The coffee growers are thinking seriously about switching to other crops, especially those plants from which various hallucinogenic drugs are made. Why? Because there is a huge surplus of coffee being grown around the world, with new lands joining each year. It costs about $2.50 per pound to grow, and brings in $1.50. Viet Nam […]

For 150 years or more, in American History, the ratio between gold and silver, was 16 to 1. In 1980, when Bunker Hunt was attempting to corral the world’s silver supply, and prices went sky high on both gold and silver…the ratio between the two…was 16 to 1. In other words, the price of one […]

Honestly, will it never stop? All around the world, there is literally a paper jungle. Masses of papers scattered everywhere. Be it in Italy, where the number one outfit, Parmalat bit the dust, to New York, and other places, where millions of dollars in fines have been levied on America’s biggest, and most trusted financial […]

I hope you have seen that silly 1989 film, “A Weekend At Bernie’s.” It’s about these two guys who are invited by their boss, Bernie, to spend the weekend at his posh place in the country. When they get there, they discover that Bernie has expired, and no one knows but them. So they prop […]

Most Americans don’t trust their government, and rightfully so, unless you think everything they say is true. Those who protect themselves with gold and silver are highly suspicious of government “money,” and want to get out of it. This is sensible, and if government’s “money” were any good, we wouldn’t be in business because our […]

As the dollar goes down, it is supposed to level out things, and make our exports cheaper afar, thereby benefiting American manufacturers. Why does the dollar go down, first of all? Easy. It is because it is basically a worthless piece of paper or denomination, whose grand proliferation by a President run wild with spending, […]

I get that question all the time, so we might as well examine “shortages.” Shortages are not new. They always exist in war time, and during WWII cigarettes were in short supply. Know why? Because first of all, lots of them were being shipped overseas to soldiers, but the main reason was that cigarettes have […]

We’ve established that gold in the ground, is a long way from gold coins in one’s hand. Also, that increased demand, in the case of gold and silver, will increase prices, because of limited supplies. As gold and silver go up in dollars, more and more mines will re-open, as their cost per ounce will […]

Gold and silver have gone up a lot already, and in my opinion, will go ever so much higher. As a matter of fact, this may be but the beginning of a run up in both metals, with the top unknown, as of this period. Why is it unknown? Because there is no limit as […]

I love old movies, especially the black and white ones from the 30’s and 40’s, and have hundreds of them on tape. I love new film too, and we go to the theatre often. We don’t go to see science fiction, or those rife with “special effects.” The last of the “Lord of the Rings” […]
