Precious Metals: Where I Might Start Buying

At 900 dollars an ounce for Gold and in Silver around 11 or 10 dollars. I do not even know if they are going to get there, but if they do, that would be where I would be interested in buying. (Regarding Gold), I might even start buying before at 950 dollars per ounce.

The U.S. Dollar Is Going To Go Higher As Turmoil Increases Worldwide

The U.S. Dollar is going to go higher as turmoil increases worldwide and as the U.S. dollar goes higher, gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD)) and silver (iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV)),  will probably continue under pressure.

In 1972, North Korea was richer than South Korea with their vast natural resources. They still have them. They have been ruined by the Communist.

Currencies: The Origin Of The Term Debasement

The romans figured out ways to debase their currency, gold coins disappeared in Rome because the Roman government was debasing the currency, so everybody took the gold and hide it at home.

The term debasement in fact comes from what the Romans were doing because they put base metals, lead, copper, whatever into the silver coins and so if you look back, historically, at one point silver coins in Rome were 100 percent silver. By the end, silver coins in Rome had less than 0.2 percent. They were essentially base metals in the end. That is where we got the term debasement. So even silver coin, even gold has been debased because politicians knew ways to rob all of us.
