Firstly, anybody with prior knowledge of such an event would be able to accumulate free assets limited only by their borrowing capacity. We would have a cacophony of corruption and abuse preceding the "event" that dwarfs what we're seeing nowadays. This can't just be "sprung" on the world economy, it needs ...

"Life ALWAYS evolves and unfolds from the inside towards outside, from the finer to the gross. Not the other way round."

Yes, historically 16:1, and around that (maybe 19:1) in the Earth's crust. But does that mean silver is under-valued relative to gold or that gold is over-valued relative to silver? That's the question.

To be fair the talk had a lot of focus on China and Britain, where it seems silver played a part in the coinage of those countries until much later than 1870. To have the context shift suddenly to the US...

Global warming or not we treat this planet atrociously. At least the EU tried to do something about it.

What does the US do? They TRASH their once awesome and beautiful land for monetary gain so that they can spread their political disease to any country weak enough to listen, via war mongering and outright theft. and then laugh at the EU for making an effort to do something right?

Oh well, ho...

"However, the German elite has long seen the EU as an opportunity for acquiring the empire Germany has for so long desired."

This is a bit rich. Germans, for the most part are a hard working and disciplined lot who just happen to be very good at what they do. They made a commitment to the EU and the true test of any commitment is how it fares during a crisis. To their credit Germany has been quite good ...

Cudos to anybody who can buy a large amount of anything and afford to sit on it for 4 years.

In fact, well done to all of you for doing so much better than me at everything. Pretty soon you'll have one less loser to push around.

THE ROCK? no I don't build on ex-wrestlers who think they can act.

I researched into property for 2 years before buying. For my entire life I watched property double in value consistently roughly every 10-15 years. I observed and absorbed information for a good year before buying into PMs. In both cases I probably got the wrong advice but at the time historically both had done very well. I made decision...

I'm not an investor... I don't own shares or have a portfolio. I don't even have any superannuation (401K) due to being "self-employed". I bought PM's because I was seeing a 40% drop in my US dollar salary (in AU dollars) over the past 5 years. I tried to protect myself against the crashing value of money, at least as I saw it.

My property needs maintenance before selling which I can't afford of course...

Thanks for your comments. I'm based in Australia and sitting on top of a property bubble that everybody thinks is "different here" when the rest of the world has dealt with theirs. Pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm just a sheep who is going to get fleeced, fleeced some more and then skinned for good measure. Oh and I lost my job 3 months ago so there won't be any treading water... just sinking like a sto...

Sorry but to my ears thats the same old dribble that kept me seeing "buying opportunities" instead of selling when I wasn't under water. Over it. The sooner that talk stops the sooner people can make better informed decisions in my opinion.

As for "other tangible investments" yeh there's the family dump that the bank owns 80% of thats lucky to be worth the same as what we payed 6 years ago... and... no...

Sad, but I think Microsoft has had a pretty good run - they dominated PCs for decades.
Time to move aside - especially if they can't keep they're lead after such a big head start.

Comon Andy, this is going a bit far. :)

TPTB are smart enough to realize that killing everybody off doesn't make them richer. It simply reduces demand in a big way for what would be a massive glut of availble "wealth". Everything from property to gold and silver would lose value in direct proportion to the numbers being "culled".

To extend this theory towards an extemity (something I always do ...

Great read... and some of my ill-will towards the corporate system has been dissolved. I now have a better appreciation for both sides.

However... The corporation is often owned by a faceless group of investors, usually via managed funds. They are slaves to the demands of share-holders slamming their fists for ever-increasing profits. The shareholders are drawn to invest in ever-increasing hoards as fia...

Interesting Sales Trend Emerges - What’s Your View

Perth Mint Blog

I'd be interested to know if the trend is reflected in gold. Are the smaller 1/10 gold coins becoming more popular? Yes I've got about 10% of my silver stack in 1/2 oz coins.

Why? I buy gold and silver for 2 reasons:
a) Investment / Inflation hedge
b) Catastrophe insurance

I buy larger, cost-effective portions to satisfy a).
I buy smaller 1/2oz and 1oz lots for reason b).

Always enjoyed your analysis Clive. I find it refreshingly impartial, unemotional and most importantly, honest. Being "spot on" or at least "close to the mark" most of the time doesn't hurt either. ;)

Of all the articles contributed to 24hr gold, I find yours the best. Keep up the good work! I missed your commentry for the past couple of months... hope you had a nice break.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your response. Wow I really was spitting the dummy at this point wasn't I? Ha ha. So thats what I said at the time, but what did I actually do? I bought more (sly grin). I sold one of my guitars and juggled the family budget to make room for another purchase. I needed to look at the big picture, and for the most part I'm in this game for the long-haul.

I completely agree. Check out this chart of currency indexes...

PM as a store of wealth? Yeh whatever. Unless you're already wealthy enough to take big losses, to have lots of funds to hold you out while you wait for things to recover then its a waste of time. Anybody who was going to make money out of PM's bought them years ago... and then promptly started drumming up the hype. The rest of us are just pawns in their game.
