We offer in this article a comprehensive overview of different forecasts and predictions for the price gold in 2015. We hasten to say that our own stance regarding predictions remains unchanged. We have written several times before that “forecasting isn’t about...

Gold's up 12 per cent against the yen this year, 9.5 per cent against the euro and for Russian holders up 80 per cent. It’s been the perfect hedge in a very imperfect world of currency wars and money printing. Investors stocking up on bullion at current depressed...

In a normal economic times falling energy costs would be considered unadulterated good news. The facts are simple. No one buys a barrel of oil to display above the mantle. No one derives happiness from a lump of coal. Energy is simply a means to do or get the things...
