Gold Price is No Bubble / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The price performance of gold recently has all sorts of armchair economists waxing philosophical on the idea that this is the advent of a price “bubble”.

Peak Silver and Mining by a Falling EROI / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
EROI = Energy Returned On Energy Invested - The Peak of World Silver Production may be just around the corner due to a falling EROI (energy returned on energy invested).

Noticed the last few years how the Swiss Banks are no longer confidential places for one to store anything of value? The US government has applied pressure on Switzerland to make available Swiss bank records at any time requested by the US Government.
