I think it is from wiki. Wiki would have collated them from world institutions like IMF, The World Bank or Bank of International Settlements, etc. If I am not wrong, many articles I came across just make mention of such macro aggregates without quoting sources.

Those who have some money to keep for rainy days may have to make a choice among putting to savings deposits, stocks, Gold coins, etc. If we are better in forecasting shorter term yearly or half-yearly trends, then the current rally may be best.

I remember posting a link to a thread of southamerica (Central banks and US dollar, etc...). It was an article about calls by UNTACD for a global reserve currency and the author mentioned how people underestimated the powers of the bankers - that they would not anytime soon relinquished their...

If you talk about objective, then you must ignore any model that uses any mathematics beyond the basic operators of "+", "*", "/". Things with names like "Copula", etc... immediately disqualified. It should be honest, direct like our early cavemen ancestors of ours who have only one name for...

The line "Gold bullion became available to Chinese individuals as an investment option for the first time since 1949 as the small gold bars..." comes from :- "Personal Gold Investment Emerges in China's Capital", 12/19/2002. Copyright by People's Daily Online Cannot trace author as link...

China Pushing for Gold Standard By observing signs and changes, the future could be predicted. There have been some minor talks about ending the Fed, but it would not happen anytime soon unless there is a world catastrophe many times greater than that of World War II which make people...

About your not knowing much about economics, don't harbor any inferiority complex. Though some have read (or have written) many books in economics, none know anything about economics. None here in ET, Wall St, Main St. or the university faculty know anything about what is happening in the...

Your reasoning is just as good as mine at most. To you your reasons and to me mine. 1) Your world historical time frame is 30 years. 2) You mentioned Gold $800 in 1981 but did not mention Paul Volcker of Fed raised interest to 19.5% to slam down Gold. How do you analyse markets with US...

Revisionist View of the Great Depression. Antal E. Fekete The article was written in 2002. It seems he was "prophetic" for a little while. It seems he has a very negative view about the bond markets which may relate to the problem of the global reserves held in dollar. Anyone...

No. I would still practice patience even if I were to fall into hardship - sitting among ashes and potsherds, sores covering my body. I will not forgo my faith. I will put down the rifle and pray : Oh Lord! Why does this happen to me? I keep to the law. I obeyed the governor. I paid...

Why no response? I suspect there is useful information in this article (and with the author) If one can decipher the technicality.

There is a difference in shipping my gold home now and 1971. In 1971, those who asked for gold and approved before the announcement of Nixon would have got their gold back. If those gold had not been tampered with or sold and ended up as ornaments with the Indian or Japanese ladies, they will...

The first part seems a good prognostication. The top for S&P was 1500.00/2000 and 1500.00/2007 and that seals where S&P could at most be for a long long time to come. That's the chart. For economic fundamentals, then look towards the rest of the world which have risen to produce goods -...

Whether there were more or less bank runs and failure, or number and severity of recessions or other things bad in the gold standards period prior to 1913 is just historical interpretations and not what's inscribed on the stone slab which Moses brought down from Mount Sinai which just got new...

Judgments base on emotional prejudice don't make money. Worst investor was variously Japanese, Arabs and now the Chinese. It won't help if I vote the current Champion to be Americans who long politicians and bankers who defaulted wholesale. Many of the leaders of the current Chinese regime...

A crude model of the Dynamics Of The Gold Price A crude model can be formulated using very basic informations and some simplest of principles. The basic data we need are the following macro aggregates: World Gold Total Market Capitalization: An estimate by the World Gold Council is that all...

About: I think it may not be "rigorously" correct. The rise/fall in the gold price will not affect the "strength of the dollar" which conventionally mean the Dollar Index, about which of the central banks are in the worst of shape - Fed, BoE, BoJ, ECB. The vote currently goes to Fed. The...

Isn't the reasons clearly stated : You attempted two reasons, I'll try a third: The IMF is irrelevant to the policy of central banks. So whether IMF remains or is dismantled does not matter. Better to take back their gold at US1000/oz rather then 10 years on at USD10,000/oz.
