As Prices Drop, Gold Sales Explode at US MintBy Joshua Krause But now its not so easy to make that claim. The US Mint has made another incredible announcement. Their gold has been flying off the shelves lately, and they havent sold this much since April of 2013, which totaled 210,000 ounces. When Reuters mentioned this fact on Wednesday, the mint had sold 110,000 ounces. Just two days later ZeroHedge mentioned that their sales had grown to 143,000 ounces for July. At this rate, their gold sales may match their previous record by the end of the month. And all of this happened on a day when the gold price reached another 5year low. Supposedly lower demand is driving the price down, but theres clearly an increasing demand for the physical metal. When something as simple as supply and demand doesnt add up, its time to question the legitimacy of the forces responsible for setting the price.

Dont blow your wad too soon. Expect it to lower further. It wont stay down for long though. After all this dipping, the next expectation is for it to shoot up again. Good post. Harry Dent and Associates claim Ag@$300 and Si @ $7.00 as we collapse. Soon to recover.
