It’s an old country phrase of course, but a truism, and it can be taken to mean several things in the economic world. As a precious metals broker for many years, my current take on the phrase is that now, just when everyone should be accumulating actual, historic, tangible, fungible, money in the form of […]

First of all, the cruel depression of the 1930’s did not begin with the stock market crash of October 1929. Although the market had lost 84% of its value in that crash, the depression that rocked America and the rest of the world didn’t really get into full bloom until almost two years later. Ford […]

  For years, I have been harping about “Neutrality,” and I even wrote a chapter about it in a book I wrote over 20 years ago, (1998).  Never, has there been a more sensible thing to do, than to be like Switzerland, and be absolutely neutral.  Here’s parts of that 1998 chapter, and see if […]

  This is so true, that it is undeniable.  Broken cars, furniture, teeth, shoes, and computers can be fixed, but you simply cannot fix stupid.  The most obvious demonstration of this fact, is that Mitt Romney and Obama are not only tied, but Obama is a couple of points ahead.  Now, look at who Obama […]

  As usual, my columns are my opinions, and mine alone, but I have never liked Herman Cain.  Of all the current runners, I think Cain is the worst.  Now that Ginger White has joined the rest of his accusers, I hope we have heard the last of Herman Cain.  For some reason, the Tea […]

  To watch the London riots on TV, was shocking to me.  The “bobbies” (London police) had no guns!  They had little round shields, and a few dogs against hundreds and maybe even thousands of mostly black rioters, who succeeded in burning an entire neighborhood over a three day period.  They were breaking into homes, […]

  Two dollars million a minute?  That’s the amount the United States of America goes into debt every minute.  $2 million a minute.  This means that the D.C.Gang spends $2 million a minute more than it takes in.  Just think of it!  $2 million a minute further in debt, 24 hours a day, 365 days […]

  October 21, 1844, was the day which William Miller finally decided that the world would end.  He had several other dates, but finally decided on October 21st, after much prayer, and figuring.  Miller had a lot of followers, who were excited about the coming destruction of evil, and transporting of true Christians (Millers followers) […]
