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 […]
Let’s knockout the Dems, right? Go to it, but this “Knockout” is about a book, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Democrats. It is about something we all need to know about, and how to fix, keep from getting, or get rid of, if one has it. The subject is CANCER. […]

This was written by my son David Recently, a study was done which showed that Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, by a 4 to 1 margin. I suspect it’s been about that for decades, but the more I thought about it, the more aggravated I became. Why? because, even though 80% of […]
Why do I write these? I guess because I think I have something important to say, and I am not a well known writer, even though tens of thousands read each column. To sell gold and silver? Only indirectly. If thousands are intelligent enough to read my stuff, and realize that it is not […]
I’ll write a column. Just walked in the door after traveling probably 13,000 miles and cruising over 4,000 miles. We were in Barcelona, Monaco, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Naples, Pompeii, Ephesus, Istanbul, and Venice, and took tours in all of them. Yesterday, we flew from Venice to Denver, and were in the air for close […]
Obama and his ’progressives’ may have destroyed America or the economy in the next two weeks, but I won’t be here. We’re leaving at 6 AM Wednesday morning (9/23) for Barcelona Spain, where we will board the Ruby Princess for a 12 day cruise around the Mediterranean. While I am gone, Melissa and David […]
