    • The $64 Trillion Question: What's the Dollar Really Worth? [view article]
      It is not just the large banks of Europe buying $$, Brazil jumped into buying $$, as many as their central bank could afford for over 3 months now. Not sure what they were doing, as now they are starting to sweat along with all the others. With regards to military, we have half the fleet spread between Black sea and the middle East. Three carrier groups and soon there will be four near next door to my station. And there are other countries adding their sail boats to the mix as well. Sep 06 12:36 PM
    • Gold Equities Are Oversold - TD Newcrest [view article]
      article short and sweet but true. Suggest reading "Gold Futures Dirty Secret". glad you supplied the link. Many more articles discussing the same crap that the so called "regulators" are doing with silver can be found under the blog site "Silver Bear Cafe". Banks getting away with murder and the government turns a blind eye. So much so it only proves once again the Fed has no clothes. Sep 06 04:41 AM
    • 2 Top Energy Sector Bets [view article]
      Check out France, we laugh at them but they have doing with Nuclear what we only dream of. While we been sitting on our rumps for the last 30 years they been making progress in clean efficient power. But before one invest in nuclear might take a look at how long it takes to get a new system built and on line. In our country with present attitude, we will still be smoking coal in the next 30 years. Sep 04 12:35 PM
    • No Renewed Bull Phase for Metals Miners Just Yet [view article]
      Old news and it has happened before. US suspended gold eagle sales for the rest of the year and cut way back on the silver eagle program. May not mean much. Still can not see buying into a PE of 40 or there abouts with low EPS and such. But there are some companies out there worth their salt (silver and gold). And Energy well it will always be needed and it will always be available but at what price. I hear a double bottom, I hear inverted head and shoulders. I also hear that the banks are really screwed but not as much as we since they going to save them on our backs. Consolidation point...well check them out and buy the good and wait. I am an investment person and not a trader.....so when down I buy and I do think gold and silver are in a place one can make some money down the road. Hell it is August and what is August for most years. Time to buy Aug 20 01:34 PM
    • Time To Gradually Reaccumulate Energy Stocks - And Gold [view article]
      Understand your caution in your report. If a stock has excellent fundelmentals I hung onto them. Most of mine have as I have massaged it through. Of course I am an investor as you stated and not a trader. Anyone that can not see the handwritting on the wall regarding energy is nuts. Energy consumption is only going to go up! Regardless of whether one believes in "peak oil" or speculation going rampant or oil companies hiding millions of barrels or what have you. Energy use in the world is going to go up! Energy reserves will go down until more is found and as some say at what cost. Buy energy when the everyone is stampeding for the exits (when they are down). The banks have a long way to go before they have fleeced the average citizen to death to save their lousy skin. And then of course they will go up. But they still have lots of losses to come. Anyway your article was good and it was mild enough for the new guy. Don't forget that Dubia UAE and Saudia alone have about 2 trillion $ worth of construction either on going or in the works. Watch the Middle East where I hang out. If I see another ad on India I am going to rupture. Watch the Middle East and see the money they are expending. And then watch and see if their cartel does go through with their threat to form their own currancy. Then you gonna see some real smoke, and the smoke and mirrors of the fed ain't going to cover that one up not even on the backs of Americans. Happy investing Aug 19 01:37 PM
    • Darrell Brookstein on Gold: Just a Pullback in a Bull Market [view article]
      Does anyone see AXU falling into place here with their Yukon property. Attempting to find out more on their financial health. In regards to previous comments. Always the historical battle between the lords of fiat currency and control and the believers in honest money. Our forefathers fought it and won for a time, then we let the internationals control. Now we have what we have.....the battle rages anew. Sigh....
