This is Part 4 of an excellent 5-part series of infographics (links to the previous 3 are provided below) on various aspects of gold.

Why do more and more countries want to repatriate their gold from foreign vaults? Because their governments no longer trust the global, fiat monetary system...[Neither] should you. Let me explain further.

Has U.S. currency as we know it today always been pretty much the same? The answer is no. If you love money as much as I do, you’ll love the infographic below and all the money facts it contains. Take a look. It's very interesting!

If the U.S. economy weakens in the second half as a result of higher energy prices, that could cause interest rates and the dollar to fall — fueling a rally in metals.

We live in an Alice In Wonderland, circa Orwell’s 1984 world. Everything is upside down, and that includes the price for gold and silver.
