A rather special one, this edition of The Gold Update, for in addition to our usual unrivaled read on the price of Gold, at the foot we review a "must read" new book.
Said title might also be phrased as "Hire Gold from Here" (i.e. put Gold to work for you) or perhaps editorially construed as being "in our opinion" per the word "Here" rather than being specifically from the price of Gold at 1726 where it...
Now really apropos is our anticipatory piece from two weeks ago ("Gold's Near-Term Brush with the 1600s") as 'tis become reality. Gold settled out the week yesterday (Friday) at 1698 (almost kissing where 'twas a year ago in the above...

Or if you prefer: "Abidin' Biden: Buy Gold." Short-lived as it may become, the Biden era has begun; and regardless of Harris waiting in the wings, ought higher be the price Gold brings. For wealth to withstand, indeed endure, the onrush of...
Gold was sheared this past week by -1.2% and is now -3.9% year-to-date. Silver was smeared this past week by -2.6% and is now -6.4% year-to-date. But relax: have a cracker 'n schmear, perhaps even a beer, and we'll try to relate to make it...
