I agree that gold is still in an uptrend and I have no problem owing it, but I don't put much faith in the popular ratios of gold to silver or...
Anyone who reads and follows Graham's book would have had no problem taking advantage of the market swings of the past decade even without a lot...
I would turn that around a bit. There is no feasible way for them to pay for the unfunded liabilities. And if something is impossible, it...
If you want to point out that the price of BRK is lower than the all-time high, then I agree. Very few real value investors would have purchased...
This would, of course, tend to put a tailwind behind precious metals. But since the price of gold and silver are discounting far worse conditions...
I think ASEs. They are very popular. Someday the US Mint will discontinue the series and when that happens every ASE in existence will begin to...
As usually, it is worthwhile to check out fatima's claims. In fact, Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett's primary investment, is up somewhat over the...
I agree. The Buffett of the 1960s and 1970s had a lot more to teach people than the Buffett of today. At the same time, it is difficult to...
I don't agree. Consider if you purchased XOM, PG, WFC, INTC, PEP, JNJ, and MO. That would provide tremendous diversification, safety, dividends,...

It's right for you to ask the question. That's why I've recommended on several occasions to read "The Intelligent Investor" by Ben Graham. It's...
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure that prices in a modern technological society can be usefully compared to...
This deserves an answer. I don't know if it is typical for that type of packaging, but it certainly isn't right. Coins should not rattle in a...
Amazing. Even when you were flat-out factually wrong, it still proves that you were right in your mind. LOL:rollling:
Corporations are flush with cash because they also hold record high levels of debt that must be serviced. Somehow the business media never...
I've always wondered about the toga story because I've never seen any actual research on the price of clothing in Rome, so I treat it as one of...
Not necessarily. Remember that printing money [supply] will only make the value of the dollar drop if it is greater than the demand for money....
Gold is already substantially higher than the total cost of production, and that would indicate to me that it has probably caught up to the...
I think that is oversimplification. Gold has historically done well and poorly when interest rates and the dollar were both high and low....
Separate names with a comma.
