About the best I can do with that info is to sift through the comments to see what he makes of all those numbers and charts.

Yep, AG, those gorgeous legs go ALLLL the way up!  lol
 

“Call … I like rice, and you like bread.”
 
Some Chinese like bread too… usually in bagel form.  Farmers in the Pacific NW, where I live, sell several million tons of hard red wheat to the Chinese for making […]

“ The Chinese are smart folks, with a 1,000 year old perspective.”
 
A co-worked, who emigrated to the US from China in the 1980s, once told me that to deal successfully with China, the US should remember that […]

“Where else but in manufacturing, can a young person without a college education ever even hope to be paid enough money to buy (AND pay for) a house and support a family?”
 
In VERY few places, unfortunately. […]

Detroit is a classic example of what happens to a public entity when it is run by bozos who have no understanding of money whatsoever.  Whoever has been in charge of this city SHOULD have been saying NO! to the […]

Indeed so… and that plan works really well with an UNARMED populace.

Interesting that you would bring up “Brown’s Bottom”, Pat.  Seeing as to how the USA and the UK are pretty much joined at the hip… and maybe even BOTH hips, lol, one can only wonder what the USA was doing with […]

“The mere fact of all this printing around the world is proof enough that the economies are dead and this parlor trick of artificial muscle stimulation to make the cadaver appear to be alive can only last until […]

Exactly.  Anyone else who can do a better job is free to demonstrate that on their own web site.
 
While I do not necessarily agree with the Barnhardt quote, I respect her right to say it as many times as she […]

They also need a scientifically correct sampling and analysis of an appropriate number of randomly selected bars to avoid the “yes, it is all here” reply when most of it actually could be gold-dipped tungsten.

Take a look at the silver price charts between about 1985 and 2000.  That’s about a 15 year period of time when silver prices drifted between about $5-8.  Meanwhile the stock market was up by what, 900%?  PMs are […]

Good thought, Pat.  Yes, it IS likely that they will pawn off GLD and SLV shares on the unwary and in much the same way as bank depositors receive worthless shares in a failing bank in exchange for their stolen […]

“I’m planning to lease my silver so as to leverage into Balinese tulip bulbs.”
 
Oh, man, have *I* got a deal for you!  Instead of doing that, how about we simply rehypothecate our houses.  Yes, that’s right. […]

One of the GREAT bad ideas in this day and age of Gov and Fed controlled markets is that they are efficient.  They are not.  In fact, they are FAR from it.  FREE markets tend to be efficient but we’ve dispensed […]

Eric…  I haven’t followed the figures for some time now but one would think that with 401Ks still growing, the average American’s participation in the stock market would be quite high.  I understand that […]

“Who will be prepared to pay (up front) what it costs to get some ounces out of the ground?”
 
Asians.   Only they will be looking for tons, not ounces.  ;-)

“I would find it intolerable to pay these over-prices involving VAT or high premiums.”
 
Considering just how in love Obama is with the European model for government, what makes anyone here think that a US VAT […]
