I personally am not comfortable holding these ETF's (except with my 401K since I can't cash it out while employed). They are an IOU based on...
The East is accumulating all the wealth, and we are spending money we don't have on things we don't need. It's an unfortunate turn of events, but...
Soros knows how to move markets for profit. If he is doing something publicly it is most likely because he wants to capitalize on the counter...
Luckily for me I don't plan on selling my money. I flip dollars for coins, not the other way around :) but yes, you make a good point, which is...
This presumes that little fish like us can move the markets. In today's world of high frequency trading that just isn't true anymore. The parable...
Just keep all your receipts. Depending on what state you are in it might matter, it might not. In Washington state we don't have capital gains tax...

Indeed, I am taking a longer term view with this thread. However I don't think it will take a couple centuries. Who knows really, but my line of...
Good point Jim. I suppose the question really is, if and when there is a shortage, will these old mines be able to meet the current mining...
I'm no old timer, but how about the US debt ceiling last year? That was pretty much the sole catalyst for 1600-1900 in a matter of weeks. That is...
