David Smith: Well, the petrodollar is a term for US dollars that are used by different countries in exchange for buying petroleum and other goods. It’s extensive enough that it has come to be called the reserve currency of the world – but now that status is beginning to change.

What Crude Oil Says about Silver

June 26, 2014
By Chris Mullen, Chief Content Manager

Crude oil prices have many reasons to explode higher and few to drop lower. The trend has been up for more than a decade. Central banks will print, politicians will instigate more wars and invasions, and each euro, yen, and dollar will purchase even less crude oil and gasoline.

Gold versus Silver

By Chris Mullen, Chief Content Manager

Most commentators that I read are more bullish on silver than gold. Not me, I am in the minority camp being far more bullish on gold than I am on silver. Now, let me tell you why I feel this way. In 1717, Sir Isaac Newton, who was then master of the Royal Mint in London, established a new mint ratio between silver and gold, which effectively put Britain on a gold standard. During the Napoleonic Wars Britain curtailed convertibility. This was reestablished in 1821 with the new £1 sovereign…

Is The Silver and Gold Bull Market Over?

June 20, 2014

This chart illustrates how little the inflation adjusted price of silver has increased in value relative to the previous high set back in 1980. With government stimulus and money printing at an all time high, one would expect the price of silver to be much higher in 2014 than 1980. We would also like to point out that we used the government issued CIP as our measure of inflation and some believe this calculation to be bias to the downside.
