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 all the answers. They know all…at least their certificates and diplomas say they do. They know a T-bill from a bond, […]

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 one can go there in a Jeep. Know where all the snow went? It […]

GOLD-EAGLE.com is read by millions. It is our forum for gold, silver, and stock trends, theories, graphs, estimates, plus assorted opinions and predictions. Wonderful web site, and thanks to its suppliers. Whether we are into stocks and bonds or not, we are all interested in gold, inflation, the value of paper instruments, and our eventual […]

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 2AM Pacific time. I get it here in Colorado easily.) Here […]

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 have one’s surplus assets in a safe, accessible place, where they can be seen, touched, […]

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 fun to imagine the world if Chamberlain hadn’t come back […]

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 has no value other than as legal tender, meaning we are forced to use it to […]

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 suit, no one would think him to be naked. He wore his […]

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 plants could be built because of absurd “environmental” rules and other artificial heavy baggage. Rates were controlled, as was every facet of the […]

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 our economic health. Look at the facts, and first of all go back to 1945. When […]
