Monday late night - what a ride!
Two things of interest today...
Casey's Daily dispatch - Welcome to the Mania
And a new discovery that I'm calling the "Committed Argument". Expected Returns -Now this one is really worth reading from top to bottom because it explains in layman's terms exactly what's happening and exactly what you should be doing. It starts with his latest article called "Smart Money "and moves into "Riding Bull Markets: The Difference Between Pros and Speculators", and goes on from there. Very easy reading and informative in the extreme.
Be sure to review the Top Five daily. These are: GATA, FOFOA, The Golden Truth, King World News and Ed Steer's G&S Daily.
All linked on the left at Silvernews. There is a wealth of current information to be had from these sources.
love you all.
Please buy silver regularly in any small amounts at Gainesville Coins,
Hold on and don't let go. Large amounts call me. Call me if you need to talk about it. 618-698-8001

Finally
So that's it, folks.
I started this blog less than 2 months ago, (July 30), the purpose being to educate myself (and hopefully you) and chronicle an important time in American history and research the events that led up to it - the rise of silver (and gold, but that was a given), from semi-obscurity, known only to a few truth-tellers but for a very long time, and to learn for myself what was really going on behind the scenes of this not very popular but seminally important subject. At that time a 'monster box' (500 American Eagle Silver troy ounces) was to be had for $9.8K. Now it's nearly 11.8 and rising. From 10K to 12K in two months? You do the math! Does that explain it all?
Last week James Turk said $21 silver should be the trigger price for a price explosion; and Eric Sprott bought 6 tons of gold for his Physical Trust. As you've certainly noticed, it busted $21 and is on the rise (in spite of the attempts of the big guys to keep shooting it down, they've simply run out of bullets).
This week he talks about silver reaching $30 within the next few weeks... and warns precious metals investors not to trade themselves out of their positions. Instead he urges steady accumulation for the long term as a form of savings in sound money. The link to this must listen interview is here.
So mission accomplished. The whole history is linked here on these pages. Silver and gold are launched as they were predicted to be. There's nowhere now to go but up, and you do not need my help buying. If you want to know the very best sources just give me a call.
Other than the decline and fall of the American economy - who gets blamed, who gets caught and who gets away - there's not much more to tell. I hope you all got in on the beginning and will manifest abundance in hard times as a result. And if not, the end is nowhere in sight. It's by no means too late. Buy it now. It's destined to double triple, quadruple and even quintuple in a relatively very short time period. It's just the nature of failed corruption.
Subscribe to Ed Steer's Gold and Silver Daily and the Casey Report, and any of the many other great commentators listed on the blog. It's all here! If you like the really heady stuff you gotta read FOFOA and learn about Austrian Economics. There's so much more, but only if you're interested.
Thanks for your indulgence.

$21 might do it - JT
Good Friday AM Dear Reader,
From Ed Steer’s Daily, these headlines:
James Turk says $21 silver should be the trigger price for a price explosion. Sprott buys 6 tons of gold.
James Turk (KWN)- “Here We Go Again”
Gold is at new record highs in European trading and silver is attempting a move towards $21. In an in-terview with King World News from Spain, James Turk stated, “While gold is moving higher, I am really focused on the $21 level in silver...”
Sprott buys 6 tons of gold.
And why should you care, you might ask? Sprott Physical Trust is one of the most respected of the “new” trusts. Not only is its founder respected but the principle upon which he founded this trust is considered to be the only truly sound principle for PM trusts in general. It requires a little study, but that’s the gist of it. That’s why Sprott is worth watching.
Also from a King World News (KWN) Interview…
Richard Russell, September 2010 “What we see here is one of the greatest, least loved, and least recognized primary bull markets in his-tory…. This great gold bull market is something that one sees maybe once or twice in a lifetime.”
And from Roger Mason’s Monthly Rant:
G/S ratio dropped from 65 to 61 - heading to 30 and then 15
“The gold to silver ratio has fallen from 65 to 1 all the way to 61 to 1 in less than a month. This will fall to the traditional 15 to 1 ratio. This is why silver is four times better than gold. Buy silver, not gold. Look for possibly $6,000 gold and $400 silver….
“We are going to have to sell our silver stocks because the best ones are in Mexico. You cannot invest in Central of South American countries like Peru and Chile. Mexico is bankrupt and under the control of the drug cartels. They are almost out of oil which is their biggest source of income. The peso will collapse. Tourism is dead. If drugs were legalized the cartels would disappear overnight and they could get their country back. This is why we are going to have to sell our silver stocks when the HUI to silver ratio improves to about 30 to 1. You can sell your silver stocks today if you want and buy bullion, but you'll be selling at a loss….
“The Mexicans are considering full drug legalization to get their country back. Former president Vincente Fox is all for it. Current president Felipe Calderon wants to, but is afraid of the political backlash. Billionaire Ricado Pliego, who owns the media down there, is firmly behind it. Another former president Ernesto Zedillo is behind this, and says the drug laws don't work. Simply legalizing all drugs (yes, cocaine and heroin) for adults would put an end to the cartels worldwide, the gangs, the violence, the murders, and the anarchy overnight. Drug use would not increase, as everyone who wants to use drugs is already using them. They are just paying more for them….
“See you in October. Buy all the silver you can. When is the best time to buy silver? WHEN YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, that's when.”

