Book Review: What Has Government Done to Our Money and The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar

Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.'


Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'


The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead.'


A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead horse?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

Chuck grew up and works now for the government. He was the one who figured out how to 'bail us out'.

9 Cures for Gold Fever

Im sorry but your article is silly and you contradicted your own points numerous times.

Gold will not buy happiness but it will pay for alot of grief.

Why I'm Selling Gold

I believe in the short term that the price of Gold will pull back to around the 850/oz level. The BRIC countries are trying their best to prop up the value of the dollar because they are so heavily invested in the dollar. They will gradually move their assets away from the dollar in a way that wont spook the currency markets. This will take time. Eventually the price of gold and silver will move much higher. I wish I knew exactly when.

Physical gold and silver are pretty much the only hard asset investments I feel comfortable buying right now. I dont even really care what the price of gold or silver is, I just want to insure and preserve my wealth.

Gold will not solve your problems, but it will pay for alot of grief.

Even Insurance Companies Are Buying Gold

Good Article. I am long gold also.

Rising Silver: Four Ways to Play

A great silver bullion investment is pre 1965 Washington Quarters, which are 90% silver. The premium over spot price is about 99 cents per ounce. You can also get dimes or halves that are 90% silver. The best physical bullion investment because they are practically impossible to counterfeit.

Be advised! The 1000 ounce silver bars may be difficult to sell quickly if you needed to because some dealers are wary about them. There is no way of knowing if they are pure silver unless you cut them in half.

Finally, Another Addition to Gold ETF Inventory

There is nothing suspicious about the markets. It's quite simple, the FED is printing massive amounts of fiat dollars and giving them to their buddies that run the banks. Their buddies at the banks are taking that free money from the FED and buying up US stocks causing the markets to go up...thus giving the American public and the rest of the world the feeling the worst is behind us. They are trying to get all of the sidelined cash into the markets before they sell off again at huge profits. The smaller investors will be burned. The next market drop will then cause a massive flight back into the dollar (Safe Haven). Repeat as necessary to raise capital and stave off inflation while interest rates are low.

Thats what all the Swine Flu and Nuclear war threats are all about lately. The US governent and FED are doing a propaganda dance and balancing act. It's actually quite brilliant when you really think about it.

Just buy some physical gold/silver (15-25% portfolio) and keep the rest in fixed US dollar assets and wait 6 months. Better investment opportunities are coming. Dont panic, the world is not going to end anytime soon.

Step Back and Take a Big Picture Look at the U.S. Dollar

Freya,

You bashed my comment in another article for suggesting investors be cautious about investing in Gold miner stocks because the stock matrket is manipulated and now your bashing the author for recommending precious metals investments due to dollar debasement?

What do you recommend people invest their money in?

Gold Stocks Look Cheap - BMO

Freya,

Your missed my point completely. I too am bullish on Gold. Read my comment...I am referring to the price of gold miner stocks..not the price of gold. Buying physical gold bullion is a better investment in my opinion. The gold miners carry far more downside risk because many of them are heavily in debt and are poorly managed.

I think Gold will touch $1200 range sometime in 2010. But I am fair minded enough to not be investing all of my hard earned money in precious metals, stockpiling ammunition, and forecasting total collapse of the dollar like you and your fanatical gold buddies.

And yes, I consider it to be market manipulation when the US government is investing US citizens tax dollars in the stock market.

Gold Stocks Look Cheap - BMO

I would not buy any gold stock you listed in your article. Gold stocks dont necessarily go up just because the price of gold does. There are many other factors to consider when investing in gold miners that the average investor can't understand.

There is so much stock market manipulation going on by the elite class and the corruption of politicians is absolutely sickening. The average investor can not and should not trust the American stock market regardless of what the talking heads say on CNBC or what "Analysts" pumping stocks for their own personal gain say!

Why We Have to Keep China Happy

We dont need to keep China happy. We need to stop spending so much money! What a mess!

As the Dollar Continues to Collapse, Where Will You Put Your Money?

The dollar is not going to "collapse". I do believe the value of the dollar will degrade over time, but many authors are using the words "collapse" and "worthless" in describing the dollar a little too loosely.

I think a modest allocation of your portfolio in physical gold and silver of say 15% minimum and 25% maximum is a good strategy. Keep the rest in cash and wait and see what happens in the next six months. Too much uncertainty right now in the markets and government decisions. The manipulation of every market thinkable is rampant. The politicians are totally corrupted by greed and power.

This whole country, from the politicians to the American sheeple themselves, has become a complete disaster.

Good luck to all!
