Most market commentators’ focus on gold and silver, as well as with most markets, are short term. Rarely do they look back more than few years at the most. However, every now and then it is good to take a historical look at a market to...
Wednesday June 19th, the bond and stock markets had a bad day. We saw more of the same on Thursday; only worse. Doctor Bernanke testified before Congress that he was going to begin “tapering” his current Quantitative Easing’s monthly...
