Ben Bernanke speaks and puts the lie to everything that “The Community Organizer In Chief” has been spouting in this, the beginning of the fourth year of his reelection campaign. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a President that put the country’s needs above his own? Refreshing yes, but don’t count on it, because the establishment Republicans are doing everything that they can to [...]
Gold has bounced off the bottom of this latest correction and is moving higher in an orderly fashion as it readies for the push through $2,000 to $2,100 later this year.

As I look at the gold market this week, I can’t help but think, what’s wrong with this picture? The excesses of European socialism are playing out in the European debt crisis.
