It costs about 7 cents to print a one hundred dollar bill.

It costs about $1000 to “print” (mine and mint) a gold coin.

Which is likely to be worth more in the future?

After reading yesterday’s complaints about the lack  of site attendance, I offer this:

Mish has a post about this too, but the ZH one is a bit fuller , and of course the commentary is exemplary.

I have been lurking for eons, regularly enjoy Maya’s train pics, have nothing to offer that does not seem to draw criticism, so….

BTW, it’s not the price of the metals, it’s the possession that counts.

If you’re only in it for the trade, you are in for heartache.

$2.25 high yesterday, $1.86 now. Bottomed at $1.60 on 1/30 from the $3.25 high last year. This is real crazy price action. The 2008 high was $4/gal. No stability.

Silver up 2% as well.

Course, there’s always the morning.

They left out the most important requirement for prosperity. All citizens and businesses should not import ANY THING that can be purchased or produced domestically. ESPECIALLY labor intensive menial labor products.

Gov’t media always suggests we need to spend on infrastructure to create jobs. WHO THE HELL NEEDS infrastructure when taxpayers are already over taxed, and are under paid and gov’ts are already not getting enough revenue, and hesitate to raise taxes, already too high, and have budget deficits??

It cost taxpayers money, and the construction companies have huge equipment that does all the work, and the owner gets all the money. Plus the hand full big union wages go on taxpayer bills.

Infrastructure, space and defense, and wasting money is FINE when the country and tax PAYERS are well off. But nothing is affordable for the gov’t, or the USA taxpayers when we pay or hire foreign nations citizens for things we can make at home.

Kinda like going out for dinner every night. To save money you eat at home.

Better read!! You may be signing that you want them, thinking that you are signing that you are against them. Like everything else in this corrupt world the tricky  language you sign might be FOR rather than AGAINST this bill!!

Check this video out with english sub titles.  Very poised young people I must say.

Allowing the US to push NATO right up to  Russias borders with missels  was a mistake and they know it .Half of Ukraine people are historically Russian and SPEAK RUSSIAN .What did that BRZEZinski think he was doing (Obama CHIEF Foreign Policy Advisor)..He’s still fighting WW2 and wants revenge for something Russia DIDN’t DO !

Putin has been remarkaby business like .British are ok to tell Russia you had good reason to do what you did ,but don’t go any farther with territotial encursions .WE need to support British with that ! Obamas foreign policy advisor made a terrible mistake (as usual)  that could have encouraged Russia to take advantage of its LOCAL Power.and endanger the whole European continent …So far ,its far enough !     Obamas Stupid Foreign Policy risks another European War,it would be his FAULT.    GET RID of BZRZEZINSKI      !     Hopefully Putin will restrain himeslf  and look for more European trade agreements  instead of Political bullshit.

Europe needs to reign in Obamas stupidity …

Cool pics

Oblabla refuses to see the Perpetual War Monger from Israel  so he can pursue his own Perpetual war against America  ..NICE !   So this is what its come to  …

Maybe if we could concentrate them all in one place they might just kill each other and leave the rest of us alone !

Problem is these days its hard to tell the difference between the Fascists and the Communists Both are enemies of America as the Founders designed it ..

Both believe in Central Gubberment concentrated Power at the Top ..but..but suddenly there’s another kid on the Block that thinks combining Religion and Gubberment is even more Powerful ….so we have another potential threat to America ..Three enemies  at the Gate ..all jealous of prosperity among the citizenry and all aim to destroy that like the Fatted Calf  ready for the barbecue  ..It is coming time for a Fortress America  with a Buffer Zone beyond Canada in the North ,Caribbean in the South ,midway between Atlantic & Pacific Oceans ..Reinforce those Borders ,Halt  immigration of anybody or group that derides America’s freedoms, in any way criticizes its freedoms or demands it do more to aid the rest of the World that refuses to de Centralize Power in their original homelands.

Requests for help should be met by supplying arms to those that are willing to go back to these places and fix the problems they immigrate from….

Give them a COPY of the Constitution and a biography of each of the Founders and tell them call us when they have implemented  the aforementioned.

Refuse admission to all that want to remake America in the image of where they ran away from .Carefully consider those willing to abandon all ties and Passports from countries of origin, abolish DUEL Passports completely .Impose an official English language requirement to be met and taught in our schools. Admit to our colleges foreigners that have a economic sponsor  and a commitment of a job upon graduation followed by all the above requirements for citizenry  including an allegiance pledge in writing or a return ticket .

