The Dictionary defines a fad as: “..passing fashion, or a craze.”  What’s the latest fad?  It’s EARTH WARMING!  It’s all the buzz around the news programs, Copenhagen, National Geographic even, and all of the ’approved’ scientific circles.  The earth is warming, and carbon dioxide is killing us.  We’ve got to stop burning coal, pass […]

  What is that?  The 17th Amendment to our Constitution was voted upon and ratified in that magic year of 1913.  1913 is the year the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment were passed.  The 16th, of course, is the income tax Amendment, which was never legally ratified, although the Supremes say it was.

  What is?  Washington D.C., that’s what.  Just think about Obama’s speech, as a classic example, or for that matter, his and the George Bush entire four year term.  Might as well throw in senior Bush, Carter, LBJ and back to JFK for that matter, because JFK was probably the best we have had since […]

  You have to be pretty old to remember SNAFU.  Like me, maybe.  SNAFU was a WW II term, which meant “Situation normal, all F***ed up.”  Pretty accurate description of what’s going on now, isn’t it?  With the tungsten 400 oz gold bars, as an example.  There are a lot of them out there, and […]

  Away back in 1977, when I first began brokering precious metals, I sold some gold to Charles Goyette.  His first gold, he informs me.  He’s a tall (6’4″) handsome guy with a great deep voice, which I wish I had.  He was smart, quick, and knew about the ultimate dollar meltdown.  He was also […]
