Prepare Now For The Looming Fiscal Cliff [View article]
All the money I get back from the NGM's via SS and any other bennie I get, I PAID FOR WITH BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS!!!
Likely is, I will not get anywhere near back what I put in, as the NGM's steal it in their joint ponzi schemes of extracting money from Americans any way they can, forcing things upon us that they will not accept for them selves such as the medical debacle.
GIVE? G I V E?!?
Boy, and you wonder why...
Never mind, my heart is screaming inside, and again, no one is listening.
Go ahead, trumpet Obama's cause, because I can guarantee you it is not and will not be the founding fathers idea of a free country and freedom.
He is going to take us right back to Europe.
Damned takers have found out how to legally raid the public treasury and you think it is cute.
Fwd PS,, I AM THE MIDDLE CLASS AND NO ONE HAS EVER GIVEN ME A DURNED CENT. WHAT I HAVE LEFT FROM WHAT I EARNED IS NOT A GIFT FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
PLEASE PUT ME ON THE LIST FOR FREE MONEY DUE TO THE FACT I AM IN THE MIDDLE CLASS.
I will wait for the free money and hold my breath waiting, just look for 'Blue Boy' when you get to my door with the money I am getting as a gift.
So stupid there is nothing to compare us to. We have met the enemy and he is us.
Go ahead, vote for Obama. NOT ME!

3 Key Metrics That Show Why We Can't Avoid Recession [View article]
Business cannot be legislated and a poor company cannot be made profitable by giving it money, paying its bills and calling it solvent. It is a loser and should be shut down, reorganized and run properly. Or go away, and let another entrepreneur have a go at it. Our fiscal policy flat stinks and the FED is a kingdom of itself. I can't see why good hard working Americans allow this bogus system to continue, and ignore the Constitution. In any case, the Author is correct and this commenter is wrong.

Watch for my article in Market Outlook, if they publish it. It has been submitted an hour ago.

I think you miss the reality that it is an inflation hedge, and buddy, we got inflation bearing down on us like a run-a-way steam locomotive.
Good thoughts, but I feel not complete.

Coming Soon: Banking Crisis of Historic Proportions [View article]
There is a way out of this mess because people do not want bad times, they do not want to 'hunker down', and protect their homes, lives, and food in the house. We don't want to have to fight for anything anymore, we have already fought and died for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and it is being ripped from our grasp. We are grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory, and we are allowing it to happen. Go ahead, ask me, is there a quick way out of this mess? YES YES YES, THERE IS!!! But seems no one in charge cares about anything but their own situation. Obamma rented a multi-million dollar estate for a vacation, while millions are living out of their homes. What is wrong with this picture. Socialism and facism for all but our leaders. They jam things down our throats and take other medicine for themselves in the form of raises and medical plans that we cannot have.
Go ahead voters, you have one chance left to save this country on the edge of the abyss, and that is the election coming up, unless you can find some legal way to change the people in Wash. D.C. quicker.
Woe is us, we have met the enemy and he is us.

Silver One Year After The Peak: On The Brink Of The Next Big Move [View article]
I say, to Quote Goldline, http://goldprice.org
Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.
LOL< well his comments defy logic, and he is rarely right, but I love reading his humorous log, and you may too. This is NOT an ad for him, because he is usually wrong. His conclusions are simply no better than my tea leaves or any other human who has no idea what is coming any more than the bus driver or taxi maid. NOTE: "You cannot change the what is coming." You may quote me. Any thinking you can step in and change things is egotistic.
I go on the long term fundamentals, and as far as I can tell, the powers that be are attempting to save the E$ while they exit into gold and other PM's [precious metals].
I understand money, it is simple, spend less than you have coming in, and if you don't you will be bankrupt sooner or later. If you are a government, the only way to make your erroneous ways work [for a while] is inflation, and that also plays in to my hands.

Rio Tinto: Commodity Prices Could Drop to New Lows [View article]
I think, that most commodities, that are food related, or financial (precious metals) related will do very well in the coming time, both short and long term. If you can use it to trade, barter, purchase, goods and or services you need for survival, then that commodity will do well. If you are talking iron, copper, and the like, I feel that even with the growth of the BRIC block nations, the base commodities will NOT do well, as the world is sinking into a new and different economic picture. One of need fulfillment, not want fulfillment.
I think the time of Americans or any others, [save for a few who have planned for this nightmarish world] will simply be fighting for survival. Somehow we got stupid. Forgot about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...[I remember and it is my driving force].
My pursuit was to travel the world, learn languages, and be happy. So far, I have done that by planning, saving, and focusing on the prizes. Of late, I have gone more to a defensive mode, trying to save even more in case Social Security or other items I have paid for are taken away for whatever reason. I am more focused on being more self sufficient, holding expendables longer, [automobiles, tools, TV's and computers,] not upgrading as often or even at all.
I am totally afraid of our government, and see a terrific threat to all from many angles, Islam, our own politicians and a few other lesser etc's.
But, for all of those reasons,and others, I say, demand will falter, except for necessities, and those few who can afford the resorts, the general population of the world is going into the financial dark ages, and wise owls will prepare and not tell anyone where the freeze dried food, and water filters are.

