Thanks for the article. We share the same strategy: "My own approach is to acquire bullion for security, and to trade the miners for the bulk of my "paper profits". " A previous article that you wrote gave me sufficient reason to sell off all my SLV shares at a peak and pick up many more shares of SLW on the silver pullback last week. This has given OUTSTANDING results. Thanks! What is your answer to the secure storage of physical assets?]]>

Wealth was just a byproduct of his incredible inventions; it was never his goal."

Nicola Tesla might have had something to say regarding this. Edison was more tenacious than he was smart. When Edison's Direct Current light bulbs, generators and transmission systems were shown to be inferior to Tesla's brilliant AC systems, Edison first hired him (which didn't last long) and then worked financial angles to get Tesla's funding cut off. In all of this I am not faulting Edison -- it was just business. But that's the point here. Remove the halo and wings from your portrait of Edison and you'll be much closer to the truth.]]>

Five Ways This Bubble May End http://seekingalpha.com/article/131737-five-ways-this-bubble-may-end?source=feed#comment-469808 469808 "I have spoken with several people over the last few weeks that typically do not play the market. My consensus is from what i'm hearing is that they want in now."

Folks, you will never find a more concise definition of a Bubble than this. As we said 2 years ago, "when the ladies in the church choir are talking about flipping houses, it's time to get out fast!"

Really?!! Please explain how those of us who have been living debt-free or with very low debt are responsible for this and why we should pay for the highly-predictable, widespread destruction of idiotic entitlement programs like the CRA?

Seriously, Abdul -- explain.
