as you know there is only one thing better than gold, that is MORE GOLD. they pay you off the interest in GOLD not FAKE MONEY.

Silver is the answer, not gold....But I'll physically always need both, just more silver % wise.

you are talking 1/2%. if you go to a Swiss Vault outside the Switzerland banking system, you are paying 3/4% per year. on the lease, you don't always get one that opens up. and if you do, their fee is already built-in. there is no protection from the US government in the Monetary Metal's vault. if the government wants your gold for any reason, they can just make a law and go in and get it. in a private Swiss Vault, the US government cannot attach it, in the contest of a Swiss Bank, the US government can go in and scoop it up.

Why are you suddenly talking the Swiss banking system? I thought Monetary metals was based in Arizona? That 1/2% commission quickly grows to 1% with a buy and a sell.
I google-mapped their location, looks likd they're right next to Franco's Italian Caffe in Scottsdale. Can't find where their vaults are located, probably a secret.

the monthly inflation rate went to 4/99%. that might be the top of the inflation. if so, and bond yields drop and the dollar puts in a low, gold and silver could get hit.. the silver held up better than gold for now. this in turn would have an effect on MUX, should that be the case..MUX is a high-cost producer and needs a higher price.

I am just speculating with all this. so I could be wrong and this turns out to be the mother run for precious metals. I am just finding reasons to be wrong.

It looks to me like the $USD made a bottom 4 days after I posted this. Commodities on the ropes lately. Oil and metals. The dollar is above its 150 day Moving average now.

You better Start Paying Attention

Financial institutions flush with cash have flocked to the Federal Reserve's reverse repurchase (RRP) facility, loaning the U.S. central bank money at 0% interest and raising concerns in the bond market that key short-term interest rates could actually fall below zero.

If and when that happens money markets could lose their peg no telling what happens next. Inflation buzz is just noise in the machine, distracting but not currently tradeable. What are you gonna do, buy TIP's?
