price surge.
'Actually there is no big change in sentiment,' he said, adding that people would see price dips as buying opportunities.

Gold climbed to $643 an ounce on Tuesday, its highest since June 5, on investment buying after a series of bombs hit at least seven packed commuter trains during the rush hour in Mumbai.

Spot gold was quoted at $642.00/643.00 an ounce by 0958 GMT, against $642.10/644.10 late in New York." For the real-time N.Y. gold spot price, visit gold miner website.

Gold Price Moves Up

Bloomberg.com: Worldwide: "Gold Rises to Near 1-Month High; ECB May Quicken Rate Increases
July 3 (Bloomberg) -- Gold rose to the highest in almost a month in London on speculation the European Central Bank will quicken the pace of interest rate increases on concern inflation is accelerating.
Investors are increasing bets that the ECB will step up the pace of rate adjustments as faster economic growth and near-record oil prices stoke inflation. Gold had its biggest one-day gain since 2001 on June 30 after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated it may take a break from raising rates, curbing demand for the dollar and boosting the appeal of gold.
``Expectations of a stronger euro and the Fed's less hawkish comments has weakened the dollar, boosting gold,'' said Simon Toyne, an analyst at Numis Securities Ltd. in London. ``Inflation is one of the drivers of gold in the longer term.''

Recent slide fails to squelch gold bugs

globeandmail.com : Recent slide fails to squelch gold bugs: "VANCOUVER -- Gold may have been beaten up in recent weeks, but true believers are not losing faith.
'A $740 [U.S.] per ounce gold price is nothing -- it should be double that,' said Bill Murphy, chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, a Dallas-based group that tirelessly promotes a gold-price suppression theory involving central banks, trading houses and governments.
'This is Mickey Mouse stuff; the real action hasn't even happened yet.'
Mr. Murphy and other gold fans would have taken heart from the precious metal's performance yesterday, when gold prices climbed on reports of weapons testing in North Korea and continuing jitters over nuclear programs in Iran. Prior to that, gold prices had fallen for five consecutive weeks.
But yesterday, gold futures for August delivery rose $8.10 to close at $580.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Prices, which hit a high of $732 an ounce on May 12, are still up 30 per cent from a year ago despite the recent slide.
'The market's gotten enough of a liquidation, it's coming back to look at core fundamentals,' said Frank McGhee, head metals trader at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago. 'Gold will start refocusing on North Korea, Iran and the hurricane season.'
With its reputation as a safe-haven investment, gold tends to rise in times of political turmoil or tension.

Big gain in Gold!

Gold Has Biggest Gain in a Month as Dollar Drops; Silver Climbs
June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Gold had its biggest gain in a month as the dollar fell against the euro on speculation reports today will show a slowdown in U.S. economic growth. Silver rose as much as 6.6 percent.
The U.S. Federal Reserve may say industrial production probably grew 0.2 percent in May, according to the median of 76 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. That would follow a 0.8 percent April gain. A Labor Department report may also show jobless claims rose last week. Gold is rebounding from a three-month low, as the weakening dollar encouraged investors to buy precious metals as alternative investments.
``Gold is moving on the back of the dollar,'' said David Gornall, head of foreign exchange and bullion at Natexis Commodity Markets Ltd. in London. ``The correlation between the dollar and gold seems to be more important now.'' "
