I really believe in the ratios. At least the ratios between silver and gold, which did get to 80 to 1 recently. As I write this drivel, the ratio is now 68.5 to 1. I honestly believe it will go to at least 35 to 1, or below. This means that with gold at $400. […]
“Shucks Paw, gimme a chaw er terbaky.” Well it isn’t really that way, but I love to talk about funny money. Red Dog Money, and Blue Pup Money, are actual facts of history. Unfortunately, I cannot find any of either to photograph, so I cannot illustrate them, but they did exist. This was in the […]
The Mormons have a wonderful hymn, titled, “Come, Come, Ye Saints.” At the end of some phrases, are the words, “All is Well, All is Well.” I am not a Mormon, but that is a lovely, stirring hymn. Makes me think of Sir Alan, CNBC, et al, and their continual telling us that “All is […]
George W. Bush, and his Daddy, George H.W. Bush, both have lied through their teeth, and it will cost Dubya the next election, just like lying cost his Daddy his re-election. Two of them is enough anyway. Daddy Bush lied when he proclaimed “Read my lips, no new taxes.” He raised them, and Clinton got […]
We all have “ice boxes,” (refrigerators) as my ancient vocabulary is wont to call them. The antique “ice box,” is now a highly collectible, expensive item when purchased in antique stores, and especially if one is in good condition. For you youngsters, the “ice box”, was a primitive refrigerator. (Us oldsters still call refrigerators ice […]
Suppose everyone in America, bought one single Gold Eagle. Suppose, every single silver futures contract holder, took delivery. Just suppose. The results of this, would be earth shaking. Imagine everyone in the entire world, buying just one single once of gold, and an equal amount of silver. Why not? What would be wrong with earth’s […]
We all gamble a bit in our lives. We gamble when we pick a mate, buy a car, home, or even groceries. Brand name or off brand, when buying food stuffs? Ford or Mercedes? Tall or short, woman or man? All sorts of gambles exist in our lives. The major gambling, which most of us […]
Deflation is all the rage now. Everyone says we’re going to have “deflation,” and I place that in quotes, because of the fact that it is impossible for us to have true “deflation,” now. Lower prices on some things, surely, but not “deflation.” Deflation, means there is a decrease in the currency supply, and inflation, […]
Picture the hunter who is a poor shot. Picture the wounded deer, who has limped off into the woods to lick its wounds. The hunter goofed, and isn’t going to go home with the venison. The deer is mortally wounded, and is doing the best it can to survive. It can’t, but continues licking its […]
Ever run out of gas? It isn’t a pleasant experience. As a matter of fact, it is an inconvenience of heroic proportions. Last time I did it, was on the way to Las Vegas in Sherman, the 1979 Lincoln I wrote about a long time ago, and which I still use on road trips because […]
