Through the turn of the twentieth century, one of the so-called "common coins" here in Monaco was the 100 Franc Gold piece depicting the image of then Prince Albert Honoré Charles Grimaldi. Albert I was not as nearly beloved by his...
There's something wonderful about waxing eloquent (or otherwise) upon Gold whilst writing from Zürich. Here in the largest of Swiss cities, vibrant as 'tis, one is reminded of common sense, logic and coordination, and revels in witnessing...

Our subject is Gold, but briefly let's start with stocks as they're breaking the mold. The S&P 500 marginally broke its all-time closing high yesterday (Friday) in settling at 2874.69: that is 1.82 points higher than the previous such...
So much for the "immovable object", eh? Oh, the yellow metal finally got off its butt alright: but without noticing that a dastardly team of Shorts had snuck in this past week and tied together gold's shoelaces such that it fell flat on...
