Even if you discount political games and meddling. the Fed is run by economists and when have you ever known an economist get any forecast right?
It's one of life's great mysteries to me why anyone puts any faith in these people, their "science" is a total sham.
I can understand their use to politicians; someone to blame when things invariably go wrong, but why people in general swallow their "snake oil" cures is amazing.

Good form @MickB

Good for you, MickB. Honesty and integrity is a scarce commodity in many people today....glad to see you value it in yourself.

^  You're doing the right thing by being honest, in my book.

Today I received my 2006 silver proof Queens' 80th birthday coin that I won on ebay for just over £16.
On top of that in the post was a package with an ASE & a 2017 silver Britannia that I never ordered.
It was addressed to me but had the wrong house number on it. When I opened it there was a receipt with order status 'complete'. Now I then compared it to my recent order receipt from the same firm that had 'processed' in the order status. Duplicate order from Yorkshire bullion!
Me being me, I've tried ringing them but no response. I'll give them another ring in the morning. I could easily say nothing but they haven't done me a bad turn & have been pretty good with my orders.

Superb picture

The £ bottomed in April and has been strengthening ever since. I therefore can not believe that brexit has anything to do with the strength of the pound, and do not think the UK will be on the losing side if we leave. You are right that silver will be significantly more expensive, but only because we will no longer be able to take advantage of the reduced VAT, not because the pound will be weaker.
The Euro will be the loser in the case of Britain leaving as it is a net contributor. The project will be a few hundred million short for its annual budget which will do nothing to support confidence in either the Euro or the future sustainability of the project itself without some tough times for the remaining members.

Not sure which bookies you've been looking at, but the stay odds have been drifting quite a bit in the last few days.
Betfair was down to 1/5 for a remain, now it's around 1/3. Leave was 5/1, now its down to around 11/4
I think you are missing the point regarding leaving the EU. The UK would NOT be erecting any walls. In fact leaving would enable us to dismantle the walls put up by the EU with the rest of the world outside of the EU. The UK is more than happy to trade freely with the EU, we just don't want to put up with daft unworkable rules, created by unelected officials, and then having to pay for all of it. We can trade freely with the EU, without filling the pockets of Brussels, and we would be able to trade freely with the rest of the world.
I can remember a time when our shops were full of cheap New Zealand lamb and butter, with adverts for these products on our TV every day. The EU put a stop to that. I can remember the "Buy British" campaigns, but the EU said Non to that. The French farmers burn a few tyres, block a few roads and they get massive subsidies and we end up paying more for goods
I can remember our fishermen having one of the greatest fleets in the world, and our seas being full of Cod, Herring, etc. But the the EU allowed the Spanish to raid our waters with their factory ships, (Drake would be spinning in his grave), and our fishing fleet is decimated and is now a shadow of what it was.  
I can remember the butter mountains and grain stockpiles caused by the Common agricultural policy, that actually raised food prices, and stopped developing countries from selling cheap food to us.
Was all this MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL for us..................do me a favour. 
 
As for trade embargoes, I'm not sure you've realised this, but they have NOTHING to do with economics, and are political measures to put pressure on countries whose policies have an adverse effect on their neighbours and the rest of the world.   
 
 
 

My thinking is that as we now have Base metals sitting at 50% of their 2011 highs, gold and silver may follow that trend. Hence my thoughts about £600 an ounce.

I was trying to get them just before you posted so someone who is not a SF member may have grabbed them.
I may get this gold slabbed and graded by Willy Wonka.
