The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was organized in January 1999 to advocate and undertake litigation against illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial securities. The committee arose from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator, and by Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut, published at Murphy’s Internet site, www.lemetropolecafe.com.

Surging lease rates for silver are once again upending the precious metals market, with traders fearing that possible U.S. tariffs could squeeze already tight supplies in London as price dislocations re-emerge between key trading hubs.
Washington last month categorized silver as critical to U.S. national security, fueling worries that its new status may draw the attention of President Donald Trump, who ordered an investigation into critical minerals in April.

Gold continues to shine brightly, hitting new all-time highs. A confluence of factors -- from central banks around the world on net reducing their U.S. dollar reserve holdings in favor of gold to concerns over inflation -- have been lifting the safe-haven precious metal’s price.
But there is one factor that continues to dim gold's luster: its tax treatment.

Gold has been money, both as a store of value and sometimes a medium exchange, for around 5,000 years. It increasingly plays a role in protecting your earnings from the inflation generated by bad governance reducing the purchasing power of U.S. dollars and other fiat currency.
But gold isn't treated for tax purposes like holding U.S. dollars in cash or even U.S. Treasuries. Its tax treatment isn't even that of a stock or cryptocurrency.
It is treated as a collectible, engendering a very high taxation rate for many holders. ...

The dollar's sharp drop in April during a burst of tariff-related financial stress called into question what many had assumed to be its critical function as a safety trade. Some now wonder whether that haven status was ever truly warranted.
For much of the past 15 years, global investors have considered the dollar a natural hedge during economic and political shocks, allowing them to feel comfortable about amassing ever more U.S. assets while leaving their currency exposure largely unhedged.

Hero Bullion: Gold and silver simply delivered
The argument was simple. If Wall Street took a plunge, it would drag most global assets down with it, but a countervailing surge in the dollar exchange rate would limit investors' losses on U.S. stocks and bonds.
But that didn't happen in March and April. As the S&P 500 fell by as much as 20%, the dollar index dropped 8%, prompting some soul-searching among investors and a wave of hedging. In turn, the U.S. currency recorded its worst January to June performance in the entire floating exchange rate era that began in 1973. ...

One of the trademarks of this newsletter is analyzing gold in multiple world currencies to determine whether it is truly firing on all cylinders, rather than behaving like a 12-cylinder Ferrari running on just six. That's how my dad used to describe me in grade school whenever I brought home a disappointing report card and clearly wasn't giving my all.
This approach is especially valuable because it reveals whether gold's strength is genuine or merely the result of weakness in the U.S. dollar, the world's reserve currency, as the two are essentially competing currencies that move inversely with each other. I used this technique very effectively last September, when it helped me anticipate and confirm gold’s breakout from its summer doldrums and rally toward $3,000 and beyond.

First Majestic Mines Silver and Gold,
Mints Its Own Silver Bars, Ingots, Coins, and Medallions,
and Sells Them Online at Low Premiums
First Majestic is a publicly traded mining company focused on silver and gold production in Mexico and the United States. The company owns and operates four producing underground mines in Mexico: the Cerro Los Gatos Silver Mine (the company holds a 70% interest in the Los Gatos Joint Venture that owns and operates the mine), the Santa Elena Silver and Gold Mine, the San Dimas Silver and Gold Mine, and the La Encantada Silver Mine, as well as a portfolio of development and exploration assets, including the Jerritt Canyon gold project in northeastern Nevada, U.S.A.
In 2025 these mines are projected to produce between 27.8 to 31.2 million silver-equivalent ounces, consisting of 13.6 to 15.3 million ounces of silver and 129,000 to 144,000 ounces of gold, with an all-in sustaining cost of $19.89 to $21.27 per payable silver-equivalent ounce.
For more information about the company, visit:
In a practice unique to First Majestic, the company is proud to manufacture exceptional silver bullion products from its 100%-owned and operated minting facility, First Mint, offering a portion of its own silver production for sale to the public. Bars, ingots, coins, and medallions are available for purchase online at the company's bullion store at low premiums.

As I showed a few days ago, the breakout in precious metals from their summer trading range has been confirmed. I believe this sets the stage for a runup in gold to $4,000 and beyond, and silver to $50 and higher.
This breakout was driven largely by the return of normal trading volume following Labor Day, as well as a string of weak U.S. jobs reports that sharply increase the likelihood of an economic slowdown or even a recession, along with interest rate cuts in the months ahead. ...

There's growing appreciation that the gold and silver bull has returned, though the reasons justifying it may not be apparent. But this week's price action is an important turning point.
There are important factors in the background driving the relationship between monetary metals, the dollar, and the other major G7 currencies. These include geopolitics: This week saw plans advancing for a non-dollar (and G7) currency area incorporating the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS, and those nations in the queue to join, representing 70% of the world's population.

Gold and silver appear to be front-running major changes in the relationship between G7 currencies and the consequences of these tectonic shifts. It is in this context that this week's performance should be read. ...

Bullion Star Opens in the U.S., Selling and Vaulting Gold and Silver
Bullion Star is now open in the United States, offering gold and silver bullion at extremely competitive prices with free delivery. Bullion Star also offers customers a year of free vault storage along with free delivery as well as storage in its secure precious metals vault in Dallas, Texas.
Storing precious metals is challenging. Homeowner's insurance seldom covers precious metals, and safe deposit boxes offered by banks are neither insured nor covered by the government deposit insurance. Bullion Star's vault is an independently run, Class III UL-rated vault with uncompromising surveillance and round-the-clock security.
With Bullion Star you can transact and store your metals securely and confidentially. Your bullion is fully insured against all risks at full replacement value. Bullion Star uses five audit methods to verify the existence and correctness of your stored bullion.

Trump's directive could also speed implementation of bespoke trade deals between the U.S. and other countries, making it easier for Washington to lift tariffs on aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals, and certain products that can't be grown, mined, or naturally produced domestically -- such as specialty spices and coffee, as well as obscure metals.
The measure formalizes a plan to exempt gold bars from tariffs, after a U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruling weeks ago stunned traders and caused confusion by indicating bullion would be subject to import taxes. ...
