It's QE to Infinity, Buy Gold and Get Out f U.S. Dollars Peter Schiff on CNBC (1/28/2014)

Though silver unfortunately was the worst performing precious metal in 2013, I am convinced that this year will be an entirely different matter.

Let's face it, 2013 was rough on silver. The precious metal started out the year at $31, and ended at $19.50, continuing an overall slump dating back roughly to mid-2011. That, however, obscures a massive run, like gold, that silver embarked on in 2001 when it was near $4, eventually topping out around $49 in April 2011. At its peak it generated a return of 1,091%. Heading into 2014, I... read more

Richard Russell, has issued a dire warning, saying that even though there will be rallies in the major markets, stocks are now headed into crash mode as the US government is using massive propaganda and lying to its people. Russell: “The market was in semi-crash mode (Friday), closing on its lows with no late rally. I don’t think anybody knows what’s going on, but this is the story... read more
