Back in England 1919 a principal group of bullion traders and refiners got together to determine a fair price for precious metals. Each member of the group representing their own interests and the interests of their clients (meaning each bullion trader owns precious metals in their name and represents investments of their clients) gathers in a room to buy or sell their precious metals. One by one the traders would state the amount of silver, for example, that they want to buy or sell. Once each representative made his intentions know, the chair reviewed the requests and determined if the amount to buy was larger than the amount to be sold or visa-versa. If more there was more demand to buy than to sell, the chair would propose a higher price of silver; if the demand to sell was larger than to buy, the chair would propose a lower price of silver.

Stock Market Volatility
U.S. markets this week have painted the perfect picture of volatility.
But exactly what does stock market volatility mean for investors?
Listen to this new episode of the Gold Cast with Jim Sharpe and Landmark Capital CEO David Fischer. On this episode they talk about stock market volatility. Volatility, is the amount of uncertainty about the size of changes in the stock market.
A higher volatility means stocks’ values can be spread over a larger range — in other words, an index or stock price can change radically over a short time period, either up or down. That’s risky.
Alternatively, lower volatility means that stocks’ values don’t greatly fluctuate. Rather, their values change at a steady pace over time, which is much less risky.