To My Local Community
Silver Coins in Small Quantities
In order to allow kids and low budget buyers to obtain silver coins in small quantities from time to time, I will sell 1 oz. Silver coins at roughly $5.00 (0r 25%) over spot. At the moment this amounts to $25.00 per coin.
This is a very good deal considering that to purchase small amounts (single coins) is both time consum-ing and expensive. Since I buy in (small) bulk, I can pass the savings and save you the work.
This price comprises seller’s premium (av. $3), S&H ($1 per coin) with a $1 margin. The same coins are selling on E-bay for approx. $3.00 premium plus shipping which is often as much as $4 but sometimes a little less.
For larger quantities (more than 10) give me a call.
The value of these coins is in the process of increasing exponentially.
On June 14, a box of 500 coins cost $9,840.
On August 6, it was $10,135,
On Sept. 14, $1,1130.
Do you see the pattern? That’s roughly $1,300 (13%) in three months. And it’s only beginning.
So in my desire to spread the wealth, I’m offering to the local community coins in small quantities at a good price (and co-op buying). Any time you have some money you’d like to save and watch grow, just let me know.

Now, Now, Now! - Part 3
SILVER BREAKS $20 "I am going to drill it into all your heads for the 100th time. Gold is going to erupt and expose most "professionals" as clueless. We are seeing a collapse in public confidence that will not be resolved until gold goes to much higher levels. These are times of serious change. Those who ignore what is happening in plain sight will regret it."
This from Dave in Denver explains the sharp jump up this morning in G&S. http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny (time sensitive: monday, 9/13/2010)
___________________________________
The U.S. Dollar Is In Trouble
“Gradually the dollar is being eliminated from the foreign-trade settlement flows,” said Dariusz Kowalczyk, a Hong-Kong based senior economist at Credit Agricole CIB. “People are beginning to trade Asian currencies without intermediation via the dollar.”
....
In the words of one analyst: “Given the risk to the dollar and U.S. assets from their fiscal position they want to reduce their dependence on the dollar as an invoicing currency...” Here's the link to the article: Dollar R.I.P.?
.....
The weak dollar may be supporting the surprising strength in the precious metals market, especially among big foreign buyers, who are vacuuming up physical gold and silver right now. In one of his daily "quickie" reports which can be accessed in the Midas report at http://www.lemetropolecafe.com/, "JB" reports: "India is booming and the “wealth effect” for the world's largest gold buyer cannot be ignored."
......
My best advice would be to start unloading your bond portfolio holdings before the dollar really starts to flush down the toilet and use the proceeds to buy a lot more physical gold and silver. I would like to point out that premiums for 1 oz. silver eagles on Ebay are back over $3/oz. This is indicative of strong retail demand and waning supply.

