  • Why GM Is Ready for a Rebound [View article]
    "Toyota, buy it today and you will drive it tomorrow"... Ponce

    Proud owner of a 1991 Toyota pick up that has NEVER let me down........broken fan belt and a bad outside right front wheel bearing and that's it.

    Tell me of an American car that can claim the same.

    As long as the American car makers don't give us what we need foreign cars will rule.

  • The Real Crisis Is Food: Beginning of the Bull for Agriculture [View article]
    You Americanos are lucky, in Cuba there is no milk and there is no steak and when you find it is only for the turists and for the biggies in the government.
    You had it made in the shade and for being stupid you have lost it all......your future will be a very dark one that will much worse than it is in Cuba where TSHTF has lasted for over 46 years, as a matter of face the best place to be at WTSHTF here in the states would be in Cuba, and safer.

    Why then don't I go back to Cuba? in the US on vacation for the past 53 years......about GM seeds, control the food and you will control the people.

    So sad................ :(

  • 5 Reasons to Avoid the Gold Rush [View article]
    "If you don't hold it, you don't own it"... Ponce

    I hold silver and gold not as an investment but as a preservation of my capital... I don't hold that much but what I do hold I know that it is mine.

    Ratio wise silver is a better than gold as less of it above ground.

  • Commodities Today: The Correction Has Arrived [View article]
    While many of you "invest" in many things, hoping to make a profit, I have been buying something that keeps going up in price everyday and that will keep me alive in what is to come...FOOD.
    At this time I have food for about eight year that has gone up in price anywhere from 50-250%, and the same goes for ammo which has gone up in price (in some cases) up to 500%.
    Forget about making money and consentrate in preserving what you already have, silver and gold, for tomorrow it might be to late.

  • The Coming Economic Collapse, Part 1  [View article]
    Yara, yara, yara.......like someone said ... a solution must be given with the problem,,, or like Mark Twain said "Everyone is talking about the weather but no one is doing anything about it".
    To tell you the truth... to me there is no solution to fix the problem and all that you can do is to get ready (as I have done) for what is to come.

  • Will a 'Silver Bullet' Finally Kill the Metal Manipulators? [View article]
    Placed any PM in a bank so called "safe" deposit box and chances are that in a WTSHTF conditions you will never see it again, "If you don't hold it, you don't own it"... Ponce

    And besides, there are many here that would need a box the size of a Brink's truck in order to hold all their silver.

    Why do I believe in silver? in 1972 I bought it at $2.45 + .50 and in 1980 sold it for $43.65 : ) for a profit of almost $750,000.......however, like I stated before... this time it will be to hold the value of my $$$ and not for profit.

  • Wal-Mart: Updated Financial Analysis Through April 2009 [View article]
    The future of Wally's world in the US will be "OK" but the real future for the company will be in foreign countries and the reason for this is that even with their "low" prices the American public will no longer be buying from them as in the past.....don't believe me? just take a short trip and look around, less customers and less products.

  • Will a 'Silver Bullet' Finally Kill the Metal Manipulators? [View article]
    I do mean todays coins and not pre 1960 but......you may also add those, time will tell but I know that I am right.

    About 9/11 I believe more the people that were there and were able to see and hear the explosions......since when does the government tells you the truth?

  • Will a 'Silver Bullet' Finally Kill the Metal Manipulators? [View article]
    Hi Jeff, thank you for your answer and I am with you about coins (I do hope that you are talking about today's everyday coins) for I have being saving my everyday coins for the past 32 years and now have five 5 gallons plastic bottles full of them and now working on number six.

    Like I wrote elsewhere....."In the future the government will be printing more paper but no coins hence the coins will retain their original value as in Germany in 1923 where an old lady with a bathtube full of coins did just fine during the depression"

    Hold a 100 dollar fiat in your left hand and a brick of nickels in your left hand, which one feels more real?. And of course you all know by now the price of printing a $100.00 bill vs stamping and distributing a brick of nickels... counting the metal content.,,,,,,,, .07 vs $166.00 : )

  • Unemployment Data: Exhaustion Rate Will Soon Lead To False Green Shoot Chatter [View article]
    If the future is in hands of the childrens of today then only by changing the way that we educate them will we be able to have a tomorrow for without them there will be no tomorrow.

    If we were to start right now it would take AT LEAST five generation to make the US number one once again.

    Don't judge the way that I write by what I say because I learned your language late in life, so that my English sucks lol.

    One reason that most companies left the US is because of the unions and the high wages and deals that they enforced on the employers for their employees.

    People make fun and talk about the wages being paid to the Chinise workers but you must remember that they can rent a house for $25.00 a months, a meal for .50 cents, power for $7.00 and so on... in the long run they are being better paid than most US workers.
