    There’s going to be a market crash soon.

    Possibly next week.

    Everything’s going down.

      Jun 11, 2011 11:31 PM

      If or rather when the market crashes, what will happen to the precious metal sector?

        Jun 11, 2011 11:27 PM

        There will be a downturn, but not as bad as 2008.

        HI Allen,

        See my comment to Bogert.

        I am not an investment adviser, by the way, I am just telling everyone what I personally am doing.

        Best,

        Big Al

      Hi Bogert,

      I remain bullish on the metals. Really! Just my opinion, but I continue to put my money where my mouth is.

      It is getting scarier out there by the day!

    Hi Al,
    As usual I am sitting in my office on a Saturday catching up on the weeks calls and emails . It is part of my routine to have your show on while I am working away. I wanted to comment on David Coffins segment regarding the Yukon. The geology does not stop at the boarder of Alaska and I think it needs to be repeated from time to time that this exploration boom is driven by discovery but the dollars that have made this possible in a large part were flow through dollars and as we move forward in this Gold market I think we will see more encouraging news coming from companies working on the Alaska side. Its just been tailing the Yukon because the exploration dollars do not have the same tax advantage. An example is First Star resources FS.v. They put out some interesting numbers this week on their property in Alaska, which is under a JV with Corvus a spin out from International Tower Hill -ITH.
    Anyways, once again thanks for providing such a well rounded insight to the mining sector. I always recommend your show as a must listen…

      Many thanks Chris,

      How is everything going with you?

      Let me know,

    Very surprised the Kitco situation was not brought up on the weekend show.

      Jun 11, 2011 11:03 PM

      what is te kitco situation? good or bad?

      Jun 12, 2011 12:14 PM

      AL could you speak on this subject? concerning kitco as this might be the overreach of the govt. or the tax evasion issue as stated by the Canadian govt.

      Jun 12, 2011 12:00 PM

      Hi Har,

      I spoke with two people from Kitco on Friday.

      Obviously, not a great situation. I will begin to cover this on Monday. I was asked last Friday to only quote the press release which is found on the Kitco home page.

      Wow, will be interesting to see how this plays out!

      Best,

      Big Al

        Thanks Big A. Sorry I have not commented more. I have been slammed by work. Working 100-110 hours a week. I appreciate you looking into this. Could the Perth Mint be nexted????

    Jun 12, 2011 12:21 AM

    I’m always positive on pm’s. For Kitco, a few bad apples in the apple basket. And if their is a sell off in the broad markets next week, what a great buying time. But wait for a bottom.

    Jun 12, 2011 12:02 PM

    I will get back to everyone on the Kitco situation Monday before noon pacific daylight time.

    Best to all,

    Big Al

      Jun 13, 2011 13:08 PM

      So does that mean they will send me my rounds?

      Also, I did not see anything addressing the Kitco situation today on your site.

    Hi Folks,

    Here is a comment from a listener which we will respond to on a Daily Editorial this week.

    Hi Al, I love your show. I especially love it when you have trader Rog on. I’ve been in gold since ’01.
    I got married in ’04 and my wife has been on board with the gold investing. She recently asked me a question that I had no idea how to answer: If our economy crashes–who will be around to buy the gold/silver?

    My question is this: Let’s say the market is screaming to savvy investors that the top is near because everybody and their brother is in gold—If that’s say 5 years from now, Won’t we just be selling the gold for the worthless paper that we have the now called money? And won’t it be worth even less five years from now?

    Also, if you could email more sites about survival? How much/what kinds of food should we store etc etc.

    Thanks, Mark Carnahan

    Al,

    Thanks for including energy into your weekly program. Segment 8 this week and its reference to Gasfrac was very interesting. Possibly you can interview the CEO of Gasfrac in a future program. It certainly seems to be in the right place at the right time.
    Thanks for all that you do.
    Sincerely,

    Bob in Iowa

    Even as we blog or post and search the web site, today’s dollars are becoming worth less and less. Last I checked, gold futures trading were trading at $1902 an oz! Thus regardless of what advice all of us trade here, we must do something to protect the few pence all of us keep following costs. So I was wondering if anyone has practical knowledge purchasing bullion? Can it even exist? Just how do you keep from getting scammed?
