Gold and Silver Considered ‘Dangerous Goods’ by FedEx

Posted on by

“Amagi Metals was informed today that FedEx will no longer be shipping contents of more than $2,500 worth of precious metals to Europe and Asia. The company stated that the goods were considered ‘dangerous’….but only in amounts of $2,501 and over?   Once again regulation getting in the way of business. Just to be clear, FedEx is not a private shipping provider. While they do operate differently than the USPS in terms of funding, they are still held to the government rules and regulations when it comes to shipping. I think this calls for a new shipping company that takes the risk of working outside of these parameters!”

Putin, gold and silver: What you need to know right now

Posted on by

“During not-so-normal times like we have today, the flow of capital is what determines major market moves.  Not supply/demand fundamentals. Not GDP, inflation, central bank policies.  Not even price-to-earnings ratios, or corporate balance sheets or anything most analysts use to predict market movements.  It’s capital flows, from one nation to another, from one stock market to another, from one savvy investor’s pockets to any investment that can help that investor get their money to safety, off the grid to a market that is liquid, that offers a decent chance at some type of return, and where preservation of capital is also of utmost importance.”

Hoarding Gold: China’s Plan for Survival

Posted on by

“No one can know with any degree of accuracy when China will officially announce its gold reserves. I went out on a limb and said China could do that by April 24, 2014, since the country has a fetish for doing things in increments of five, and that date was five years after the previous announcement. But the reality is China could shock the world at any moment with its gold holdings. Focusing on a wrong date, though, is like faulting Shakespeare for misplacing a comma — you’re blind to the far-greater message: that China is cornering the market in gold because of a dramatic revision to the global monetary order that we all know as normal.”

Meet the Rugged Prospectors Still Panning for Gold in California

Posted on by

“One surprising ripple effect of the Great Recession is the resurgence of independent gold prospecting. In California, evaporated savings, layoffs, and foreclosures sent some running to the hills. Sarina Finkelstein’s series The New Forty-Niners chronicles these modern prospectors with anachronistic images, some of which look like they could have been made 150 years ago.  Gold panning in the creeks of the Sierra Nevada mountains has been a mainstay since the Gold Rush of the mid-1800s, but for decades it tended to draw only hobbyists and small-scale speculators. Now, gamblers, romantics, and crusty entrepreneurs are joining the old-timers down by the river.”

Penning the Sheep for a Shearing—Capital Controls, Part 2

Posted on by

“A year or two early is always better than one day too late.  You will never know precisely when the day of reckoning will come… until it’s too late. And it will likely come as a surprise in order to ensure its effectiveness—like the sneak attack on Cypriot bank depositors did on that Saturday morning.  Even if capital controls are never imposed, you are no worse off for internationalizing your savings. In all likelihood, you’d be better off. You could sleep better at night knowing that you have insured your savings by diversifying your political risk. Also, many offshore banks are better capitalized and otherwise sounder than any bank you would find in your home country.”

India’s pain is UAE’s gain – Indian expats buy up gold jewellery

Posted on by

mineweblogo4

“If any nation is happy about India’ gold import curbs it is the UAE, where bullion traders are registering brisk sales given the restrictions on the import of the precious metal in India.  The curbs on gold in India have raised demand for gold and diamond studded gold jewellery among expatriate Indians and visitors from India to the UAE.  ‘The UAE’s gold trade has become the de facto beneficiary of the Indian government’s tough stance on domestic consumption. There is almost a 16% difference on a per gram basis, in buying gold ornaments in the UAE as compared to buying gold in India,’ said an official at a store in Dubai’s gold souk.”

4 Facts Every GLD Investor Must Know

Posted on by

“We did some digging into GLD’s 10-K – a comprehensive summary report of a company’s performance that must be submitted annually to the SEC – and found some interesting facts that we believe every GLD investor should know.  Here’s a hint: Unless you own more than $16 million worth of GLD shares, don’t expect to be redeeming them in physical gold anytime soon.  The Hard Assets Alliance, offers an easy way to buy and sell physical gold – and store it at a very reasonable rate in any one of six secure vaults in the US, the UK, Switzerland, Singapore, and Australia. Investors can take delivery of their gold anywhere in the world.”
