You are mathematically correct, but I still like bld522's approach and do it myself. In the face of unknown conditions, I hedge my bets. I have...
Great post. I violate nearly every dang tenet, but that doesn't mean you are not completely correct. :)
I agree with your thoughts on the weakness of the Fed, but disagree on the tech boom and the ability of the Fed to recreate another boom. What did...
Just a point of clarification and defense of those people sir, (I did not vote). Let me ask you a question. If someone in Bulgaria strikes a...
I guess I disagree slightly sir. First, there have been asset bubbles cycling through the economy forever, its just the tech stock and housing...
Or metal die strikes. Perfectly legitimate answer, and even a little more "foggy".
Really? You are saying asset bubbles are from here on out extinct? Whew, that is a load off my mind then. ;) Btw the housing bubble did not...
I would add to Jim's response its human nature to complain. Ask any expert and they will tell you an unhappy customer will tell at least 10 times...

Only one small comment sir. Btw I really do appreciate you coming here to discuss these issues with us. It helps a lot. So, my main concern...
That is fair sir, but always be ready to pull the trigger if you really believe you know something. I use PM as a hedge too, but if it skyrocketed...
I do not think I have ever lost a coin within the US. I have only ever lost them coming from overseas. Half the time, if its obvious, the USPS...
Good article, thanks for posting. Makes you stop and think. I had read similar lately, which is why in the end I moved bullion and higher end...
1000% agree. Unless there is some kind of extraordinary tax situation, "its ok if it goes down since I am ahead" is a bad psychology to get into....
US consumers with a total revolving debt of over $800 billion paying on average about 12.8% interest kind of tells me we borrow a LOT regardles of...
True, and its probably the greatest shortfall of ancient coinage. However, most ancient coins were bullion, so always worth their weight in PM at...
