Paper silver is a lot lighter than the real stuff. Not difficult to move at all.

Andrew, I’m not sure why you think we’re all republicans or love the republican party around here. I bash Obama, I bash Bush, I bash all the puppets. I personally loathe both democrats and republicans, though I […]

I had read that the crash was caused by a reddit user, “bitcoinbillionaire”, giving away $13,000 worth of bit coins to reddit users yesterday. Mike Adams of Natural News called it a stress test by a central bank […]

I was thinking about that, and then I was wondering about the 5 oz. America the Beautiful coins (which I love and have all of).  That would tilt the ratio back towards sliver again because I’m assuming they’re not […]

Has anybody here read “A Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood? Scary read. Incredibly written, and incredibly relevant I believe.

**Spoiler Alert**

Basically a theocratic dictatorship is established where women […]

Awww, where’s Sterling?  Doesn’t he usually graze on popcorn while bond ratings drop?

That’s one drop in the bottom of the swimming pool.  What a joke.

I have a question – is NIRP deflationary?  Since our money is created out of thin air and loaned into existence at interest I understand that is inflationary – you’ll always need to create more to pay off the […]

My first job was Burger King in 1996.  I started at $4.25/hr.  Today, Massachusetts minimum wage is $8.00/hr.  That wage has actually has kept ahead of officially reported inflation … but doesn’t stand up so […]

Oh definitely!  My wife and I have been busy canning this summer and I’m buying any kind of food I can that store long term now ‘cuz obviously nothing’s getting cheaper with QEternity ’round the world.

That does sound a bit extreme … ly COOL!  I’m certainly not that far along, but I have no reason not to see something like that on a slightly smaller scale as one of my prep goals.

Thanks for the replies!  Obviously I understand that unlike paper silver, you can’t take delivery of the real thing from paper crude.  So if/when crude spikes, you will make boku fiat which you can use to purchase […]

“He states that the Fed is currently setting up the biggest crash in the stock and currency markets that the world has ever seen in the history of the world, but that people who are holding commodities like crude […]

I saw an article on ZeroHedge calling it QEternity.  I smiled when I saw that term.

Silver just paddled back up the waterfall real quick-like.

Over on ZeroHedge I read an article that talked about the latest round of QE, calling it QEternity.  I rather like that (the term, not the concept obviously).

Don’t worry that your dollars are now worthless—the government is here to help you with food stamps and FEMA camps.

MS does seem like it’s being set up to be destroyed.

Ben never really had control to begin with.  It’s asinine to think you can centrally manage an economy as big as the USA’s and not get unintended consequences wrapped around the economic axles … chaos theory […]

I had Kcast desktop running in the background.  As soon as I saw that vertical jump, I knew without even looking online that QE3 was announced.  A good day for silver & gold, a lousy day for the $USD!
