And it is highly likely certain of these are unavoidable.Fortunately, it is possible to prepare to avoid significant damage from most of these and indeed to profit, as we indicate here.Unfortunately, if one fails to prepare for certain of these very soon, it will be Friday, May 03, 2013 |

 Don't Sell Your Gold Until?  |
| To me, at least, times are fascinating as much as they are disturbing. The
take down we have seen in gold and silver beginning on Friday and still
continuing on Monday is breathtaking. I like many others believe that the
takedown was orchestrated and initiated by those who have brought the world
to its knees but that after a certain point a whole lot of other factors,
whether they be fear, sentiment or computers also contributed to the
continuing slide. Precious metals haMonday, April 22, 2013 |

| Gold vs. SP 500 - Where is the Value? |
| This past week we received the final 4th Quarter GDP number which came in
at 0.39%. The total 4th Quarter growth was terrible, plain and simple. Based
on the performance in the equity markets that we have seen thus far in the
1st Quarter of 2013 investors would expect strong GDP growth. However, the
only thing spurring stock market growth is the constant humming of Ben Bernanke's
printing press.

Remember this is the same species that created the Tulip mania ? and the tech, and real estate bubble.Folks in the real world it just isn?t possible to have a strong dollar if you are counterfeiting 85 billion of them a month.

People believe in fiat digital money that is, by definition of the term, counterfeit and have zero belief in money that is real, and thus lasted over 5000 years of global history. In fact so few people today have an understanding of monetary history and truth that when I tell them that all money in wide use and circulation today is the equivalent of counterfeit money, even thoughFriday, March 08, 2013 |

| The U.S. Constitution's Twenty-Seventh Amendment: Limiting Congressional Pay Raises - Bu |
| While Michael Arnheim lauds over the 27th Amendment limiting congressional pay, President Obama again flexed his Executive Order muscle and gave congress a raise anyway! I mean let's get real, who can even get by when the real inflation rate is closer to 10% than the miserly 1.7% as the fabricated number we're given by government!

Dying Hope  |
| It’s ironic that Obama’s 2008 campaign platform focused on the amorphous, fleeting, impractical emotion of HOPE. I get it, it’s just campaign PROPAGANDA – formed by small minds, preying on smaller ones.
From the politician’s standpoint, the best part of such an ambiguous “promise” is the near impossibility of measuring it. From time to time, loaded polls suggest constituent “approval”; however, theSaturday, February 02, 2013 |

| In the wake of rising housing prices a reader asked if I would revisit my March 2102 article How Far Have Home Prices "Really" Fallen.
The reader specifically wanted an update on inflation as measured by the HPI-CPI (a measure of the CPI where actual home prices instead of rent is the largest CPI component).
Here is some background on the request: The CPI does not track hope prices per se, rather the CPI uses a concept called "Owners' Equivalent Rent" (OER) as a proxy for home prices.

Silver bearishness has naturally mushroomed following this metal’s rough December.A growing chorus is declaring silver’s secular bull finished, implying it must have peaked after silver’s dazzling April 2011 surge.But secular bulls climax in popular speculative manias, which dwarf the silver action of a couple springs ago.Saturday, January 12, 2013 |
