Adios Penny … you were worth something once
The Death of the Penny – US Mint to Cease Penny Production in 2015
Bastards
“How will stores handle transactions without pennies? We are moving toward a cashless society and most transactions are handled electronically with credit cards and ATM cards, or with a check. So eliminating the penny won’t actually affect most people. For people who insist on paying cash, the US Mint recommends that stores round up or down to the nearest nickel. Note: As a side effect, expect state and local sales taxes to increase to round up to the nearest nickel as well to make accounting easier for stores and cashiers.”

Santa Fe Gold Files Voluntary Petition Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/santa-fe-gold-files-voluntary-171100394.html
Here’s a pretty easy picture to paint in about 400 words!!
Your neighbor, a lifelong friend, rushes into your house with his great news. He was rummaging through his grandma’s old trunk in the attic and discovered a note written in 1919 hidden in the trunk lining. The note said “under the third step of the house you will find a tomato can with much value inside”, so quite excitedly, since he still lived in his Grandma’s old house, he rushed to the third step, pried it up, and sure enough, there was a rusty old tin can, and inside was a roll of cash amounting to $1000. He flashes all those bills at you and and laughs at his good luck. That $1000 will probably buy him at least a months worth of groceries, and maybe even a tank of gas too. What a terrific find!!!!!
Then you remember that YOUR grandma and your neighbors grandma were best of lifelong friends, and YOUR grandma also had an old trunk in the attic. So thinking maybe your own grandma had done the same thing you rush to your attic, throw open the trunk, and sure enough, there is a note in the lining explaining: ” My good friend and neighbor just informed me she was going to hide $1000 in cash for whatever heir finds it. The year is 1919 and I will do the same. However, I will take the $1000 cash and buy 50 one ounce gold coins, and hide them under the NE corner stone of the foundation of this house. I know gold will always have value but I’m not so sure about those dollar bills”. So you grab a crowbar and shovel, run to the NE corner stone and start to dig……and sure enough, in an old pint mason jar, there are the gold coins.
knowing nothing about the possible value of those 50 gold coins you take them to your local coin dealer and learn that the gold price is currently VERY depressed, and that is certainly discouraging news……But you ask for a quote anyway, and learn that at this very depressed gold price those 50 one ounce gold coins are worth $56,000, but the coin dealer will be happy to take them off your hands.
After thinking it over for a few minutes you decide you had a very smart old grandma, and you will just hold on to those gold coins. If they are depressed in value now, what might they be worth in the future???????????????
All The Best, and isn’t that why we are all here????………………………….Silverngold

Anybody have a clue as to why? Master’s of the Universe decided low crude price wasn’t doing what they wanted it to do?

Only good thing coming out of this other than O’s days are short is that he has brought out the weakness, corruption and incompetence of others who he allowed to be quite in your face open about it. So hopefully he has effectively flushed them out for the people to deal with and they can follow him out as well. I hope people don’t forgive forget at voting time. They can forgive but not forget, at least for their sake.

Good quote and will be final straw in fiat like a roach trap to enslave the majority for the benefit of the few.
Re: We’ve all been lead into the same credit/debit card game and in many cases cash is no longer accepted…..but digital currencies will be the final death trap to shear the sheeple!! IMO!!! All The Best to All………………….Silverngold
Some humans always find away to take something natural or that can be used for good and try to use it to their own advantage and will become their own undoing someday.
Better start printing to keep those rates down

equise, re tracking
there are lots of tracking scams in operation, and i take a perverse pleasure in screwing with them. store reward cards are easy to spoof. they give the customer access to discounts, but you must fill out your contact information. they never check to see if it’s real world information. i have cards that are issued in the name of Kilgore Trout (a will of the wisp character in several of kurt vonnegut’s novels) with an address in the middle of a lake in a town where i had a paper route as a youth. it’s only natural for a guy named “trout” to have an address a couple blocks off the end of the old city pier. another card was issued to that famous jewish redneck, Buster Hymen. his address is in the middle of an intersection on sorority row of a local university. phone numbers can be fun too, 1031 is halloween, birthdays on june 31st are good, use your imagination the next time someone asks for personal information.
