I well remember 1980, because I began dealing in precious metals in November of 1977. I began with North American Coin and Currency in 1977, and quit March 1st of 1980 when I knew they were going kaput. In 1980, gold went to $850 and silver $54, or a ratio of about 16 to 1. […]
My two favorite holidays are July 4th and Thanksgiving, so on the eve of Thanksgiving, I want everyone to give thanks for everything good and gracious. Give thanks for being an American, or for being in America. Give thanks for the remaining freedoms we still have. Give thanks for our up-bringing and our wonderful parents […]
The Congress shall have the power to…coin Money (and) regulate the Value thereof. Article One, Section Eight, Constitution of the United States of America. In other words, printing fake $100 bills, is counterfeiting. Why do you think that when you present a hundred dollar bill to a cashier, she or he usually marks it with […]
A few items which may be of interest to you before I get into other things, maybe Monday. The ’destruction of America’ series will continue, as I think of other disasters, of which there are plenty, but other things must be said as well, so here goes. The U.S. Mint has ceased production of the […]
Dick Lamm, a former governor of Colorado, whom I have met a couple of times, is an extremely smart fellow! At a speech earlier this year, he said the following, and the audience was so stunned, that when he finished, they sat in silence. The truth hurts so much when it is placed in front […]
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, the “War To End All Wars” was officially ended. Initially it was called “Armistice Day.” then “Decoration Day,” then “Memorial Day,” and now I think, “Veterans Day.” Be sure to fly your flag in honor of the close to a million brave U.S. […]
Have you ever noticed that of late, the metals price sort of follows the stock market price? Many wonder why, and there is a good reason. First of all, optimism springs eternal for devotees of the stock market. I think the stock market is on extremely shaky legs, but who knows for sure? One reason […]
Unfortunately, most people think that when the fed reduced the interest rate by a quarter percent, they were in good shape. Really? Within minutes of the rate reduction, the price of oil went up $4, and the dollar sank like a lead sinker. Make sense? Maybe not to the sheeple, but consider the economic facts. […]
Since my main point of this is the decaying dollar and spending beyond the means of the boobs in D.C., we must also include another prime reason for the dollar’s debasement and huge national debt. If you read books, you should read “The Creature From Jekyll Island.” This book tells the entire history of the […]
Here goes another reason why America is going down the tubes. How about the word “help?” Take schools, as a glaring example. The Dept. of Education educates no one, but it seems to me that since it’s inception, schools have gotten even worse, if that’s possible. Stop and think about the public schools for a […]
