Creating a Natural Hedge

QUESTION: Sir, like many others I was fleeced with the gold as money story and took my losses and moved on, particularly as I ingrained the principles of investing and practise the discipline of day trading – that of obeying the buy/sell signals and not falling in love with the trade. As a resident of Switzerland […]

The IMF & The Destruction of Capital Formation

  One question that rises to the surface immediately with the IMF proposal to confiscate 10% of everyone’s bank accounts in Europe, is what will this do to the Euro. Will the Euro rally or fall? The overwhelming misguided Dollar Haters who have preached the end of the dollar and rush out and buy gold […]

Civil Unrest Rising in Europe

Official and security departments throughout Europe are now worried about a rising tide in Europe of Civil Unrest. In Spain, anyone who demonstrates spontaneously in the Spanish Parliament, have to pay a fine of €600,000 euros and thus no free speech. The Spanish are increasing penalties for protesting and threatening anyone who dares to film […]

Just for the Record – Fourth Branch of Government

Just for the record I do not offer my OPINION on things without stating it is only my OPINION. The called me the man you knew too much. Before 1999, I was asked my people in the Republican party to meet with people who wanted to run for President under the pretense I was there […]

Conspiracy Theories = Communism

Constantly people insist there has to be these “rich” trillionaires who are out to enslave all people and create some one-world government. It is power they want not money? Those in the private sector are only concerned about money. Goldman Sachs, I believe,  filled government spots to eliminate the power to prosecute them so they […]

What About Britain?

QUESTION: Do you see IMF appropriations for non-Eurozone countries like Britain? Or was it solely the Eurozone mentioned in the plans. Surely they would rather devalue their currency than something like this in Britain? Not sure the Brits would put up with this. Do you remember the Poll Tax riots suffered by Thatcher? Best regards, […]

IMF Proposed Expropriation for Europe

  The IMF proposal to just take 10% of all European deposits would certainly not take place before the EU elections on May 25th. We do show higher volatility and a crazy period in 2014 in the September/October period. That will be the beginning of the crisis period that will not end until about 2020. […]

Diamonds the New International Money?

  Everyone has heard that the diamond industry is a monopoly controlled by the De Beers Family of Companies. That perception has been the standard response because they in fact had such a monopoly beginning in the mid-1800s. That actually came to an end in 2000. There has never been a commodity exchange for diamonds […]

Long-term (decades) v Short-Term Investing

QUESTION: “If gold and silver are such a bad investment, why are there so many “we buy gold and silver” shops opening up in my town (Dallas, TX)? Shouldn’t they have gone out of business being on the wrong side of this trade?” ANSWER: No. That really has nothing to do with anything. Whatever they […]

Iceland – The First to Fall – The First to Rise

QUESTION: Greetings from Iceland! Thank you for all the material you post on your blog! I wish I had come across your writings 40 years ago instead of just recently. Does your model include data and predictions for Iceland? Did it predict the collapse in 2008? What is the outlook for the next few years […]
