REMEMBER!  These columns are my opinions only.   I think every word I write is true, or I wouldn’t write them.  So with that warning, let me tell you my opinion about a matter that affects hundreds of thousands of unfortunate homeowners who are in foreclosure.  I’m not, and I’m sure you the reader aren’t […]

  I read lot, and read fast.  40-50 books a year.  Not novels, but history, railroads, architecture, economics, politics, etc.  I love reading!  Sarah Palin’s new book, “Going Rogue” is on the best seller lists.  It’s a big hit, and I know why. I liked her instantly when she gave that speech accepting the nomination.  […]

  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 […]

  The copyright date is 1961, when James Dines wrote “The Invisible Crash.”  It is an excellent book, even 48 years later.  On page 16, he wrote the following words:  “A truth of financial reality is that any prosperity built on paper has usually been fun for a while, but has always ended in catastrophe.  […]

  Not particularly popular, but often the subject is mentioned, so I will elaborate on them. “Bags,” are 56 pound bags of 90% US silver coins, be they dimes, quarters, or halves.  They contain one thousand dollars face of these coins.  Not mixed coins, but all dimes, all quarters, or all halves.  There are half […]

  Richard Russell has been writing his Dow Theory Letters for many decades.  Russell is in his 80’s, and still sharp as a tack.  He’s really upset with what’s going on now also.  Here’s a quote from a recent letter. “Obama just doesn’t get it.  On the front page of today’s New York Times, there’s […]
