Our advisors tell me that Quantitative Easing & weakness in the US Dollar will continue throughout 2011, allowing gold to continue rising…silver dollars in our area have been selling for $27 ea in ‘junk silver condition.’



Top Searches for 2010

Sunday’s edition came through a bit garbled as I forgot to transfer the content to the better version of our word processor…or maybe it was so blasted cold and snowy that my brain froze. I kind of forgot how blasted cold it can get and why I’m happy to work primarily from home!

Google and other released their Top 10 Searches for 2010 and it should come as no surprise that…
In a nutshell, 2010 has been a year of global struggles ranging from the debt crisis, soaring unemployment, political turmoil to achievements in the medical and scientific fields, and catastrophic tragedies caused by both man and nature.

More folks are becoming more than a little concerned about the global financial turmoil, inflation and the bad government policies which brought the economic crash upon us.

That, gentle reader, requires a reminder of what I wrote a couple of weeks ago…gold prices will go higher and whenever gold shoots higher, that nearly always means commodity prices shoot higher. The people always have to pay the price for bad government and Wall Street decisions.

As we get closer to the holiday, I’m going to include additional videos to make you think, to make you laugh…we can always use more of that!

As more nations default, as most recently seen in Ireland, Our economy will suffer even more due to QE! Most banks which were bailed out are in worse shape now due to toxic mortgages. Most likely, the middle class will be completely destroyed in the coming years due to even more inflation.

As I wrote on Sunday, despite the recent election, nothing in Washington has changed.

You might find Ron Paul’s interview about Soviet style economy on the horizon for US voters of interest. Draw your own conclusion. You will also enjoy my favorite judge & his Freedom Watch show from Fox News.

Moms can make a connection. I’ve always heard that holidays are the loneliest time for many and suicide rates often spike as a result. If you know of someone who is lonely, perhaps just lost a loved one, share some time with them and direct them to this site where they can join an online community.

Our government steals, excuse me, seizes a lot of goods from citizens. They do auction quite a bit of it off (the Poor Man used to auction the City of Phx surplus & seized goods) and you can save some cash. Try this site:

How Bankers Spy on You…
Big Banker is watching you—more closely than ever.
With lenders still skittish about making new loans, credit bureaus and others are hawking services that help banks probe deeply into your financial closet. The new offerings include ways to look at your rent and utility payments, figure out your income, gauge your home's value and even rate your banking habits based on details like whether your direct deposits have stopped.

Several services and commodities will rise in price in 2011
-Postal Rates
-Gold (most likely silver too)
-Ammunition
-College tuition
-Coffee
-auto insurance, health insurance
-new car prices
-Water rates-if you are serviced by a government, your rates will increase
-Fast food - Mickey Dee’s has little choice as the price of wheat rises, most everything else will too. The Poor Man predicted this 4 or 5 issues ago and prices went up the next day!

"One of the greatest problems that we as a free people face today is that for the past 100 years trial judges in the U.S. have routinely misinformed jurors that they were bound to accept the judge's opinion of what the law is; which law to apply; and whether or not they had to find a defendant guilty. In so doing these judges have welded shut this all important safety valve, which our Founders so wisely provided our society -- and the result has been an explosive one."

Gold is being pushed by fear and a bad economy, inflation and TV marketing. Ten years ago the ratio between silver, gold and platinum was 17 oz. of silver to 1 oz. of gold and 3oz. of gold to 1 oz. of platinum. That ratio had stayed pretty static for over 50 years. Today, the ratio is 59 oz. of silver to 1 oz. of gold and 1.2 oz. of gold to 1 oz. of platinum. Fear, government spending and heavy marketing by TV gold resellers has pushed the perceived value of gold very high compared to silver or platinum. The rule is to buy low and sell high…but even silver prices have headed north.

Gold is at an all-time high. Will it go higher? Probably, but at some point it will turn and when it does, its value will likely drop very fast. If you have gold or you are thinking of buying gold, you need to follow the economy very closely. Watch for a noticeable improvement in the business sector GDP, new jobs, end of government bailouts and end of spending…it could happen or at least the perception. This is when gold may start dropping. Gold has served in this role for thousands of years, but laws created by governments that have grown too big to put this role in doubt today. Gold Confiscation is still on the books. My personal thought is to always take personal possession of your gold and silver.

* November's Producer Price Index (PPI) for finished goods surged 0.8%, almost double most economists' estimates. On an annualized basis, that's equivalent to nearly 10% inflation!
Moreover, the inflation is not stemming just from rising energy prices. Overall, the cost of food rose 1 full percentage point in November, equivalent to 12% annual inflation.

The dollar may drop 11 percent versus the euro next year as investors shun U.S. assets and drive bonds lower, according to Citigroup Inc. Happy New Year!

Parting Shots

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the more socialist our government becomes the more corrupt the system/politicians becomes? We seemed to have developed a culture of fraud in this country. There doesn’t seem to be a week that goes by where there isn’t a news report about a politician who lies about an affair, their military record, political favors and financial payoffs, etc?

Data brokers have long been used by our government (especially the IRS) to track Americans. Back in 1996 when I wrote a lengthy how-to manual on protecting your assets, privacy and identity from government pirates, greedy lawyers, ex-spouses, etc…one of the things we predicted was the move toward outlawing cash while promoting use of easily monitored credit and debit cards…in 2018 the UK will outlaw the use of paper checks!

Since your cash probably won’t be worth much in the near future, perhaps you will no longer care that our government monitors your spending habits.
