Over the past few weeks I've been chronicling the many signs of a bottom forming in gold and silver.
I've noted gold's occasional jumps higher, even in the face of rising oil prices, strengthening Treasury yields, and a stronger dollar.

Ultra-Secure Swiss Vault Storage from Tara Gold and Silver Ltd.
Tara Gold is delighted to announce the launch of our ultra-secure gold and silver secure storage service.
GATA followers can now own gold and silver coins and bars -- including the Gold and Silver Trees of Life — with fully segregated, allocated holdings in one of the safest vault providers in Switzerland and the world.
All coins and bars are held in your name. Not a paper claim. Not someone else's liability. Real, physical precious metals you can visit, inspect, take delivery of, or sell at any time.
Safety, Trust & Privacy: Our Swiss storage partner is Helveticor AG in Zurich. Tara Gold's Mark O'Byrne, after extensive international due diligence, served as Helveticor's global ambassador for two years and stores metal with them personally. He has known the owners and senior staff for 20 years and trusts their vaults implicitly. Your metals there are fully insured and held outside the banking system — no counterparty risk, no digital risk, and no fractional reserving, with complete discreetness and privacy.
Liquidity: Switzerland is a primary hub for precious metals. You can sell quickly and competitively, with proceeds transferred directly to your bank account.
Tax Efficiency: Gold and silver in Swiss-bonded vaults are exempt from sales taxes. You pay only if you remove bullion from Switzerland.
For holdings of $100,000 or more, the combination of security, privacy, liquidity, and tax efficiency makes this a compelling international diversification.
For rates, application forms, and all key information, visit here or contact GATA supporter Tara Gold and Silver Ltd.'s Mark O'Byrne at mark@taracoins.com or +353-12641850.
I've explained gold's seasonality -- and that it usually bottoms between mid-July and mid-August.
And I've emphasized that only two factors have been holding gold back: the war with Iran and the mistaken belief that Chairman Kevin Warsh's Fed is going to embark on a rate-hiking campaign.
Importantly, I've highlighted that both of these factors are temporary.
And today I'm writing to tell you of another important indicator that much better days are ahead for gold, silver and mining stocks:
Sign-ups and sell-outs for New Orleans!
Over the past five decades, through some of the biggest bull and bear markets for gold, we've noticed that perhaps the most accurate metals market indicator has been the attendees at the New Orleans Investment Conference.
It makes sense: These are the smartest, most successful, experienced, and independent-minded investors around. When they sense a bull run in the making, they rush to the best place to take advantage of it.
That would be each year's New Orleans Conference -- because a scintillating track record posted over decades has proven that this event is the best place to be in a metals and mining bull run.
And this year's response from our attendees is screaming that another big move is on the way.
You see, our phones, emails and web orders are absolutely buzzing these days with sign-ups for New Orleans '26.
As I write we're selling the last few booths available in our exhibit hall, and attendee registrations are running far ahead of any pace we've seen in decades.
Of course, the timing is perfect, as the metals and mining sector should be rollicking by the time of this year's event. And again, everyone knows that the New Orleans Conference is THE place to be when the bull is running in this market.
But smart investors also flock to our event because of our best-in-the-world roster of experts. As I've stressed many times before, you may find two or three of our speakers at other conferences ... but you won't find 30!
Once again, our agenda is bursting at the seams with panels, presentations and workshops from dozens of today's top thought leaders, including:
Grant Williams, Doug Casey, Danielle DiMartino Booth , Brent Johnson, Dominic Frisby, Peter Boockvar, Jim Iuorio, Peter Schiff, Adrian Day, Tavi Costa, George Gammon, Russell Gray, Robert Helms, Adam Taggart, and Frank Giustra.
Also, Mark Skousen, Bob Prechter, Dave Collum, Nick Hodge, Don Durrett, Brent Cook, Lobo Tiggre, Jeff Clark, Jeff Phillips, Albert Lu, Jennifer Shaigec, Chris Powell, Kerry Stevenson, Dana Samuelson, Daniela Cambone, Rich Checkan, Gerardo Del Real, Mary Anne and Pamela Aden, Omar Ayales, and Steve Hochberg. ...
...and more, including of course yours truly!
The way things are going right now, I believe we're going to have to turn people away this year. So I urge you to click on this link --