      so we continue to bail out the internationals and their ponzy lackys. And we do it on the backs of the average American citizen. As for me, gold and silver.       Aug 19 02:49 AM
    • Alexco Accelerating to a Production Decision at Keno Hill [view article]
      Today 18 Aug 08, AXU looks more like a buy then anything. This is traditionally worse month for metals. Despite global economy and the US$ looking better against the other fiat currency. AXU is promising. Aug 18 02:34 AM
    • Four Best Global Deals on Uranium [view article]
      And how long does it take to get all of these new reactors on line? Until then......much better plays out there then uranium. Aug 17 11:39 PM
    • The International Gold Rush: Bulls May Soon Be Rewarded [view article]
      Yes BrunoT, I have to agree plus add a few other figures that drive the market as well. The official CPI is humm around 4.5% but prior to 1980, when we add in things like food and fuel and taxes we have a nice 11.5% CPI. Changes so they didn't have to up the Social insecurity system payouts. And lets look at the unemployment figures. U-3 a nice 5.5% they tell us. Well they are keeping book on U-6 which they don't publish which is 9.7% and now lets add in for all those poor folk who are no longer counted at all....those out of work for over a year and whoooo you get 13.7% The GDP is negative not positive if you take into account all those lost figures. Consumer confidence down from 105.3 to 50.4 the lowest in 16 years. Smoke and mirrors. Oh me oh my. And then on top of all that good news the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Omar, Qatar and the UAE) are looking at starting their own currancy. Watch out Euro. What $$$??? And sooner or later someone is going to pull another trigger (Iran, Africa, Israel....) and the good ole USA is going to go for broke. Some one smell something burning? Rome? The Fed? See you in September as the song goes. Jul 30 10:28 AM
    • Sean Rakhimov: 3-Digit Silver Ahead [view article]
      This article gave me the desire to purchase more. Of course being very fond of silver (and gold) but love the silver. I must see if I have any more of those old paper federal reserve notes laying around depreciating to nothing. Some good buys in this bunch. Jul 25 02:37 PM
    • Alexco: Interesting Emerging Silver Producer [view article]
      Clavis, I appreciate the extra information. Read every thing Mike Niehuser had to say went back on previous Seeking Alpha. Another reason I like this forum. Thank you! Alexco does indeed look good. Very nice properties. Jul 25 02:21 PM
    • Alexco: Interesting Emerging Silver Producer [view article]
      Silver and Gold and remediation of old mines......The best of both worlds in a changing world. It needs more research into this company as it does interest me. Next time a little more information. But research is the name of the game to stay on top. Jul 25 01:15 AM
    • Canadian National: The Best Railroad for This Recession [view article]
      I have some CNI and plan on holding for the long haul. Of course Canada has other good stocks out there. The price of socialism has already been figured in so their stocks will remain stable when the US stocks will go to hell once the ballots are in here. Australlia and Chila are good too. Brazil was doing good but buying up all the US dollars they can will kill their wind. But CNI is a great company and I believe it is a long term hold. It drops buy some more Jul 23 12:19 PM
    • A Primer in Mining Equity Investment [view article]
      Being a hard core gold bug and silver bug, my take is the same as Jake2. Besides having physical possession of the stuff, I like the miners too. Safer then the ETF's in my opinion once the left takes total control of the government. We have yet to see the total tax and spend. Ex-pats including those of us in the combat zones are now being taxed on everything. Speaker of the house wants to tax all savings and IRA' and 401Ks etc etc. To make everyone equal she says. And Osama wants to create a tax to put a few billion into Africa and then of course take care of the descendents of the slaves forever, sooo to make a long winded story short, they be getting around to the gold and silver ETF's in nothing short. Horders will be criminals etc etc. So the mining stocks is where to be if you are holding anything public. But back to Jake2's comments, there is no meat here for me to sink my teeth into. What about the intermediates? What juniors have the best batting averages? ABX is buying up energy sources and others are looking to do the same for the future. Could this have an impact on making some of the majors a BHP of the future? Lots of good stuff out there just need something to hang my hat on. Jul 23 12:11 PM
