(I had an e-mail letter from a reader of a previous piece, who was outraged when I called dishonest Abe Lincoln one of our worst presidents. I e-mailed him chapter 11 of my book “Consequences,” which covers the wrongly titled “Civil War,” and Abe pretty well. If you would like a copy of it, request […]

Most of us have insurance. Auto insurance especially, since accidents do happen, and one can never predict when some nutty, pimple faced, testosterone soaked, teenage male will attempt to test GM’s differential gears with his hopped up V-8, and lose control of it. Most of us have hospitalization, some have life insurance, (I hope not […]

Of all the questions I am asked, practically on a daily basis, the most common one is, “When are prices of gold and silver going to go up?” It’s a logical question. After all, we gold and silver enthusiasts have been predicting a radical rise in paper money prices for precious metals for quite a […]

There are so many non sequiturs going around these days, that one can hardly tell fact from fiction. Take the trite expression “Developing Nations” which was coined by some liberal apologist from the United Nations, which name in itself is absurd. There is no “United” in the United Nations, but merely a conglomeration of savages, […]

I just completed a telephone survey of all the registered, approved, financial planners in my town. They have various degrees, diplomas, and certificates of achievement, which certifies them as experts in economics. They have all the answers. They know all…at least their certificates and diplomas say they do. They know a T-bill from a bond, […]

The picture below was taken on Sunday, June 3rd at Yankee Boy Basin, 40 miles from my home, in glorious Colorado. One can’t Jeep there in winters or even spring, because there is perhaps 50 feet of snow there. But now one can go there in a Jeep. Know where all the snow went? It […]

GOLD-EAGLE.com is read by millions. It is our forum for gold, silver, and stock trends, theories, graphs, estimates, plus assorted opinions and predictions. Wonderful web site, and thanks to its suppliers. Whether we are into stocks and bonds or not, we are all interested in gold, inflation, the value of paper instruments, and our eventual […]

Of course we all remember Dragnet, with Joe Friday telling everyone that he just wanted the facts. (If you are in the west and love old radio, LA 50,000 watt KNX radio, AM 1070, has old radio shows twice a night, at 9PM and 2AM Pacific time. I get it here in Colorado easily.) Here […]

As a precious metals broker for close to 24 years, I almost daily get questioned as to which precious metal is the most desirable, or prudent one in which to invest. Both have definite advantages, and both are wonderful. To have one’s surplus assets in a safe, accessible place, where they can be seen, touched, […]

We all wonder what would happen if certain things take place, just as we wonder what our life would be like if we had done so and so, married that gal we still think about occasionally, or had bought IBM 50 years ago. It is fun to imagine the world if Chamberlain hadn’t come back […]
