Bernanke's Great Lie: The Gold Standard and the Great Depression

Jake: Thank you so much for this article! It needs to be absorbed! Some will, some won't. Those that don't are doomed to make the same mistakes, and as investors, are simply doomed!

I couldn't help thinking about the "20-20 test". You know, the one where in 1900 one could take a 20 dollar bill and purchased a fine suit and, with a 20 dollar gold piece, do likewise. Fast forward to today. Take a 20 dollar bill and see if you can find a decent pair of socks for the price, whereas a 20 dollar gold piece STILL buys you a fine suit!

Now, where should one put their money? In PHYSICAL Gold and silver, period!

Bernanke's Great Lie: The Gold Standard and the Great Depression

I agree with your comments to a point about the Dust Bowl, et al. However, to suggest that that makes things different this time, without identiying the fact that the EGB's (elitist greedy bastards) have already decimated the economy to a degree unimaginable in relationship to negatives of the past is just plain short sighted IMO.

Own Gold? Time to Fold

Thank you SWRichmond, Smarty Pants, and others for TRYING to ENLIGHTEN our "friend" Alan. Frankly, I believe he wrote this article with tongue in cheek, with the CERTAINTY that he was going to get responses. he takes time (a sheer waste to be sure) to try to downplay the debacle we have as an economy, and trashing one of the KEYS to gaining wealth going forward-owning gold and silver--. Alan, you should be ASHAMED! You look like a nice boy!

Deleveraging Pushes the Dollar Up

SUPERB article! Spot on! Thank you for writing it! I only hope readers will take heed and RUN not walk to their nearest gold (and silver) source and stock up! After our government elitist greedy bastards DESTROY the almighty dollar, they will come after your gold and silver. If you haven't accumulated an appreciable amount, there will be nothing left to sustain oneself on, save for the gold and silver that has previoulsy been PHYSICALLY accumulated and stored in a safe (place). It should not have to be said, but just in case there may be a cave dweller who has recently emerged...don't put any gold, silver, or ANY VALUABLE items in a safety deposit box. That will be the FIRST place your government looks for booty! May God have mercy on us!

The Manipulation of Gold and Silver Prices

SUPERB article that ALL Americans need to read and understand. It may be the only way to exist in this secular progressive government WE have allowed to come to power. Taking back our government is another topic, but it bears action, too. Check out hermancain.com for a method to begin that process.

Posters, you all are illustrating good points!

Four Reasons for an Immediate Rise in Gold

Another SUPERB article!

Typical posts that elude to the writers' expertise-- or lack thereof--are in abundance...then there are the refreshing posts that have legitmate concerns. Then you we are subjected to CLH. Amen!

CLH: you are to be pitied. You have been a poster for a long time, and have had the benefit of sage articles and posters. No matter. You can't see the forrest because those tall things (called trees) are blocking your view. Your incessant ripping of any articles giving gold its due has long been dismssed by even the novice reader--since you know not of what you speak!

Presuming you have a family, or at least relatives, give them an opportunity to prosper in the future...enlighten them about owning gold. Call it community service!

De Graaf: Your premise is real, however, IMHO, I do no believe for an INSTANT that the Harry Reid, Nancy Peosi, Barney Frank, et al, and the Barack Obama light show will ALLOW deflation to exist. For you see, in an inflation-oriened world, they can do what the have done so EXPERTLY the past two years....STEAL YOU BLIND!

The Significance of Gold Backwardation

Jake2 you continue spreading this Bespoke stuff like its the word of God! What has you convinced it is so? Please provide a shred of evidence.

The End of the Dollar and All Fiat Currencies

Articles on this subject are appearing with more regularity of late on SA. That in and of itself is (or should be) a wake up call to those nay-sayers and non-believers in gold as a store of value. To us ENLIGHTENED, its "I told you so" time.

Hell, I am an American, I love this country (USA), gave 40 years of my life serving her. I would love for the $USD to be the strong currency it SHOULD be, but those GEB's (greedy elitist bastards) will NOT allow it to be. They rather DESTROY it just so they can fill their own pockets.

Those of you who can't get your arms (and minds) around the fact that the almighty dollar is going the way of ALL fiat currencies of past nations, just read history! If you still don't get it. My sympathy is waning. Just go away!

Profiting From Bernanke's Super-Fed and Obama's Newer Deal

TERRIFIC article! Thank you for having the COURAGE to write it!

By the end of the day there will be ENDLESS responses by totally IGNORANT and UNINFORMED posters ranting on their meaningless nay-saying views.

SWR: As usual, your comments have SUBSTANCE and VALUE!

Gold Due for a Pullback; Silver Approaching Resistance

Let's face it some posters KNOW when gold will TANK! The rest of us just wait to see what our illustrious government will do next (a la Franken for gov of Minn), and in the meantime, we just go out and buy PHYSICAL GOLD and SILVER...if we can find it!

Enlightening the Gold Bugs

In the immortal words of Gump: Stupid is as stupid does! So, buy dollars, save them, bank them. Me, I'll suffer a little longer with my two safes full of gold and silver bullion!

One of us is right!

Is the Second Great Depression Imminent?

Petersterling: I agree with your FIRST sentence!

What concerns me, and should concern others as well IMO, is WILL THIS ADMINISTRATION (OBAMA) seek out these available assets? I think NOT! Why? Because it will cure the "oil" problem, as you suggest, sir. They want only to MAINTAIN the problem in order to MAINTAIN POWER for the Democratic party in government. After this election, it is excruciatingly clear that the uphoria of the Obama supporters was NOT his ability to lead this country, but the HATE for the Bush administration. The people (HUNDREDS) I have talked to about why they voted for Obama replied: "he's tall, he's black, he has a nice smile, hate Bush". Puhleez. When the new administration does nothing, it will be all rigth with the masses. Watch! Too harsh? Not!

The Fed Still Manipulates Gold and the Markets

Smarty Pants is just plain SMART! And we are grateful for his enlightenments, aren't we?

Thank you!

Blackmont Capital Bullish on Gold and Silver

bosun j.: Amen!

Don't Miss the Coming Gold Bull

aitvaras:

Central Banks dumping gold? Are you kidding me? They are "prevented" from "selling" (really lending..they NEVER sell their gold) more than 500 tonnes annually. This year TOGETHER the central banks have not "sold" that much gold. They have even gone so far as to state they will be refraining from any further gold activity! SO, what gives you any indication they are doing so, when China, Russia, France, Italy and others are buying as much as they can get their hands on? Even if they DO "lend", what does that do to the almighty dollar? Give it up, please! If you want to chide the Pinelli's of the world, go ahead, but make sense, huh?
