Gold swaps are done under the table specifically for the purpose of avoiding disclosure of such information.
Silver was money in China for thousands of years, long before the Spanish inquisition. The word "silver" is the same word used for "money" in many...
I mis-spoke. Metals were money long before they were traded as commodities in the current marketplace, but you are right that they were...
Only insomuch as they have to meet delivery. They have to have enough for that. If they don't own an ounce of silver then they are already having...
I don't think we can say with certainty what 99% of US citizens care about. I think far more than 1% are aware that as the price of gold and...
