Gold’s beginning to attract some attention.

Not because it was shooting higher but because it kept trading while most respectable markets closed in observance of Presidents Day.

I’m fed up with precious metals. 

I’m tired of all the failed breakouts and the sideways chop.

First, gold failed to hold its breakout to new all-time highs.

Then, the silver-to-gold ratio undercut a critical shelf of former lows.

The US dollar is marching higher, stomping gold mining stocks into dust.

The buzz around gold’s new all-time high is growing – and for good reason.

New all-time highs will likely become a regular occurrence in the coming quarters. 

But while gold makes...

I’ve had palladium on my mind for a while – long before gold posted a new all-time high.

Why palladium?

Last week’s fresh all-time highs left many gold bugs empty-hearted. 

The market continues to torment precious metal bulls as they wonder what could have been.

But hopes and dreams...

Goldbugs, rejoice.

Investors love a good gold debate.

“Is it a commodity, or is it a currency?”

I’d argue it’s both.

But, today, I want to focus on gold as a currency in light of a series of new all...
