  • Pricing Gold and Silver as Money [View article]
    historically gold has been portable wealth for asian people, in times of calamity you can grab it & run.
    you wear it around your neck, your fingers, your wrist.
    if you own a ton of it it is no longer very portable.
    you have to pay someone to store it for you, and no interest is earned.
    your storage company has probably charged you a commission to buy it, and will hit you with another commission if you wish to sell.
    i don't think you can take it to your grocery store & buy a grocery with it.

  • The Impending Collapse of the Gold Bubble [View article]
    cutback on federal largesse to corporations ( corporate welfare) is necessary.
    tax increase is necessary.
    T party politicians are not interested in either.
    let;s study the parameters & come up with a solution.
    mr. boehner has his work cut out for him.

  • About Those CFTC Claims That Speculation Has Distorted Oil Prices [View article]
    prices come down when speculators are forced (by some external event) to liquidate their oveleveraged positions.
    for crude oil, the last external (altho related) event was the housing bubble poof.

  • If Crude Oil Is Plentiful, Why Are Prices Rising? [View article]
    hedging related to forward supplies for an entity that actually takes delivery of the product is legitimate, and has been done in the grain business for a long time.
    smart airlines hedge.
    hedging by speculators on wall st. who wouldn't know a barrel of oil if they saw one needs to be illegal, it is a mechanism for shafting consumers.

  • Oil: High Prices Should Not Deter Investors if Selling Puts [View article]
    yes the last meteoric rise was followed by the speculators having to liquidate their overleveraged posutions.
    when somebody yells fire in a crowded theater pretty soon the exit doors are not wide enough & some people get trampled.
