This morning the price of oil is approaching $120 per barrel, lending some strength to precious metals prices.
There’s plenty of bad news in the headlines. Is this an ominous sign for the price of gold?
A while back, I mentioned an upcoming conference hosted by GATA, the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee. Their website has now published some thought provoking remarks from conference speakers on their website.
Here’s an article about an unusual hobby turned business, element collecting. Apparently, there is a vibrant market for element samples, including 44 offered element coins. You can find these for sale on eBay here.
