Thousand Dollar Gold today!
Boat prices are goin' up.....
Watch kitco's gif, without all the spam: http://kitco.com/images/live/gold.gif This gif is updated on every transaction, so reload it continuously. The green line is today.....now at $996/oz as I type this and CLIMBING. Your money is more worthless by the hour as this line climbs. Oil at $110/bbl is a bargain. So isn't diesel fuel. If we had dumped everything we owned back in 2003 and bought Rhodium for $380/oz, we'd be sitting at the Megadock sipping our gourmet coffee, flown in on our jets, on the after veranda of our Italian motoryachts worrying about bilge pumps, instead of some crappy little sloop with a leaky packing gland. Rhodium starts today at $US9,335/oz: http://www.kitco.com/LFgif/rh1825lnb.gif Can we sell some to you?...(c; ------------------------------------------------------------------ There IS a funny story in all this...... When I was married, the elite bankers decided to let Americans own gold, again, after taking it all for themselves since 1913. My greedy ex decided we should buy some South African Kruggerands I must admit I thought was a mistake. I wanted gold bars. Easier to store, no coin dealers sucking off the profits. We split up in the early 90's, another sad story. When we did, we split everything without paying lawyers everything we owned to split it for us. She got half of the Kruggerands, and I got half. I dumped mine in an obscure drawer in the now-unused bedroom and forgot about them. The other day, I was rummaging around in this now-storage room of a bedroom and was digging in that drawer. I stumbled upon the forgotten Kruggerands and decided to see what value they were holding in this depression: https://online.kitco.com/sellprice/selling.html $1018.26 each, this morning! I paid about $82 for each of them. I got a whole stack....(c; The Kruggerands haven't changed value a bit. The American dollar, on the other hand may have to be printed on a postage stamp, soon, if nothing is done to stop its freefall to oblivion......dammit. Sure wish I'd bought a few tons of Rhodium back in the '90s when it was $150/oz.......double dammit! |

Rhodium this morning is $US9,560.00 per oz., but what's a few hundred dollars an hour between friends....(c; https://online.kitco.com/sellprice/selling.html .......triple dammit.... http://futures.tradingcharts.com/chart/CW/38 Rhodium is climbing faster than a loaf of bread, though... |

Hey Larry,
Looks like the printing presses are going into double-triple overtime: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/mai...2/cnfed112.xml There's no better way than to inflate the currency to resolve debt problems. I always dreamed of having wheelbarrows of money. Soon I will, just to buy a loaf of bread! Who got us into the credit mess? Now who is trying to resolve it? Now if only wages and investments tracked the real inflation rate. Thank you Federal Reserve! You ARE the good guys, good for the average Joe and good for everyone! |

yes well, if you've been listening carefully to the current 'three
stooges' running for US president .... and if all the healthcare BS is included. If you look to the fact the current US healthcare is running 16-18% of GNP, and if the 3 stooges get their way .... the average 'middle class' taxpayer @ 28% averaged income tax bite will soon be 'enjoying' 28% + 16% = 44% in income taxes. So we'll all need a bigger wheelbarrow .... just to pay the damn income taxes. Im looking to flee to another country. My ancestors came to the US looking for economic, etc. freedom. I don't think they'd consider the US if they were immigrating today. |

@news.alt.net: Who got us into the credit mess? How soon we forget the lessons of 1929 where the masses starved while the bankers like the Warburgs and Rockefellers and Morgans got filthy rich, buying failing bank assets for a couple of pennies on the dollar. Everyone didn't starve in the 1930's. A small cadre of international bankers merely tightened their grip on the control of the world's governments and taught them a lesson of who is REALLY in charge, never raising their sabres from their scabbards. All the central banks are owned and controlled by the same "men behind the curtain". The Bank of England is no different. |

4ax.com: And what yardstick are you using to determine the value of a Kruggerrand? The "value" of gold is the yardstick by which all currencies are measured. It's been that way for thousands of years.....whether modern bankers like it or not is inconsequential. |

That might work somewhere in some cultures but here in SWFL gold or oil are both more marketable. Your chosen currency only has value if someone else wants it. Diamonds might be best of all if it weren't for the complexities of grading type and quality. |
