The U.S. Mint did an incredibly poor job of making many gold coins available in 2009. In fact, the highly desirable 99.99% gold Buffalo was only available for a very short time at year end and they sold out again.
I just received an email from GovMint.com that 2009 $5 Gold 1/10th oz. American Eagles are [...]

Anyone noticed which precious metal outperformed Gold, Silver and Platinum in 2009?
Palladium.
Having been beaten to a pulp in the global meltdown, Palladium has rocketed back from the $170 range to close out 2009 at over $400 and is looking strong on this first trading day of 2010 ($420 as I write this).
Naturally, when Palladium was [...]

Jim Rogers, legendary commodities investor and guru, spoke in Prague about 2 weeks ago to 300+ money managers.
They took a poll, by pressing buttons, not a raise of hands.
“How many of you have EVER owned gold?”
Answer? 24%
76% had NEVER OWNED GOLD!
So, is gold in a bubble? Give me a break. Look at that statistic again. [...]

Long-term readers know that gold moves inversely to the dollar, meaning if the dollar drops, gold tends to rise (and vice versa). This happens with about 80% regularity.

That’s the question Mark Dice put to a fair number of absolute idiots somewhere near where he lives. The houses are $1 million a piece, a 1 bedroom dump rents for $1200 / month and these people do not know what a 1 ounce gold coin is worth; or whether it matters that it’s from [...]

I haven’t written about Dennis Gartman of The Gartman Letter (TGL) much recently since he has been getting beat up quite a bit on his losing gold trades over the last year or so.
Dennis is a tough guy, though, and I think he can take it. Some speculate he is now using his very influential [...]

When it comes to precious metals like gold and silver, I don’t think any country’s population is more excited than China; and they have a LOT of people. The government is not only encouraging individuals to buy gold and silver but they are making it easy to acquire.
With the exception of gold vending machines in [...]

Much has been written about getting physical gold out of the United States. This article actually touches on the additional topic of how many people even know what a gold coin looks like, let alone own one (or more).
One of Casey Research’s readers sent this note to editor David Galland regarding his experience taking 20 [...]

After being absent for almost the entire year of 2009 US mint’s Gold Buffalo one ounce gold coins are coming back. Notice that while gold was relatively inexpensive you were not able to buy them, but now that gold is north of $1000 an ounce they will be available, probably for about a $100 premium!
Frustrating, [...]

“If we’re right about where the price of gold is headed, the general public will someday clamor to buy all things gold. While gold stocks will be where the real leverage is, the rush will start with gold itself. As a gold editor, I have a very natural question: is there enough to go around? “
