Invest in ammo.

Easier to trade with, much more valuable in a crisis.

I think you are right. I see gold skyrocketing and NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to right now.

I think we have more to worry about than Europe. Believe it or not Germany's, France's and Spain's GDP/Debt ratio is way lower the ours. France's is at 89%, Germany's is at 82% and Spain's is at 69%. We are over 100%.

When Bush left office the GDP to debt ratio was about 70%. After 3.5 years in office that American Mugabe who resides in the WH increased the GDP to debt ratio to over 100%.

Here are the stats.

Yep.

Don’t show that to Bob Brinker.

He’ll have a cardiac.

....he’s an amazingly vociferous gold-hating blowhard.....

Not to mention, he’s a big fan of Maynard Keynes ....

Correct again. Getting good mileage from Gorilla brand duck tape! Stronger than standard tape, and stylishly black!

Little pricey but worth it!

Cheers!

Yeah, and it looks a lot like the tulip chart before tulips crashed, too.

A bubble is a bubble is a bubble.

Does anyone wonder at what point the price of “paper gold” and “actual physical” (in one’s personal possession) will diverge?

I wouldn’t touch “paper silver or gold” ever - it is way too easy to manipulate - and like “musical chairs”...

... and when the music stops a lot of people are going to be in a world of hurt.

Remember all those flip your house shows and infomercials? Gold has been doing the same thing over the last several years.

Run like the wind comes to mind.I can't wait for all the shyster lawyers going after the gold co's.
