I love railroads and good writing. I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of railroad books, many first editions, and by authors long dead. One of my most valuable, I suspect, was written by Lucius Beebe and his pal Charlie Clegg. Beebe was one of the all time great writers of the English […]
I will write my intended column on Virginia City and the absolute beauty and wealth creating ability of silver on Thursday. The below seems more appropriate now. The Dictionary says commodities are things “bought and sold,” or “a useful thing.” Currently, commodities are down in price. Why? Because as far as home building commodities […]
I’m serious. Silver has often been called the “poor man’s gold,” and for good reason. It’s ONE FIFTY SECOND OF THE PRICE OF GOLD. Literally, you can get 52 ounces of silver for one ounce of gold. It shouldn’t be that way. With gold at $880, silver by historic standards, should be $55.00 per […]
I Don’t mean potatoes and cabbage, but the President and Congress. Those 436 men and women, have ruined us and our nation. Look at what’s wrong, and ask yourself, who did it? Who got us into two absurd, needless, expensive, life taking, current wars? The P&C. Who spends, spends, and spends without end, thereby […]
I simply cannot comprehend anything as idiotic, silly, and for that matter unscientific, as is the theory that the universe came into existence with a “big bang.” How ludicrous! These geeks will do anything to keep from admitting to a creator. Even an atheist will have to admit that an explanation of how we […]
I honestly cannot believe how utterly strange the idea of holding gold and silver is, to 99% of the people out there in never-never land. We had a snack with a couple after church Sunday night. She’s town councilwoman, and he’s a county commissioner. Both very wonderful, intelligent people. Somehow the subject of economics […]
There are two main candidates for President of the US, and they are John McCain and Barak Obama. McCain is 70ish, ex POW, white, Republican, and been a Senator for many years. Obama is a Democrat, has a Harvard degree, and has served about two years as a US Senator, besides being a state […]
There are a few which people make, will make, or think of making. (1) Switch gold for silver. It makes no sense, because you’ll sell the gold at the ’bid’ price, and have to ship it. Then, you buy the silver at ’ask’ price, and pay a commission and shipping also. That may make […]
The new national debt machine on the web site, indicates that the US government is going into debt by a million dollars every 45 seconds. As a client of mine says, “I can hold my breath long enough for the government to run up a million in debt.” The two year fed note rate is […]
The Dictionary says that being paranoid is characterized by “extreme suspiciousness.” Well then, if a person is not ’extremely suspicious,’ I suppose he isn’t paranoid? I say that if a person is not at least a bit paranoid today, he is not thinking too clearly or not at all! I know there are degrees […]
