Really?
Over the years, I have had a few calls such as the one I received Friday, from the son of a deceased customer of mine. I think he must have been maybe 60. I didn’t ask, but his Dad had died recently, younger...
Barter
Most have never heard of barter during the Great Depression, but I am certain it did happen many times. Unemployment was 25%, jobs were virtually impossible to obtain, and hundreds of the unemployed were selling apples on...
Intelligence
(Last week’s first story about Wirecard: CEO resigned and company went bankrupt.) Pity stockholders who bought when advisors said it was ‘hot.’ I watch looters break into stores, and always think...
"Millions go Missing"
That’s the headline in a front-page story in Friday’s Journal (6/19/20). The first paragraph reads: “Wirecard AG, one of Europe’s biggest and fastest growing fintech companies, said auditors...
Unions
I believe the normal human trend, is to associate with your own race, language, trade, religion, etc. I have a next-door neighbor who is a third my age, rents his house, has a motorcycle, and naturally, since he rents rather than...
Police Racism?
By Don Stott 6/7/2020 This column will be direct quotes from two books and a song, plus my comments. From the book “The War on Cops.” “The charge of systemic police bias was wrong during the Obama...
Protest?
Left white and black U.S. citizens, and even sympathizers in other parts of the world, are ‘protesting.’ Violence, police cars incinerated, stores looted, screaming, violence, and law breaking everywhere. ...
Debt
The world seems to be economically shattering. As an example, Argentina, the third biggest economy in South America, has just, for the ninth time in its history, defaulted on an interest payment, this time of $500...
How Many?
”Barnes Federal Code,” published by Bobbs-Merrill Co. in 1919, is a book I found in a used book store many years ago. A sub heading of the title says: “Containing all Federal Statues of General and Public...
Three Lucky Brothers
13 years ago, there were three hypothetical brothers: Tom, Dick and Harry. Their father died and left them each $50,000, with instructions in his will not to spend the inheritance, but to invest in the best way they could...
Stott's Law - 1977
In a column of mine April 6 and 13, I posted an idea which is so simple as a way to get over this lockdown nonsense and total bother, that it should be obvious. I tried to get it on the air or in print, other than in my...
"I Can't Buy Anything with Gold"
I must have heard that a hundred times over the last 43 years that I have been dealing with gold and silver. “It’s just a pretty metal. I want dollars with which I can buy things. It’s the...
"I Can't Buy Anything with Gold"
I must have heard that a hundred times over the last 43 years that I have been dealing with gold and silver. “It’s just a pretty metal. I want dollars with which I can buy things. It’s the...
Book Report
If you remember a couple of columns ago, I quoted from a book titled “End of Days,” by the late Sylvia Browne, in which she wrote on pages 250 and 251, “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia like illness will spread...
Forward This
The second section of last week’s column, I consider to be extremely important. Why? Because my state, Colorado, as well as most, if not all the rest of the states are shut down, with all businesses, factories,...
You Decide
I think most informed people now realize that America is China’s enemy, and that if it weren’t for America’s ‘big box stores,’ China would still be as it was 55 years ago under Chairman Mao, and that...
China, China how does your virus grow?
Not with silver bells and cockle shells, but with restaurants, schools, theatres, and anything outside the home, forbidden. The left-wing media, in all forms, still refuses to point to the virus’ origin, and that is...
Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails (plus bats now) are what make viruses
How tragic that the entire world is now lain low, with no restaurants, theatres, shopping, entertainment, toilet paper, and basics of all types. Thanks a lot Chinese! How appalling it is that tens, and maybe even...
Curtains
Happy St Patty’s Day you Irish. You all know the saying, ”It’s curtains for you.” It means the end. It’s all over. It may true for the Chinese, after they started another...
Promises Promises
(They never come true) The Parts of the song are so true: “You made me promises, promises, knowing I would believe. Promises, promises, you knew you’d never keep.” A classic promise example is the...
