Oops. I read that over and did not mean to imply that I've doubled my investment. What I was alluding to was that these are momentum plays and I've increased my stake in this particular stock twice.
sorry,

Howdy,
Today surprised me. As the market rallied, both gold and silver stayed flat to down. However, my silver juniors all continued to rock. My star right now is SVM, which I've doubled up on twice. Others I'm riding are EXK, ASM, SVC (rat), A…
Howdy,
Elizabeth Warren represents the progressive wing of the democratic party which is pretty much the same drum beat Bernie's marching to. Even staying silent (for now), her mere existence along with Bernie's campaign threatens to divide the de…
Howdy folks,
What I want to see is President Warren. Perhaps, considering Bernie's age, he'll take Liz as his running mate with the intention of turning it over after one term.
Works for me,
peace,

Howdy folks,
I'm with Delph - I don't see a another Great Depression. Out on the streets, the 'recovery' is actually starting to take place from the ground up. China will muddle through, albeit at a much reduced path of growth. So will we.
Ho…
Howdy folks,
Mark is spot on. Goes back to Peter Lynch - play what you know. Everybody has some area of knowledge superior to most and if played . . . I've collected coins for some 60 years so I should know pm's. I've watched Mark play MLPs for …
Howdy PopTart,
I too have been watching the space very closely and actually added to my VERY small positions with junior silver miners just yesterday.
First of all I am still of the mind that everyone should have a wee bit of precious metals in…
Howdy folks,
I really don't see a bottom yet in oil but I've never played the patch without getting my hands dirty (and most everything else) so WTF do I know. That said, I'm really looking at grabbing some XOM at this point. It's yielding 3.75% …
Hi Dan,
Geez, you peeps that live in The City, are soooooo sensitive. ;-) teehehe
Yeah, I noticed it too, but hey, I'm sort of a visiting fudgie these days, so WTF?!?
I'm old enough that I can smell a troll from quite a ways - and I don't. Ju…
@rono
Hi Ron,
Thank you for your time with this most complex area of our social structure; and your common sense expressions and considerations regarding various circumstances.
Too many conflicting fingers in the money pie as the money attempts t…

Howdy folks,
Nice discussion.
There is a give away aspect to the more socially liberal wing of the democratic party that I can't support. Much of the Obama $1T Capital spending program went down this drain. To brutalize the saying - 'If I f…
Howdy folks,
Geez, a bit of an election and all y'all go nuts. ;-)
CNBC started this insanity with their attack questions. Seems the networks were more about touting themselves and their moderators than the candidates.
Donald is busting Fox cho…
What has always made this forum great was the diversity of the posters and their views. This or that 'expert' have come and gone but the forum lives as does the quality of advice and information.
Count your blessings, campers.
And so it goes,

Howdy campers,
Started wicked ugly but recovered so very well. Geez, this morning, I was even flashing back to Gary Smith 'true selling day' and was contemplating drastically reducing all equity positions. feh. Held off.
What has changed? Wh…
Thanks for posting this. It harkens back to the 'cargo cults' started in WWII. With the C-47's supplying the troops the natives looked on in wonder as these steel birds brought all kinds of goodies from afar. It ended up becoming a quasi-religio…
Howdy campers,
While currently being a republican office holder, I am a lifelong democrat based upon my voting.
Hillary is a war-mongering industrialist fluffer for Wall Street. And I'll probably have no choice but to vote for her considering …
Howdy professor,
Been dead for a couple of years now - since they peaked. feh. It was a great run - one of the all time easy bulls to ride.
Have some great holidays,

Howdy,
It's been going on for quite a while - the extermination of the middle class, if you will.
Here in Michigan, Ballard states we hit our mfg peak in 1973. That might be somewhere around middle class peak growth. That's about when the wager…
Howdy folks,
Interesting article. They use potential carbon pricing and/or regulatory regime as headwinds the fossil fuel industry, I'd be very curious to see how all fuels competed in the marketplace if they were completely free of any tax breaks…
Howdy,
Sure looks like the bull market is over. That said, it was a wonderful ride. Historically, commodity type bull markets run 12-15 years or so and we're right there.
I still believe in a 'security blanket' holding of pm's representing a …
Howdy folks,
Thoughts for the families.
There is a huge issue with a sizeable portion of our citizenry - that they flat do not trust the U.S. gov't. Where do you think Donald is garnering so much support? Not only don't they trust the gov't, th…
Howdy campers,
Why not take away their ability to expense advertising on their books. That's why you see a prescription drug advertised on TV every 2 or 3 minutes.
Oh, and BTW, just to go on record, I am for socialized medicine across the board. …
We need some demand side economics (e.g. raising the minimum wage, rebuilding the infrastructure) to stimulate aggregate demand.
Oh, and BTW, every person in jail for a marijuana offense should receive an unconditional pardon and have their rec…
Howdy folks,
Alas and alack. This sounds like pure fraud and theft. However, it's still sad for the folks involved.
However, there is possibly a looming bit of a problem in the gold and silver arenas with a lot more paper bullion existing than…
Howdy,
Yeppers, happened after the crash in '29. If I recall folks pretty much avoided stocks until the war and later. Hell, my folks just passed in their mid-80's and they wouldn't ever buy a stock. CD's and Series EE. Oh, and don't even sug…
Hi Mark,
Hope you're doing well.
About time they cracked down on high finance crimes. Geez, you rip $500M and IF they catch you and IF they convict you, you get a $500K fine and 3 years in a Federal country club prison. Where do we sign up?

And two - in spite of our official foreign policy causing so many to see us as 'the ugly Americans' - as indi…
