If you aren’t on Twitter you’re missing out on the chance to interact with some of the most interesting people in the world gold community.
During any given week there are thousands upon thousands of tweets related to gold, economics, the economy, finance and much more. While it’s virtually impossible to pick my favorite gold tweets for the past week, below are 5 of them, plus some additional information about each person including: 1) their Twitter handle; 2) a little bit about what they Tweet about and why I like it; 3) a link to their web site or blog.
Favorite Gold Tweets #1
We have a new cold war, currency wars, gold wars, an oil war and the Middle East is collapsing. Besides that everything else is fine.
— Dan Popescu (@PopescuCo) December 6, 2014
Dan Popescu tweets about a wide variety of gold-related topics. His articles appear frequently at GoldBroker.com. He has also interviewed well-known figures in the gold community as well. He also frequently retweets content tweeted by others.
Favorite Gold Tweets #2
In light of new info, there appear to be discrepancies in the Fed's narrative & we've come to the conclusion our trust in it was misplaced.
— Rudolf E. Havenstein (@RudyHavenstein) December 6, 2014
For sheer entertainment value there is none better than Rudy Havenstein. His Twitter bio describes him thus:
ReichsBank®President from 1908-1923; consultant to the Fed, BOE, BOJ. i love to print money. My way of joking is to tell the truth – GB Shaw. Kayle rekyse!
RudyHavenstein strikes the perfect balance between sarcasm and thought provoking information. Sometimes you just have to laugh at it all, otherwise you’ll end up jumping out in front of a bus.
There is no web site listed for RudyHavenstein, although there is this handy link to a FRED chart on the consumer purchasing power of the dollar. Hint: It ain’t what it used to be.

Alex Stanczyk is the Chief Market Strategist at Anglo Far-East Custodial Company. Aside from his duties at Anglo Far-East Custodial Company Mr. Stanczyk also posts at his own blog, and it’s definitely worth a look.

Blatant & massive market intervention: some fun with one-eyed gold commentary ignoring big up moves #worksbothways http://t.co/GZ3e0vuvfT
— Bron Suchecki (@bronsuchecki) December 4, 2014
Bron Suchecki is quickly becoming one of my favorites to follow on Twitter, as well as to read the posts over at his Gold Chat blog. Mr. Suchecki is Manager, Analysis and Strategy at The Perth Mint. His tweet above leads to a post on his site that discusses how precious metals manipulation is a two way street leading to both higher and lower prices. Frequently though, we only hear about the lower prices and not the higher ones.
So, that’s just a few of the folks I like to follow on Twitter. If you aren’t on Twitter now, I definitely encourage you to sign up. As a shameless plug, I’ve been there too, since October 2007, so feel free to follow me too.
