The Silver Institute’s June Silver News

Stay up-to-date on the latest advances in the silver industry with The Silver Institute’s bi-monthly Silver News. The latest issue, released this week, includes some fascinating articles on the new uses of the anti-bacterial properties of silver.

“Low doses of silver can enhance the germ-fighting abilities of antibiotic drugs, even those drugs that have become less effective after decades of overprescribing has caused some microbes to become resistant, according to a team of researchers led by Jim Collins of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. 

They showed that not only does the addition of silver make some antibiotic drugs up to 1,000 times more effective, but silver has also made at least one drug-resistant bacterium surrender to antibiotics once again.”

Is Gold Really Worth $40,000 Per Ounce?

In a new commentary on Forbes, Todd Ganos steps back and looks at gold’s recent volatility through the lens of the yellow metal’s traditional role: gold as stable, incorruptible money.

“Recently, there has been quite a bit of volatility in the dollar price of gold.  It certainly can’t be that the fundamental value of the United States dollar is experiencing wide swings.  We don’t see the dollar price of bacon or bread or a car wildly gyrating.  But, given that gold is money, in a sort of cross-currency context, the prices of bacon, bread, and a car ARE wildly gyrating . . . relative to gold.  Of course, history would suggest to us that the price of bacon, bread, a car, gold or most anything should be stable relative to each other over the long run.  So, it would seem that the recent price swings in gold are driven by speculation as opposed to fundamentals.”

Peter Schiff Dissects Gold Bull Market and US “Recovery” (Audio)

On Friday, Peter Schiff was interviewed on GoldSeek Radio about his latest commentary comparing the current correction in the gold price to gold’s bull market in the mid-1970s. They go on to speak about the supposed economic recovery, the latest jobs numbers, the Fed’s inevitable continuation of QE, and the possibility of gold market manipulation.

“The fundamental narrative behind this [downward] move [in gold] is wrong. What’s giving the shorts the motivation to sell is a number of false beliefs. One, that the US economy is recovering. It’s not. Two, that inflation isn’t a problem. But it is. And three, that the Fed’s about to tighten. When they’re not! So I think everything the market is anticipating is wrong. And therefore their expectations of a lower gold price are based on assumptions that are all wrong. When they figure that out…I think the price goes way up.”

Peter Schiff: New Jobs Report Is Actually Dismal (Video)

Peter Schiff appeared on the Business News Network this afternoon to comment on the new jobs data and why it isn’t anything to be happy about. In fact, the jobs data portends an economy that is sinking back into a recession. On top of that, Peter explains why the supposed housing recovery is just an illusion. So what investment opportunities do exist? Peter recommends avoiding the dollar and buying gold, which is vastly under-priced.

“We lost another 6,000 manufacturing jobs… You know where all the big job gains are? It’s in leisure and hospitality. We have more people in America now working in bars and restaurants than ever before. These are not good jobs, they are low paying, part-time jobs and you cannot build an economy on these types of jobs… The numbers are going to get worse. The jobs that we are creating – these phony jobs – are a function of all the cheap money and all the excess spending and borrowing that goes along with it.”

Green Investors Missing Golden Opportunity

Peter Schiff's Gold Letter

Peter Schiff’s July Gold Letter was released today. Editor Mike Finger writes about alternative currencies at “The Fiat-Free Festival”, and Jeff Clark of Casey Research examines the difference between short-term gold sentiment and long-term reality. Plus, enjoy Lampoon the System’s latest comic and a fascinating discussion between Stefan Molyneux and Peter Schiff about the future of gold. Peter’s commentary examines the supposed correction in gold and why its commodity fundamentals indicate a healthy rebound in the price is very likely.

“Gold’s second quarter price plunge is now the biggest on record, dropping 23% in the last three months to finish a little over $1,200. According to most mainstream analysis, this is just further proof that the yellow metal’s bear market is no fluke. In fact, some commentators insist that this is just the beginning of gold’s price rout and that there is nothing stopping the yellow metal from falling to $800 or lower.

However, looking at the commodity fundamentals of gold, the metal simply cannot stay at these low prices for much longer. If it hasn’t reached it already, gold is nearing a bottom at the key price of $1,200, which is the point where global mining operations are forced to pinch supply in spite of continued strong demand.

Not only is diminished production likely to halt gold’s downward trajectory, but an imminent supply crunch could also propel gold back to new highs. This likelihood of a strong rebound is supported by both a struggling mining industry, and gold’s historical behavior last time it experienced such dramatic volatility in the middle of a bull market.”
