Cat Ivan has been mining gold nuggets for some time, this one was the most precious of them all 9.9 ounces of Gold that's fantastic .Europeans flocked to California from all over to strike it rich from the gold rush.the California Gold Rush from 1848-1853
Jim Cramer : Silver Silver Silver that's all anybody seems to be interested in everywhere i go. it's the hot button on twitter @jimcramer. holy cow, check that out. it was the major focus of panel i was in new york city last night about precious metals. it's what i hear in the street and it's in my e-mail box constantly. first, let me just say when it comes to precious metals, i like gold. I've liked gold for ages. and I'm not changing my posture now. i think it's a currency, not a commodity. thing is a demand and not enough supply. when demand soars, particularly from central banks. we learned mexico is buying. while supplies stay the same, prices go through the roof. you know my order preference. i like bullion the most, then the gld, the gold etf, what it trades at. and only after that would i go for the stocks of the gold minors. my favorite is goldcorp gg for you home gamers. we heard from last night. a good story. since i like gold, i haven't felt the need to get behind silver because as my friend tom caplan, a legendary metal investor put it silver is gold on steroids. I've got enough problem with the volatility of gold whom. needs silver. you disagree? look at the monumental collapse in this metal. silver is a poor man's gold with industrial exposure they don't need at this point in the cycle. even worse, silver has been overrun by day traders using ETFs. and that makes it too hard to game or even speculate on where the price will be a day from now, let alone a week or a month or year. so my bottom line on bimetallism is this. i like gold. silver is too hot to handle. i'm simply taking a pass. stick with gold. don't crucify your portfolio on a cross of silver. stick with Cramer.

Ahead of today’s US nonfarm payrolls data we would tread cautiously, as the anticipation of this release is likely to prompt heightened volatility with a downside bias. In the wake of the release, a slightly better-than-expected result (or one in line with expectations) might come as a relief and consequently see some knee-jerk buying in Gold.
Gold is now below $1,500, a level we’ve been targeting for some time now. While maintain our position that we see better value in a long gold position here, our bias still favours more downside. We judge gold relative to our measure of global liquidity – we believe it can come down more, closer to $1,450. Silver has tested its 100d MA at $34.43. Given our view on gold and base metals, we view further losses as the more likely outcome. A break below $34.43 could see silver all the way back to $29/30.
Gold support is at $1,458 and $1,430. Resistance is at $1,518 and $1,550. Silver support is at $32.86 and $30.96, resistance is at $38.12 and $41.48.
The COMEX manipulating the silver Market , The CME increased margins 5 times! this is forcing investors to sell , they raised margin requirements from $9000 to $21000 in five days ! there is no small investor that can handle that so they are all wiped out ,Guys like George Soros and Carlos Slim are dumping paper, not real. They never had any to begin with....Its all just blips on a screen and some day soon, we will hold the worlds real wealth....
We must remember the drop in the silver price in 2008 from $21 to $9. That drop was a higher percentage than the one we have currently experienced. Like the increase we have seen from $9 to almost $50, imagine the increase we will see from say $30?!?!? I think the paper is easier to track than physical. In the physical world, premiums are getting higher, many online dealers are running low on the popular coins. As far as suggestions, everyone has their favorites, you can buy government mint coins at a slightly higher premium, or you can just buy generic rounds as long as it's at least .999 silver. Most of us seem to go with Silver Eagles and Canadian Maples, but you're good as long as it's pure silver. And junk silver.

Jim Cramer : all things gold and silver got pounded again today. as people who bought them with borrowed money were force the to put up more cash or get blown out of their positions. something i have been warning you about all week. this sell-off is about market mechanics, not the fundamentals, so i'm not backing away from gold as a fantastic long-term money-making theme. you need to have gold in your portfolio. now that it's begun to pull back and pull back hard, it's time to consider building a position slowly if you still don't have any exposure to the shiny stuff. remember, my playbook is simple. i like bullion, actually gold bars.
