FDIC - YOUR DOLLARS ARE SAFE!
Most of us have insurance. Auto insurance especially, since accidents do happen, and one can never predict when some nutty, pimple faced, testosterone soaked, teenage male will attempt to test GM’s differential gears...
WHEN ARE PRICES GOING UP?
Of all the questions I am asked, practically on a daily basis, the most common one is, "When are prices of gold and silver going to go up?" It’s a logical question. After all, we gold and silver enthusiasts have been...
Developing Nations, Greenhouse Gases, Military Intelligence, and Prices are going up
There are so many non sequiturs going around these days, that one can hardly tell fact from fiction. Take the trite expression "Developing Nations" which was coined by some liberal apologist from the United Nations, which name...
Professional Economic Advisors
I just completed a telephone survey of all the registered, approved, financial planners in my town. They have various degrees, diplomas, and certificates of achievement, which certifies them as experts in economics. They have...
Where has all the Silver gone?
The picture below was taken on Sunday, June 3rd at Yankee Boy Basin, 40 miles from my home, in glorious Colorado. One can’t Jeep there in winters or even spring, because there is perhaps 50 feet of snow there. But now...

I Just Want Facts Mam, Just the Facts
Of course we all remember Dragnet, with Joe Friday telling everyone that he just wanted the facts. (If you are in the west and love old radio, LA 50,000 watt KNX radio, AM 1070, has old radio shows twice a night, at 9PM and...
GOLD OR SILVER? WHICH?
As a precious metals broker for close to 24 years, I almost daily get questioned as to which precious metal is the most desirable, or prudent one in which to invest. Both have definite advantages, and both are wonderful. To...
What Would Happen if....?
We all wonder what would happen if certain things take place, just as we wonder what our life would be like if we had done so and so, married that gal we still think about occasionally, or had bought IBM 50 years ago. It is...
COIN CLIPPING AND INFLATION
All readers of GOLD-EAGLE know, I hope, that inflation is caused by increasing the supply of "money," regardless of what form it may take. I must use "money" in quotes, because current "money" isn’t money at all, as it...
The Emperor Has No Clothes
We all remember the tale of the weaver who made a wonderful cloth which was invisible to one of royal birth or of the nobility. All the others of common status, naturally could see the cloth, and if the Emperor wore his new...
Gold, Silver, and Electricity
Silly comparison? I think not. First, let’s look at "electricity." Consider electricity on the left coast especially, and that is California. For years, California regulated electricity to the ultimate degree. No new...
Dependent on Japan?
I honestly wish I could agree with the P.C. (non-Austrian) "economists," who today seem to believe that we are dependent upon Japan! This is about as true as saying that we are dependent on blood sucking welfare recipients for...
A Tiger in Your Tank?
Those of us with a bit of age on us well remember the Standard Oil commercials with the tiger urging us all to "put a tiger in our tank," meaning of course, that the gas sold by them was powerful, and similar to placing a...
Flight to Safety?
If all the roads were closed, should you sell your Chevy and buy a Ford? If there is a food shortage, should you buy new silver service? If the stock market tanks should you buy bonds? In other words is a so called "flight to...
The Truth About Shortages
Is there a shortage of Model A Fords? No. Is there a shortage of housing? No. Is there a shortage of anything that is available for a price which the "market" dictates? No, and that is the basic fact of supply and demand....
HOW MANY TAXES DO YOU REALLY PAY?
The power to tax involves the power to destroy." Chief Justice John Marshall The income tax was begun in 1913 as an amendment to the Constitution, legally ratified by far fewer than the required 36 states. Is it legal? A bit...
Girls Get Prettier At Closing Time
It’s an old country phrase of course, but a truism, and it can be taken to mean several things in the economic world. As a precious metals broker for many years, my current take on the phrase is that now, just when...
Diary of a depression
First of all, the cruel depression of the 1930’s did not begin with the stock market crash of October 1929. Although the market had lost 84% of its value in that crash, the depression that rocked America and the rest...
