The Vice Presidential debate was this week, and it was supposed to get into the real down and dirty numbers.  Vice Presidents rarely make a difference in the outcome of a Presidential election, so who cares who won.  I am focusing on what is not said, and both parties conveniently leave out the $85 billion a month the Fed is printing to bail out bankers and suppress interest rates.  (more…)

Since this site went on line three years ago, more than a dozen readers either emailed or commented they cashed out of their IRAs or 401-Ks, paid the tax and penalty, and invested in physical gold and silver.  One reader, in particular, told me he did this when gold was at the outrageous “bubble” price of around $800 per ounce.   (more…)

The first Presidential debate is wrapped up, and it looks like Republican challenger Mitt Romney scored a big victory against President Obama.  Romney zinged Obama a couple of times and looked way more prepared than the President.  When Obama brought up the nearly $3 billion in tax credits given to oil and gas companies, Romney fired back with $90 billion to green energy companies, most of which have failed or are not making a profit.  (more…)

Investor Reggie Middleton says the “unlimited” money printing by the Fed is a “real-time Frankenstein experiment.”  Middleton “. . . doesn’t see a positive end to this.”  He says, “Insolvent institutions need to fail and start from scratch,” but global central banks are propping them up because they think they can put the economy back on track with trillions in freshly printed cash.  (more…)

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Reagan Administration, says, “The Israel/Iran conflict is not about nukes, but water!”  Dr. Roberts says, “Israel wants to get rid of Iran as supplier to Hezbollah . . . .

There were lots of fireworks at the United Nations this week.  Yesterday, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, was drawing a red line of his own on a crude picture of a bomb.  Don’t laugh, because he was really talking to the U.S. audience in illustrating his point that Iran is getting close to building a nuclear bomb.  It was simple but effective.  (more…)

We have long been told that gold is a commodity–that it is no different than a bushel of corn or a barrel of oil.  In many newspapers, it is listed under the commodity section.   With the advent of the Federal Reserve’s recent announcement of “unlimited” Quantitative Easing (QE) or money printing, that has changed.  The view of gold as a commodity has circled back to what banker JP Morgan proclaimed to Congress in 1913, “Gold is money and nothing else.”   Many folks in the blogosphere have long agreed with the original JP Morgan.  (more…)

The Middle East and North Africa are on fire.  The latest blow-up happened in Pakistan where the U.S. Embassy was attacked by protestors.  There have been attacks and protests on U.S. interests in Middle East countries such as Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and many others.  The Obama Administration says it is all because of some anti-Muslim movie, but many think it is way more about our foreign policy.  (more…)

I just want to focus on two stories today: the Federal Reserve’s latest round of money printing and the Middle East.  Let’s start with the Fed’s announcement.  It will print money and spend it buying $40 billion a month in sour debt.  It says it is to keep interest rates low and to spur employment, but it’s much more about a continued bailout of the big banks.  (more…)

You want to really know what’s going on in the EU?  Look no further than MEP Nigel Farage and his rant on the floor of the EU Parliament yesterday.  The German High Court OK’d the unlimited money printing and bond buying of the European Central Bank (ECB) and that is (in part) why gold and silver prices are going much higher in the years to come.  (more…)
