    Maintaining Gold Reserves

    I agree with you. But I was wondering how many 'certificates' of ownership that these companies were selling as opposed to the actual ounces of gold and silver in their possession. I doubt if there are enough floating out there to influence the markets but it was just a passing thought I had...

    OPEC Can't Agree on Cuts.....

    I just saw this on STOCKTWITS. -------- So, this is why they want Indonesia out of OPEC. I realize the source is Zerohedge, but as long as the remarks are accurate, it's no big deal. ------ As expected, the OPEC headlines continue to come in hot and heavy, with Reuters reporting first...

    OPEC Can't Agree on Cuts.....

    What OPEC says and what they do are two different things. They are notorious for selling more than their promised limits. Iraq, Venezuela and Iran need to sell as much as they can to get their economy back online. I wonder if they will stick to their promised production quotas and keep the...

    Maintaining Gold Reserves

    Actually none....lol But gold has been in decline lately and then I started thinking about circumstances that would encourage its rise again and the companies that sell it. I owned stock in SSRI (silver)a few years ago as well as Homestake Mining (gold). I would never buy gold from a...

    Maintaining Gold Reserves

    I agree. But I was wondering if there are any regulations regarding the certificates they sell and the number of ounces they have to have on hand. I bet 99 percent of the people just buy and sell the metals without ever taking physical ownership. But what if there was a major spike in metals...

    Maintaining Gold Reserves

    Just Curious..... When you deposit money into a checking account they are required to maintain 20 percent and then they lend out the other 80 percent. A lot of precious metals brokers sell you a certificate of ownership for an ounce of gold or silver and 'they'll hold it for you'. Is there...

    Well, don't they make cell phones in Japan? Their manufacturing costs are as high there as they are here. The made Motorola X and other 'Moto' cell phones in Ft Worth up until a year ago. They were making money here. But, they only made mid range phones and although they made a good...

    China Struggles to Steady Yuan’s Decline

    The Euro is going down as well. 1.065 to the dollar. Last Summer it was 1.30. China has been dumping US bonds for the last several months. Was that to stabilize their yuan as opposed to the lack of confidence in the dollar ?

    What if iPhone is built in the US due to charging high tariff for imports

    If they would reduce the top tax rate for citizens as well as companies, businesses would not be compelled to participate in financial shenanigans.

    What if iPhone is built in the US due to charging high tariff for imports

    Someone estimated that the Iphone 7 costs $225 to make ( basically....I don't remember the exact figure but it was low 200's) and they sell it for $699. And if you upgrade from 32GB to 128GB it is another $100 but it only costs $8 extra to actually create the additional storage. Apple has a...

    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    Are the checks and balances that broad at trading firms and other large organizations like Exxon or Lockheed Martin? Do they check computers to determine if something has been downloaded or do they check outgoing emails and investigate suspicious addresses? I wonder if GS is more of an IT firm...

    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    I don't know anything about coding. But when you code something for trading, do you create a program that gives you an alert to market changes for a specific stock? Or do you program it to automatically buy something at a certain price and sell at a different price? Does it need approval to...

    Massive government debt bomb! Buy gold now goddamit!

    Martin Armstrong suggests gold is going down..... This is what he wrote Thursday : Gold has been sending signal that it is still following the pattern we set forth months again. It failed to close above the Monthly Bullish Reversal at 1362 on a monthly basis and then crashed to close below the...