All should sign a document acknowledging separation of church and state and sign a pledge of allegiance  to America  under penalty of deportation .

Install Term limits ,abolish corporate Lobbying ,Corporations are NOT citizens ..they have no votes,no constitutional rights,they are creatures created by the several States and are subject to individual State Law which is above Federal Law since States created them they can  never be above their creator.

It can be fixed ! The Constitution is not a living document ,its a written document ,changed only by constitution rules .

They did it right the First TIME ,it don’t need fixen …99.99% of us are not smart enough to change it for the better …WE cant even implement it correctly..

The Founders did NOT give us a Democracy ,a form of MOB rule ,but a Constitutional Republic ,with a BILL of Rights .   READ IT !    Your going to be tested    sooner than you think..

The trek to 7 Falls – an 8 mile round trip. Worth every step…

This correction is about over…then we’ll see some profit opportunities. Meanwhile, I am hanging onto good gains in BIP, GTIM, XSD. Took a flyer on some TLT calls…ta da!! Patience pays, went deep green today.

Not as good as Netflix, EEOS, but I’ll take the profits vs loss any time.

Hershey’s pulls GMO ingredients from best-selling chocolate bars amid backlash against ‘Frankenfoods’

Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates and Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars will start featuring ‘simpler ingredients’ this year, the company announced
It comes after pressure from anti-GMO activists, who claim the technology is environmentally suspect and a possible health threat
Others in the food industry insist the foods are safe and less harmful to the environment, and that the technology boosts food production
Hershey’s says the new ingredients will be more expensive but it is committed to keeping prices the same for consumers

Western “Boots On The Ground” In Ukraine: Britain Sends 75 “Military Advisers” To Combat “Russia-Backed Aggression”

Greece debt crisis: Eurozone backs reform plans

Eurozone finance ministers have approved reform proposals submitted by Greece as a condition for extending its bailout by four months, officials say.

The Eurogroup said it had agreed to begin national procedures – parliamentary votes in several states to give the deal final approval.

The measures offered by Greece include combating tax evasion and reforming the public sector.

But the head of the IMF said they lacked “clear assurances” in key areas.

Greece’s debt stands at more than €320bn (£237bn), and its current €240bn bailout expires on Saturday. Fresh funding will not be released until Greece’s proposals are approved in detail.

The stakes of talks over continued financial aid have been high because of fears of a Greek default that could push it out of the euro, triggering turmoil in the EU.

The main stock market in Athens rose by nearly 10% on Tuesday afternoon, hitting a three-month high.

You’re welcome Equis. 🙂

Yeah I miss cannuckgold and a bunch of other people as well. I suspect most will be back when our market turns up and maybe we’ll get some new posters as well.

I miss having Cannuckgold to chat with on this forum because as a native son of Saskatchewan I could discuss natural resource matters of common interest to us in that province. Thanks for continuing to post news clips from the mining industry on this forum. I appreciate your efforts to bring them to our attention. Cheers. Equiz

But same time NFLX and many others have gone from $50 to $500. but no bubble here move along nothing to see

Saskatchewan is the most attractive jurisdiction for mining investment in Canada, and the second best worldwide, according to the latest annual global survey of mining executives released Tuesday by the Fraser Institute.

Canada’s policy think-tank’s Annual Survey of Mining Companies 2014, rates 122 jurisdictions around the world based on their geologic appeal and the extent to which government policies encourage exploration and investment.

This year, the potash and oil-rich prairie province was placed at the top by executives surveyed between August 26 and November 15, 2014.

Zambia president says to prevent job losses at Barrick Gold’s mine

23rd February 2015 By: Reuters

LUSAKA – President Edgar Lungu said on Monday his government would not allow mining jobs to be lost at Barrick Gold’s Zambian copper mine after the company said it plans to close the business due to high royalties.

More than 2 000 unionised workers at the Lumwana copper mine owned stopped work on Monday demanding to know what will happen to them when the company closes the business.

“The Head of State has assured that government will not allow a single mining job to be lost and has accordingly directed the Ministry of Mines to ensure that operations at Lumwana Mine are not idled for care and maintenance,” he said in a statement.
