"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe." … Frederic Bastiat


Evil talks about tolerance only when it’s weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be. And America has no special immunity to becoming an enemy of its own founding beliefs about human freedom, human dignity, the limited power of the state, and the sovereignty of God. – Archbishop Chaput

4 Hour Silver Chart

Silver is starting off the week on a very strong note and has pushed back firmly above $30. Bulls can seize control of this market if they can now push past this line of defense erected by the bears near the $30.50 level. Note the battle taking place at that line. Bulls pushed past the barrier earlier in the session but price fell back below it. However a fresh push is again underway to see if they can extend their gains.

Volume on the upthrusts is strong indicating the presence of quality buying. Sellers are trying to dig in here.

Stay tuned.

  1. Dan, what is your opinion on Hugo Salinas Price's idea of reintroducing a silver coin as money to circulate along side the fiat? If it were to come to pass it would be very bullish for the price of silver.

  2. Hugo is a friend of mine and is very knowledgeable of monetary matters, especially of silver's historic role as a monetary metal. Should such a development occur, it would of course be very bullish for the metal. Interestingly enough, in a sense, this is already beginning to occur here in the US to a very small extent with some merchants allowing payment to be made in gold or silver for their goods.

  3. The big difference if Hugo's idea would come to pass in the US would that those silver coins would no longer have capital gains taxes or sales taxes, etc. as they would be "money". Do you know what Ron Paul's response has been to this idea?

  5. Thank you George.

    Peter - in regards to your second question - I do not sure waht Congressman's response might be to something like that although I would think, based on his monetary and economic views, that he would at least be favorably resolved for such a thing.
