  • U.S. Debt Default, Dollar Collapse Altogether Likely [View article]
    The Government will not confiscate gold. Since the dollar in 1933 was backed by gold, the Government confiscated it so they could print as much money as needed to shore up both the banking system and the economy. 99% of the population owned gold in 1933, they carried it in their pockets, and they carried it in their purses. Now, in 2009, less than 1% of the U.S population own gold. Thus, it would not be worth the Government’s time to confiscate it.

  • How Wall Street Has Failed the Individual Investor [View article]
    The financial services industry DID fail us. Do NOT trust your money with these crooks. Do your own homework – even if takes you hundreds of hours to learn how to invest. Otherwise, they will rob you again at the next opportunity.

  • Gold Even More Attractive as Cash Yields Approach 0% [View article]
    Sleep better at night, consider buying some gold. It was one of the few assets to earn a positive rate of return in 2008.

  • Gold - Not the Safe Haven People Think it Is  [View article]
    I would not want to be without gold during the coming turbulent years. Gold is still real money around the world. Gold will still buy today what it did 100 years ago.

    Not true. Gold went up 70+ percent in the 1930's.

  • Bear Market: 1930s All Over Again? [View article]
    Good article, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the DOW fall another 50% over the next couple of years with bear rallies in between.

  • Gold Coins Are in Short Supply, So Why Doesn't Their Price Rise? [View article]
    The Government will not confiscate gold, and I’ll tell you why. Since the dollar in 1933 was backed by gold, the Government confiscated it so they could print as much money as needed to shore up both the banking system and the economy. 99% of the population owned gold in 1933, they carried it in their pockets, and they carried it in their purses. Now, in 2008, less than 1% of the U.S population own gold. Thus, it would not be worth the Government’s time to confiscate it. There is no reason to scare the public into buying non-confiscateable gold, i.e., pre-1933 gold coins. Also, who is to say that they won’t confiscate pre-1933 gold coins this time around? Consider buying gold to protect your wealth due to either inflation or deflation. Gold has been, and will always be, real money. Thank you.