NOW! Like never Before - Part 2
Alright brothers and sisters
I did NOT want to do this but…
It’s just TOO JUICY. So here goes
First, a cool cut from the grateful dead wrapped in a very juicy silver prediction.
Dave from Denver says, “the silver market is about to give JPMorgan a nitroglycerine enema.”
http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/09/time-for-some-friday-fun.html
Check Kitco here! http://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html#ny
Do you see? Yesterday it cracked $20 once and today, three or four times before being beaten back down by “da boyz”. They cannot keep it up. That’s why Dave is predicting “Silver is getting ready to do a moonshot.” With the Dead in the background, of course. Whatta guy.
So! I continue to browse and this is what clinches another letter today. You gotta read this one. It is a very cleverly written article posted on Activist Post that is certainly worthy of your attention. I give you the intro by Rick Ackerman: Called “Doomsdayers are not cynical enough”.
[Like your editor, Rick’s Picks forum regular Wayne Razzi (aka “Red Will”) is a veteran floor-trader who grew up in South Jersey. When I asked him if he would like to contribute a guest commentary, I was not expecting the provocative tour de force that unfolds, step by step, below. In the essay, Will asserts nothing less that that the impending collapse of our economic system was meticulously engineered by financial and political sociopaths. Let me attest that his is not some whack-o conspiracy theory; rather, it is the closely-reasoned argument of a highly intelligent person who values truth sufficiently to have searched for it, in the form of an answer to a profoundly disturbing question, for many years. Judge for yourself whether his conclusions tally with your own thoughts as to why the American Dream is about to go bust. RA]
It starts here. http://www.activistpost.com/2010/09/doomsdayers-are-not-cynical-enough.html#more
The full article is here.
http://www.rickackerman.com/2010/09/doomsdayers-are-not-cynical-enough/#more-25809
There! That should be enough to light a fire under your butt.
Now figure this. If Silver is - for the very brief moment - spot $20, and purchasing premium is $2.50 (approx.) and shipping is $1, we’re looking at a silver cost to you of $23.50 and RISING! So let’s say street value for the moment is $25 a coin. That's what I'll sell singles and very small quantities for.
Whereas a month ago I could get a mint-sealed box of 500 coins for less that $10,000, Now it’s costing Eleven! And as you’ve noticed, the practical people are saying there’s no end in sight. Now supposing silver at $20-25 doubles, oh, say conservatively, in a year (but more likely in four to six months – is it not better to buy it now than then? Anyone got 11K to loan me for a year? Name your price. I’m serious. I need to get rich, even if you don’t. And yes, I know the best places to buy… Call now.

NOW! Like Never Before
Silver is busting over $20 spot and here are a few corroborating articles.
Jim Sinclair – Strapping in for the big move
He expects gold to reach $1,650 by January 14, 2011 -- barely three months away.
James Turk – Explosion Imminent in Gold and Silver
The Grandich Letter: Gold and Silver Alert - The Final Battle
Ed Steer’s Daily
From which I must quote one… He says (and I quote):
“Lastly today is another commentary posted over at King World News that Eric slid into my in-box in the wee hours of this morning. He states that "Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital put together this piece exclusively for the KWN blog which gives an outstanding synopsis of both the forty-one page slideshow presentation and his twenty-three page speech. It discusses US government suppression of the gold price and the unsustainable debt of the US and UK. It gives some staggering potential price figures for gold. The staggering prices that Davies gives are in line with what Jim Rickards was mentioning in his two interviews and blog that I posted yesterday. The Ben Davies commentary, headlined "Gold Wars - A Golden Renaissance", is a must read as well... and the link is here.”
That’s enough. Act now!

Total Depression
You might wonder, dear reader, why I've not posted in the last few days. And it's simply that there is absolutely NO GOOD NEWS AT ALL! Gold and Silver prices have begun their inevitable and long expected rise to the top. Say goodbye to $17.50 and hello to $21.00 and more. Still good to buy, cause this is only the beginning. But just take a look at Activist Post Videos if you wanna know what's happening and how we got this way. The best news is that some 35 and rising state governments are insisting on their Constitutional rights and that is probably our only real hope. The newest video on this resurgencee of Constitutional Statehood is 'Don't Tread on ME' to be found here. It's a VERY important new documentary on how significant people in state government are waging a potentially successful battle against the tyranny of the Fed.
I've said all I have to say about this phase of our education. It took me a little more that a month to build this blog. Call me foolish, but I'm old enough to remember when times were really good and it meant something to be an American.
Watch the video. Seems to me like it's our only hope.
Signing off for now.

