The whole world is in a hole.  Too many people on the planet; too much money in single hands and the numbers go on.  How to make money in this climate; gold I dare say.  The Jews always had it and see where they are?  Not that I am a racist, but they have survived through centuries by placing their holdings in gold.  I...more

Yes, Jim I am looking.  I have money in the emerging markets and I dare say they are looking good.   Can't complain; I also bought gold six years ago and I am glad I did.  I am on gmail, so if you want to send me the email address of President Obama, youcan send it to laszlerdosy at gmail dot com.   You know ho...more

Yes Bill, Mongolia has vast resources untapped ready for this hungry market.  My portfolio is app. 30% into energy and materials.  I also invested in gold six years ago and I am not looking back.   I am glad I read your postings over the years, especially those about the yellow stuff.  I am looking to lock in my ga...more

Yes, Liz, making a large down-payment makes sense.  It reduces the total amount to be paid.  Lowering the mortgage length to 10 years can save thousands of dollars too.  It is well worth investigating.

I sunk $48,000 in it about five or so years ago and I haven't looked back.  I know gold isn't foolproof, but the fact is that jews have been hold...more

The US debt ceiling is a joke.  Every time the President, or Congress decide to raise the limit Uncle Sam can borrow.  There is no limit as such.   With all the bailouts of the automobile makers, banks and whomever else, the US has managed to borrow money from everyone.   When Japan lowered the interest rates t...more

Bill,   The commodity market is a wild one.   Central banks are doing their best to scare people off gold and silver, but these two are the basis for money all over the world.  When fiat currencies have run their course, they will vanish as empires have.  Think of the Roman Empire, Spanish Empire and many others to...more

Yes, Jim, the world weather is changing.  When Allen Bard made that famous film, "The Inconvenient Truth" a few years ago, forecasting that the ice fields in Greenland and Antarctica were going to melt because of excessive CO2 in the air, people scuffed.  Some even today claim that this is part of nature natural cycle,...more
