    Mako Mining Corp. presents a compelling investment opportunity as a low-cost, high margin gold producer with strong operational momentum, optionality in exploration potential, management excellence and imminent catalysts supported by a clean balance sheet.

    Gold rose but weaker than expected: December report

    Spot gold rose 0.5% to $2,663.79 per ounce, as of 9:55 a.m. ET (1455 GMT) and hit its highest since Dec. 13. U.S. gold futures gained 0.5% to $2,679.70.

    Weaker private payrolls “is contributing to gold’s move, because ultimately, weaker employment numbers imply that the economy has been weaker than many had expected,” said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities.

    “The bigger factor will be U.S. nonfarm payrolls on Friday, the market is expecting a change of 163 (thousand); anything significantly above that will be negative for gold,” Melek said.

    Renowned economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff has issued a bold new call: silver is about to break out – and fast. In a tweet posted earlier today, Schiff highlighted that silver has outperformed gold for two consecutive days, closing at $33.40 and touching an intraday high of $33.50.

    “Silver is the most underpriced hard asset on the planet. While gold protects wealth, silver could build it during the next financial reset.”

    March 31 is “Buy Silver” Day for investors

    March 31 has become a flashpoint for silver buyers hoping to shake up the market—and possibly squeeze out the short sellers.

    If only the physical market demand for silver could overcome the paper market short sellers, the spot price of silver would almost certainly take off much higher.  Toward that end, there is a developing strategy for investors around the world to purchase physical silver on March 31.  This day is the focus because it is the final trading day of the calendar quarter, when financial firms need to report their financial results.
