I’m sure I was in my teens, working in my dad’s drug store in Washington, D.C., when a nice insurance salesman came in and told me of a great buy his company had just publicized for young workers. No medical exam was needed—just assurance that I was healthy—and he offered me a $5,000 life insurance […]
The following, is what happens if instead of saving your surplus wealth in dollars, you save in gold and silver. Two purchases, five years apart, are what $100,000 would have bought in gold and silver, five and ten years ago. Gold and silver prices now, in the middle of February 2026, are what they would […]
We’re not Iran, which now has a 75% inflation rate, with people literally not being able to buy food. Endless printing of the Rial won’t help. It’s gone too far, and is out of control. Nickel Cokes and Hershey Bars, are the same Cokes and Hershey Bars today, as they were in 1933, only our […]
We’re all victims of ever increasing prices, (Trump’s dead wrong or lying as usual, when he says He’s kept prices down), which according to the dictionary of such, is called ‘inflation,’ and its cause is really quite simple, and it is, “an increase in the currency supply.” I have made it even simpler, when I […]
I wonder when Friday’s Journals go to bed. I wonder, because when I got up Friday, Jan 30th, I was surprised that Gold and Silver were crashing, and Friday’s Journal had a glowing report on how everyone was ever so happy about the metals being such a bright spot. The Journal obviously went to bed […]
I’m not at all happy with Donald Trump, and I think he’s killed any chance of keeping the Congress in Republican hands., come November. After telling everyone that he does what he does “Because of my own morality,” I am reminded of a phrase on a Turner Classic Movie about WW II, when John Wayne […]
It happened quite quickly, as inflation seems to happen here, but In Iran it happened so fast, that the populace was unable to purchase foods to stay alive, and it could be a preview of things which could happen anywhere. Even here, since it has already happened so slowly, that most Americans think it is […]
A common question asked of myself and my kids, is: “Do gold and silver pay any interest?” The answer is “No,” but that is a question, which means absolutely nothing. Does your computer pay interest? Does your bed or sofa pay any interest? Does your car pay interest? (If it isn’t paid for, you pay […]
Happy New Year people! This will be short, as the internet is chock full of dire warnings about a world-wide shortage of silver. I’ve checked every source I can about silver, and all I can find is that when a week ago Friday, silver reached $80 an ounce, a few huge banks found themselves short […]
I certainly hope not! However, signs extant in Ukraine alone, not to mention other hot spots around the world, make it is obvious, that two major nations have sided with each other. Both are communist, and both have decided they want to rule the world, together or separately. Putin and Xi, are buddies, and will […]
