Yeah, my view. Any list like this is quibblable,(sp?) but not a bad broad stroke. I was thinking about this, for ancients it would have to be a...
Yeah, Ebay 25 years ago was fantastic. Sales tax, Ebay fees, etc have all made it demonstrably much worst than it used to be.
Just not a fan at these yields. I think other alternatives might take some demand, especially considering the issuances needed in the next 5-10...
Of course not, but I was on this Board a lot on 2011 when people were making fun of me predicting it to be $20 again, (right @-jeffB :)). It was...
I would predict Gold $3300, Silver $32. I don't hate PM, being one of the older PM hoarders here, I just see reversion to the mean. Btw,...
Yes, getting back to silver. I think it will hang around here for a while then drift back down once the excitement ends, but will for years be...
I was in Iowa when I passed the CPA, old school two and a half day exam all at once. :) I think back then if you showed X years working for a CPA...

Advocating for fiat currency that is properly managed is a much different animal than defending what countries are currently doing sir. Properly...
The gold is there. There is basically nothing to gain from selling it. Let's do the math, 265 million ounces times $5000 is $1.35 trillion, and...
The main thing I can comment on is the fact I have been there many times over decades. I do not ever recall seeing anyone in Thailand wearing...
You really need to understand the gold business in Thailand. In the US jewelry is bought basically without attention being paid to commodity...
Yes, I agree. They actually have extensive silver coin tradition because mines in that area of the world were not the traditional...
I hear you. I love some gold coins, (see my avatar of course), but as a metal I just never was in love with the color. I don't know why it is,...
Remonetization will never happen. Last one to attempt it was Mexico in the 1990's. Problem is that currency need stability, and the PM market is...