PS Buy silver, gold, palladium, and platinum,(in that order)
Until that time buy (I have) NLY HTS and (PSEC), for the PM's buy (SIVR, PAL), PALL, and keep it tight. Good luck
Taking an Honest Look at GDP Calculation [View article]
Does this mean I can spend my way out of financial trouble, borrow more and more to pay for the debt I have incurred and never worry about paying it back.
Truth of it is, that could happen to an individual for a while then go bankrupt, well it is no different for a government. They will go bankrupt too no matter how much they borrow, tax or print. The horrible day for Americans is moving closer and closer. Our enemies must be laughing at us and waiting for us to finally self distruct.
Gird your loins, put some real money away, this thing is not in recovery, nor are we seeing green shoots, rather weeds.

Prepare To Short Gold [View article]
Drugs, smoking, sex, eating, sports, cars, iphones, some technical knowledge regarding computers, soap operas, fast cars, BEER, alcohol of EVERY kind, restaurant reviews, and Dr. Phil. Opra winwhat's 'er name. With 47% of our population getting welfare they know how to figure that welfare is better income than working I assume they don't have a lot of bux to buy gold. I probably left out a few other major things, but I am getting tired of this mini-tirade.
The great unwashed crowd will not read this article nor comment, nor buy gold. Their investment is in social programs, and children. Gold is not in their future, its in their teeth, neck, (rarely 24 karat) and in conversation, they can tell you more than the scientists know.
In addition, this author, I think is about as 'with it' as the general public. Gold, and silver, and soon, platinum and palladium, will become money. Our dollar has not yet begun to drop, but unless you are like a turtle whose head only comes out after the action is over, you have to see the relationship with gold and time. Oh, you can add in any comparisons you want, and you still get higher and higher PM's. (precious metals)
I look at the price of gold and silver, and all I see is a constant march upward and with fits and starts along the way. Let's say, just for argument, the author is right, and all the commenters are wrong. Then why is gold going up? I bought a nice van from Chevrolet in 1982 and it was a loaded one, and cost 11,200 out the door. A month ago I signed papers for a similar vehicle, for $41,200.00 What caused the price increase? I have no clue, it certainly wasn't inflation. Perhaps it was due to how many fruit flies were caught and studied in California. I, actually, could give a good rats damn why the prices of vans and milk and gold is going up. All I know is when I buy some gold today, put it in the drawer, and when I need to buy something, I pull out some gold and it buys about the same amount of goods it would a while back. During the same time period, keeping dollars in a drawer next to the gold, the dollars will not buy the same product for the same price as they did a while back, but gold will. What do you call that? Okay, let's call it magic. NOT inflation or a new cost of living. Do you care what did it? What the ratio is, or the comparison to how much pineapples cost in Yemen? I sure don't. All I know is my dollars are not doing well sittin' in a safety deposit box but my PM's sure have me grinnin'. I have been buyin' metals of different kinds for over 20 years, and am quite happy. I am now actually accumulating copper coins, (new ones, one ounce ones) as I can see nice shiny coppers being traded for money. (Oh, you say I'm nutzo? Check in ur pocket, any pennies in there?
Gold is money, inflation causes everything to go up in value, except the fiat currency we trade in. AND fiat currencies aren't goin' away, just their value is goin' down.
Watch out for too many numbers, charts, correlations, and especially EXPERTS WITH A BAG OF PAPERS AND NUMBERS.

Voluntary Exile: Equity Liquidation Is A Self-Inflicted Mistake [View article]
In any case, I am steering my own ship, and taking my losses with gains, and slowly seeing my net worth grow. I am now retired and will attempt to glean a meager return without touching my main stash.
I suspect, that the NGM's will notice my holdings, and attempt to take as much as they can, and give me back from SS as little as possible.
I just cannot figure out how I can earn money, pay taxes, on earnings, give some to the government to hold for me, and when I get it back, (without interest), pay taxes on it again.
If I were president, that is the first thing that would go.
Damn, I feel violated, and this article wants more of my money, well, you ain't gonna get it, I can lose it without your help.
