If you had a million dollars but were too old and too sick to earn more would you put it into a CD paying 1% interest? After fixed hard expenses (auto registration and insurance, etc, etc) you might have $5,000 a year to live on. Your previous income of 7 % was confiscated by Greenspan's free money policy and Bernanke's continuing same. This income was taken from you so that the pyramid could continue and you were the only source of hard cash. This was THEFT but legal. This is the power the federal reserve has over you--------and you know who the fed is beholden to. So there's nothing you can do with the million and don't talk stupid about stocks and such. Having said this, only those over 75 will understand my take.]]> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:13:23 -0500 You look like a man old enough to have some savings.

1. Your income stays the same but prices rise.
2. Prices don't rise but your fixed retirement income from savings plunges to .1 % due to Federal Reserve manipulation.]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:57:31 -0500

Buy a piece of land. Get permits and approved plans. Get a saw and hammer (plus 1,000 other items). Take time off and build it yourself. I mean ENTIRELY by yourself if it takes 4 years. Then stand back and admire your work. THEN, you will know what it's worth. Until then, you don't know 'nothing'. I did it and I know what it's worth-------priceless ! ]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 09:38:48 -0500

Hand made knives by well known artist. I bought a hand made knife by 'Randall' in Florida in 1959 for $25. Today that same knife is offered on Ebay for $1,500. So the tax free compounded return over 50 years has been 8.5% annually. An ounce of gold would be $1,091 to match that (starting from 1967 I believe).]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 09:16:31 -0500
