July in Precious Metals, by Steven Cochran of Gainesville Coins

Welcome to SurvivalBlog’s Precious Metals Month in Review, by Steven Cochran of Gainsesville Coins. Every month we take a look at “the month that was” in precious metals, covering the price action of gold and examine the “what” and “why” behind those numbers. So much for the “summer doldrums.” July was a wild roller coaster ride, no matter which market you looked at, and gold was no exception. If it wasn’t stress over whether the Fed would raise interest rates next month, it was the meltdown in the Chinese stock market, or the fate of Greece and its economy. Remember …

Economics and Investing:

The spot prices of silver and gold recently dipped to $14.70 USD and $1,006 USD, respectively. This short-term aberration in long-term market trends can be attributed to both the sag in oil prices and to near panic shifts by European investors into the United States equities following news of the Greek bailout and a possible Euro collapse. I recommend that anyone who sees the need to diversify their portfolio do so NOW. If you wait until October, you may miss the boat. Physical silver is the logical choice. If you already have your beans and bullets squared away, then I …
