Could Gold Reach $800?
They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. And what could be more beautiful than bullions of pure gold? Gold has always held a special allure for jewelry lovers. But it has also been a key investment commodity. Gold has been regarded as a crisis hedge, a currency hedge, an inflation hedge, and […]
The Internet: Public Utility Or Private Enterprise?
There’s a page on whitehouse.gov entitled: “Net Neutrality: President Obama’s Plan for a Free and Open Internet.” For this article, let’s use the President’s nomenclature: Net Neutrality = A Free and Open Internet. What exactly does that mean? Common sense would tell us that a “free and open Internet” is just that. Advocates of a […]
US Industrial Production: October 2014 Preview
US industrial production in October is projected to increase 0.2% vs. the previous month in tomorrow’s report from the Federal Reserve, according to the Capital Spectator’s median point forecast for several econometric estimates.

The rules of the game have not changed over the years. There are more markets, and they are bigger than ever. Computers […]
E EC The Nasdaq Index Reached Its All-Time High 14 Long Years Ago And Now Might Finally Be Back
On March 10, 2000, the Nasdaq Composite Index (NYSEARCA:QQQ) reached its all time closing high of 5048.62. It was a Friday afternoon and the financial media was abuzz with the news. Unfortunately, the milestone was relatively short lived as the Nasdaq soon after began a steep descent that saw its value decline by 50% within […]
Firm Grasp Of The Obvious: Dollar Bull Run Remains Intact
It is beyond dispute. The US dollar is in a powerful bull run. There are two main drivers, and their ability to dominate the price action varies according to the news stream. The first is constructive economic news from the US that reinforces ideas that the Fed will likely raise rates next year. The second […]
Start Your Own Gold Standard
Although we’re based out of the United States, SchiffGold and its Chairman Peter Schiff are passionate supporters of the Swiss Gold Initiative.
