The supply of gold on COMEX is related to how much people wish to use it for backing paper trades. It has absolutely no bearing on physical...
I am more of a believer in the oil/gold ratio. It got a little out of whack when the huge spike in pm happened, (huge demand for labor raised...
Yes, but you are making huge assumptions. Just because population is growing does not mean coin collectors will. If you assume coin collectors...
I like your phrase "it's something photographs cannot capture". Its true. There is just something about holding a tet or a huge Ptolemaic bronze...
I hear you ma'am, especially when we have such documented outliers like the huge Roman gold stash found in Sweden. How the heck can Italians try...
