Or a tube of Triple Antibiotic ointment, or a bottle of Pepto-Bismo. There is the rumor that the Health Care bill might pass this weekend, so stocks are off a slight amount ( -7 pts ( 0.58%) off on the DOWIndust.) , banks off about about 0.8%, but gold is off about $17 ( 1.7%, more or less). So where is the rush to gold as huge tax increase and expenditures loom in the future?? Seemingly some people would expect gold to be up 1.7% rather than down. So I guess the gold hoarder group is buying in a stealth mode. Jim
Gold plummetted today ($15 in 15 minutes) based on dollar strength due (in some round about way) to the Greek debacle...don't ask me, I don't understand it. :rolling: I think it has to do with the EU bailing out Greece...putting pressure on the Euro, thus strengthing the dollar in relation to the Euro. I don't see how markets can assign value to any of these currencies.
The chickens won't be able to lay eggs anymore because they'll all be dead. People won't be able to afford the countless steroids, weight enhancement and antibiotic drugs that are now employed and that the chickens need to survive their genetic manipulation. Cows will starve or become sick and die via genetically manipulated seed from Monsanto. Plants will cease since they can't get sunlight through the volcanic soot that will be in the atmosphere to obstruct it. The wheelbarrow full of money MIGHT be useful to start fires with. The silver shiny coin, besides being illegal to own, MIGHT be useful as a part of some sort of body armour sewn into a piece of leftover quilt. Commodities may still be there, but eventually, very little of anything else.
Exactly Tom, and according to some who've commented on this thread, even if the chickens did survive, it wouldn't be for long, because some bozo is going to shoot the farmer who keeps these chickens for the eggs. Heck, they'll probably be so hard up, they'll shoot the chickens as well. Unbelievable!
The value of precious metals after a global economic collapse should be retained or eventually regain their values , as long as the collapse is not accompanied by serious natural disasters ( or even un-natural disasters like a H.A.A.R.P. accident ). see: General Questions about HAARP http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/faq.html I remember the first year I played an online multi-player game called Diablo2, there were unique items that were coveted by thousands of players. One of the 1st Windforce Bows found in the game was auctioned off on eBay for $1,200.00 REAL US Dollars. Bare in mind it was a virtual item that could only be used in the online game and could only be saved on the game host computer and not the player's local computer. The value that gets assigned to anything real or imagined is dependent upon the community you are dealing with.
More likely a by product of an INTENTIONAL consequence of HAARP. Glad to see that at least some of the public isn't braindead. WTG.
I assume you are attempting to be sarcastic as you don't have a reasonable explaination against the post I made. The fact of the matter is that dictatorships are usually pretty civil places as long as you comply with the dictators. Wars, if you didn't realize it, are the luxury of civil societies. There is no such thing as "war" when there is anarchy. Both are irrelevant to the points I made about holding gold. They are nothing but strawmen arguments against buying gold.
luxury? please. go fight in iraq and tell me it's a luxury. if it were possible, go fight in the civil war and tell me it's a luxury. war is not a luxury. a necessity, yes, but NOT a luxury. btw, the definition of luxury is "something inessential that provides pleasure and comfort."
