To all of you out there listening, as always, a heart felt thanks. We've been at BlogWorld New York for the past few days, figuring out how to better do the show and better serve your needs. But I wanted to take a break and acknowledge the passing of our close friend, Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster. While we sent out an email to everyone on our list, we wanted to make sure that each of you understood the importance and reverance with which we held Bob. He was a clear voice of reason in a very confused and confusing...

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents: Bob Chapman, the international Forecaster, is back with us to answer these major questions: Is there any hope for Spain? Is Italy next? What happens after Spain blows up? Should Europe add Apple as a member of the EU and change the currency from the Euro to the Apple? While we can dream about white knights and Hollywood finishes, there's really no one out there who can save the EU from itself. The manipulation of the financial system continues unabated with no end in sight. The more markets are undermined by government schemes, the less they perform their...

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents Bob Chapman joined FSN again for our biweekly check-in. He believes things are going so badly in Europe, and they are getting worse by the moment. This means the elites must do everything in their power to keep the price of gold and silver in the cellar, no matter what it takes. But, it can only go on for so long until the market rights itself, and the manipulators get swept away. The good news is we're getting closer to that point, it's just a matter of time! While it's certainly a good idea to have some cold...

Bob Chapman is unworried and unconcerned over the precious metals smack down. Many of us saw it coming from several weeks back. The markets almost always gets slammed with the monthly release of the employment survey. Combine that with a holiday week, where the markets are thinly traded, and you wind up with what we're seeing now: declining gold and silver prices and market mayhem. Listen to the Interview

Bob Chapman is unworried and unconcerned over the precious metals smack down. Many of us saw it coming from several weeks back.

Bob Chapman joins us again today for our biweekly check-in. Since we've been doing the show together for almost a year, nothing much has changed, except that the elites are getting more and more brazen in their exploitative criminal enterprises. Bob thinks that Corzine maybe spending a weekend at Bernie's or perhaps even several years. While Corzine repeatedly claimed he had no idea where the money was, now it looks like he probably did. Yet again, and again, and again gold and silver are under attack. However, the system is cealrly moving to metals so you need to get there...

Bob Chapman joins us today for our biweekly precious metals check-in. Gold is down to around $1650, and there is mountainous trouble in Europe. Bob says what we're seeing is just a diversion to distract you from what's happening over in Europe. The US is blatantly in the market, and according to Bob manipulating it. The central banks of many countries like India and China are buying gold at anything under $1700. Bob has traded for 25 years as a professional, and he says BUY! Listen to the Interview here

Bob "The International Forecaster" Chapman is watching the precious metals raid and even he can't believe the depth and depravity of the efforts the Elite are using to stop gold and silver's rallies dead in their tracks. According to Bob, and we must agree, the raid will fail. It can't work in the long term, the underlying fundamentals show that fiat currencies are going the way of the buggy whip and the floppy disk. This is just another part of the concerted effort to try and undermine our faith in precious metals and jack up the confidence in paper currencies/...

Bob Chapman joined us today to address your never ending concerns about Greece and the financial tragi-comedy that seems to be stuck on hold. They're burning down banks now and they seem completely unprepared to accept the inevitable lower standard of living that's coming their way. Greece has always been a magnet for tourists and the return to the Drachna could make the country the discount travel capitol of the world. But there's much more that will need to happen before that takes place. Bob also reviews Gold and Silver prospects, which due to the world turmoil have never looked...

Bob, "The International Forecaster" and I sat down for a brief chat about the economy, gold, silver and the mining shares. Bob explains that frugal management, especially in the early years, is extremely important. Management should be involved to make profits from the eventual success of the project, rather than cashing in on high salaries and other compensations; share structure is also quite important. When companies have hundreds of millions of shares outstanding, before producing one ounce, this will greatly lessen the potential future share appreciation. Focus is also extremely important; concentration on a few or even just one project...

The International Forecaster joins us again, this week for our bi-weekly chat. Bob and I discuss the gold and silver New Year's take-off. We touch upon the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's review and investigation of the CME group. The C.F.T.C.'s has been tasked with looking into the leading causes of the MF Global failure. Check out a great interview Bob posted about this at www.theinternationalforecaster.com. Most of us thought Jon Corzine was finished, we were all sure he would never work on Wall Street again. However, Corzine is rumored to be going back into business and is even looking for...

We're back with our weekly discussion with The International Forecaster, Bob Chapman. Although the gold slam down continues and the price per ounce has dropped to a record low, Bob reminds us to remember the difference between paper and physical investments. Precious metals are a long-term investment. Don't be fooled by the mainstream media reports of the Christmas retail boom. The economy is not recovering, Sears and Kmart have announced the closing of over 100 stores and have left thousands of more people unemployed. The lesson of the day: buy while the buying is good.
