George Maniere: I can’t be the only person that finds it a bit ironic that the fate of the global economy rests on the decision of whether or not Greece remains a member of the European Union.

Kevin McElroy: I hope you followed my advice last week. I suggested buying shares of the ETFS Physical Platinum ETF (NYSE: PPLT). I put in a Good-Til-Cancelled bid (aka – a “stink-bid”) at $155, and it didn’t look like it would get filled. But then yesterday, the ETF gapped lower to just under $155, and I Read more…

Kevin McElroy: What’s the best time to buy gold on a seasonality basis? Today! Specifically, I’m referring to November 1st.
