If you're holding gold, you'd better hope they stay confused and a
little
neurotic, or you're screwed. d8-)


Look, you are some type of damn fool.

Which type do you think?


If you don't think the rich have a good percentage of solid assets, you
are a complete moron ... which, you have already convinced me, you are!

I'm trying awfully hard to be polite to you, John, but you're making it
tough. I think that John is trying pretty hard, too.


It is the idiots like you who will be collecting welfare and food stamps
... however, I think you most likely are now! You talk like a damn fool
who will soon be parted from their money ... if they had any ...

Ok, that does it. John, you're a clueless rube with a head full of mush,
who
talks through his hat. You probably couldn't look up a fact if your life
depended on it.

It's people like you, and the Tea Party ignoramuses, who are threatening
to
run the country into the gutter. You never bothered to learn ANY of the
things you're talking about, yet you're ready to call the people who have
spent a lifetime with it "dumb."

Here's a clue, rube: You don't know what money is. You don't know why
gold
is no longer a practical basis for currency. You don't even know what our
GDP is, or what the trend is, or what percentage of adults actually have
jobs. It's high.

You think that our currency is going to collapse, but you wouldn't have
the
vaguest idea about why that has never happened, even in worse
circumstances,
and why it won't happen now.

You're hopeless. I was trying to pass along a few facts that you might
find
surprising and interesting, and incorporate them into your thinking. But
you're immune to facts, just like the Tea Baggers, and you substitute
insults for taking the time to learn something. So you aren't worth the
time.

Go buy gold, rant and rave, and try to keep your blood pressure under
control. You're not ready for this discussion. It's 'way over your head.


Show me a valid financial consultant who doesn't recommend you hold, at a
minimum, 25% of your assets in gold, they simply don't exist.

Everyone in this discussion has said you should spend what you want to on
gold, as an individual. What's nutz is to tie gold to our currency.


Mine said, "Put what you can't afford to lose in gold." I put it all,
except what I need for running my operations for the next 3 years or so
... and, with my present income, that is probably more like 6 to 10, even
with increasing inflation, if inflation goes thought the roof, it all goes
up for grabs. If the chinese can free themselves from our manipulations
over their needed oil, it could begin to happen that minute!

I am not saying that kind of commitment to gold is for everyone, but the
25% certainly IS!

Fine, buy all you want. Just leave the rest of us out of it.
