I’m damned sick of China and all that goes with it, including the covid epidemic, which originated in Wuhan China, either accidently or on purpose. I have been urging everyone for years, to not buy anything made in China, and now of course Vietnam, which is also communist. Just think about it. Does China have […]
I wonder how many languages and dialects there are? How many countries and nations, with different landscapes, elevations, rain fall, deserts, rulers, tyrants, dictatorships, and races there are? Too many to elaborate on, I am certain, but I’ve been thinking of late, and to me anyway, I have two main loves outside of physical relationships […]
I write this quickly, since until I found a way to get on the internet, I was lost. My internet supplier has cut me off till he gets his fiber-optic cable run into my house, and he says it may take till July 2nd. However, due to the genius of my son-in-law, I am on […]
Today is “FLAG DAY.” Please fly your flag and be proud to be an American! I admit it. I read the Journal (Wall Street) pretty thoroughly, and I don’t own a share of stock. Why? Because it is factual, well researched, conservative, and covers everything I need to know about current goings on, both in America […]
Yesterday, June 6th, was the 77th anniversary of the largest amphibious landing in history. “D Day” June 6th, 1944, when the Allies landed at Normandy France to turn the tide of WW II. Over 22,000 died in the next few days after that landing, and thousands of well cared for graves are all along thew […]
(5/4/2002- 19 years ago) I can still think and write, but I am placing all my old columns in bound volumes, and I keep running across good ones, and will repeat them as I see fit. “In the field of economics, there are many facets. It isn’t just buying and selling gold and silver. It’s […]
2/13/2008 (13 years ago!) “Vallars” are a historical fact. In 1931, after the stock market had crashed and everyone was broke, depressed, and Roosevelt hadn’t been elected with his million promises (none of which worked), frantic people in Salt Lake City began printing “vallars.” Townspeople banded together and created a group which they called the […]
This is a column I wrote in July, 2008, 13 years ago, and it needs to be said again. “On July 4th, everyone plays patriotic music, and it is one of my favorite holidays. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir always does a wonderful program of patriotic songs, and usually a drama of some sort. And then […]
A client of one of my kids e-mailed me and said that I should write a column about which gold and silver to buy and what about numismatics? Here goes. The ‘Spot price’ of anything is the price the manufacturer has to pay for raw materials, and in the case of gold and silver, […]
It’s all so common. People might say, as an example: “I bought gold @ $900, and now look! It’s $1900! I’ve made a thousand dollars an ounce.” True, you have made $1,000 an ounce, but is that profit more truthful or useful in value? Or have you made a profit of $1,000 an ounce in […]
