Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter
Welcome to Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter with Richard Schwary, written regularly after the CME close. This commentary will look at the gold, silver, platinum and palladium markets and consider what happened to create these changes on the trading floor. It will also offer world class commentary from other sources in a balanced and straightforward manner.

This Almost Famous Gold Newsletter is not designed to sell products or hype markets. It will offer an opinion about market direction from an old time bullion dealer with 42 years of physical trading experience.
Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter may include talk about premiums, why they change and how this drives public choice. On occasion we remind readers to be careful about “so-called” bullion products offered by telemarketers who should be ashamed of themselves.
In a world which has been turned on its head with currency expansion Our Almost Famous Gold Newsletter is finding a niche among precious metals readers looking for something fun, useful and not too serious.
Of course it’s free and you can sign up using the form below. We promise you will not be accosted with “Special Deals”, immediate get-rich schemes or telephone calls trying to sell you something you don’t want under the guise of something you can’t live without.