A Serious Warning For You Pro's
Here’s a serious warning for you professionals. From The New American, Bob Aldeman writes:
Obama Needs Your 401(k) to Balance His Budget
Roger Mason’s Monthly Economic Rant paints the picture in unambiguous terms. http://www.economicrant.com/current-article.php
I’m discovering that The Daily Bell is far more than an ordinary daily rag on current events. For example, read this one:
Bank Run 2011?
and this one:
Mises Shakes the World
Both of the above were sent to me in their daily newsletter, a great Free-Market commentary on media presentation of current events.
And what, you might ask, does “Free-Market” mean? They have it all explained in the ‘resources’ section.
"Free market thinking deals with the social arrangements that arise in the absence of coercion by means of violence or the threat of violence." >>>
"The ethical touchstone of free market thinking is consent."
I like that, and, it makes sense.
Alright. So more about what I'm learning here (and 'trying' to pass on).
There are some influences afoot that I had not suspected and am only beginning to discover. So I’m no expert on this subject, but I believe I’ve discovered the people who are, and it's way different from what I might have imagined.
Where to begin…
Well, with this:
“… we think the Austrian economic movement is one of the longest-lived and most important intellectual and ideological conversations in history. And whatever misrepresents it is of similar import, especially if it represents a larger trend.” ~ The Daily Bell
I would argue that this article, as esoteric as it may seem to a neophyte, is a key place to begin in the unraveling of the mystery of Austrian Economics and its significant role in the future of mankind in the era of the falling empire. The article refers to an earlier DB (Daily Bell) commentary on an article in WSJ (Wall Street Journal) stating that “Peter J. Boettke of George Mason University is the emerging standard bearer for a revived Austrian school of economics.” … etc.
And the DB commentary is here. This is where the fun (and self-education in Austrian Economics) begins…
The sequel is here:
and the latest (9-2-10) is here:
Starting with this and following the links and learning about the people behind the names is the adventure of Austrian Economics – a force that is changing the world, one person at a time.
So, the places I’m focusing on now in my unending quest for knowledge are:
The Daily Bell, with all its links and archives – http://thedailybell.com
http://lewrockwell.com/
Lew Rockwell is the co-founder, with Murray Rothbard, of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics;
and The Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics; http://mises.org/
These may seem at first glance to be horribly obscure and possibly insignificant, but I assure you, dear reader, that they are not that, but the roots of understanding how a true “free market” economy works. And like all things good, their absence leaves only ignorance and speculation leading to misunderstanding and corruption based on short-sighted greed.
Oh. And did I mention that this is fundamental economic philosophy followed and espoused by Congressman Ron Paul?
Love

I’m discovering that The Daily Bell is far more than an ordinary daily rag on current events. For example, read this one:
Bank Run 2011?
and this one:
Mises Shakes the World
Both of the above were sent to me in their daily newsletter, a great Free-Market commentary on media presentation of current events.
And what, you might ask, does “Free-Market” mean? They have it all explained in the ‘resources’ section.
"Free market thinking deals with the social arrangements that arise in the absence of coercion by means of violence or the threat of violence." >>>
"The ethical touchstone of free market thinking is consent."
I like that, and, it makes sense.
Alright. So more about what I'm learning here (and 'trying' to pass on).
There are some influences afoot that I had not suspected and am only beginning to discover. So I’m no expert on this subject, but I believe I’ve discovered the people who are, and it's way different from what I might have imagined.
Where to begin…
Well, with this:
“… we think the Austrian economic movement is one of the longest-lived and most important intellectual and ideological conversations in history. And whatever misrepresents it is of similar import, especially if it represents a larger trend.” ~ The Daily Bell
I would argue that this article, as esoteric as it may seem to a neophyte, is a key place to begin in the unraveling of the mystery of Austrian Economics and its significant role in the future of mankind in the era of the falling empire. The article refers to an earlier DB (Daily Bell) commentary on an article in WSJ (Wall Street Journal) stating that “Peter J. Boettke of George Mason University is the emerging standard bearer for a revived Austrian school of economics.” … etc.
And the DB commentary is here. This is where the fun (and self-education in Austrian Economics) begins…
The sequel is here:
and the latest (9-2-10) is here:
Starting with this and following the links and learning about the people behind the names is the adventure of Austrian Economics – a force that is changing the world, one person at a time.
So, the places I’m focusing on now in my unending quest for knowledge are:
The Daily Bell, with all its links and archives – http://thedailybell.com
http://lewrockwell.com/
Lew Rockwell is the co-founder, with Murray Rothbard, of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics;
and The Ludwig von Mises Institute of Austrian Economics; http://mises.org/
These may seem at first glance to be horribly obscure and possibly insignificant, but I assure you, dear reader, that they are not that, but the roots of understanding how a true “free market” economy works. And like all things good, their absence leaves only ignorance and speculation leading to misunderstanding and corruption based on short-sighted greed.
Oh. And did I mention that this is fundamental economic philosophy followed and espoused by Congressman Ron Paul?
