Yes. Contemplate a die - it obviously is the reverse of a coin, the depressions in the die are what become the raised parts of the coin. The...
Although I don't necessarily disagree with the underlying point, I think these two have "excuses" for what they received. The D'or looks like a...
The bullion market is just the same as any similar market, far more driven by emotion than any "expert" seems to factor. Unless it's somebody...
That's stupid, man. If that were a Thanksgiving meal you'd have to sit in the living room chair for hours afterward. :D Not a poor buy in the...
