  • Re: Buying precious metals on a budget - advice, please?

    I have recently used American Precious Metals exchange. www.apmex.com Here is why I settled there: 1. Low premium over spot. 2.

  • Hyperinflation, when can we expect it?

    Examples abound of fiat currencies becoming worthless in a matter of months, weeks or days, prices spriraling out of control from one hour to the next near the end as everyone rushes to get rid of what they can while they can.

  • The Problem with Voters

    On the news I hear way too many comments about politicians insulting one another (mudslinging), digging up old facts about their opponents' personal history, etc. Reporters make a big deal out of it, like it's some sort of reality show. "Who said what? Who insulted who? Who used to smoke...
