let's not argue,
what does confuse me is the fact that Jordan and Yumyum say they are Ron Paul supporters but they are bearish on metals relative to equities. This to me would come from a perspective that the economy is experiencing organic growth and that things are relatively fine. If they believe as such why aren't they on Obama 2012's team?
We need all the supporters we can get, but are they serious about RP? If so why own Equities over metals in this environment?
Equities are way better than metals because they're easier to value.
For a great equity, you might want to try BofA. It got the most AIG bailout money of the big depositor banks, has some $53.7 trillion in derivatives in the FDIC-insured portion (the Merrill Lynch securities division holds $22 trillion in addition.) The bank has $5 trillion of credit derivatives.

Haven't you learned your lesson yet yumyum?![]()
Seriously. If history serves us well, meaning YumYum posting to get out of gold, now must be the time to buy.
Well... Ron Paul supporters will probably be the only ones trading physical gold were the S to HTF. You try giving a disc of gold to any other man seeking guns in exchange for chickens, and he'll give you a pretty stern "wtf can I do with that - gtfo." stare, I suspect.LOL. You have to own gold to be a Ron Paul supporter?

I've never seen YumYum say anything besides get out of gold.

Lol -- you know, I remember the videos about people trying to give gold away to kids, and none of them wanted it. Libertarians, though, they know the "true" value of physical gold.... yessirreee! They'll be trading it all day long once the SHTF, and TV news reporters will come ask folks "Why have you traded away your house for gold?" and the fellow will respond "Gold always increases in value once the SHTF."
I understand your point, but had you lived in the 1930's with all your gold, you would have been sent to prison. One thing I have learned about people throughout history: same faces, just different names.
You actually have that one wrong. Many did not turn in their gold, even though most complied voluntarily. Nobody ever went to prison over this. There were no house to house searches, no forced seizures of any kind, and only one prosecution - even that was overturned by Judge John M. Woolsey on the grounds that the order was signed by the President, and not the Secretary of the Treasury, as required by law.
That does not mean it cannot happen, but history is not a guide in this particular case.
There was a man that was found in violation of hoarding gold.
You trust people, don't you?
Yes, and he was exonerated, as I said.
Many. But that's not what you meant, is it? You meant "government people"? No. I trust the rule of law when it is structured in a way that acknowledges an inherent, very healthy, very patriotic distrust of ALL government. I trust the Constitution, not our CORRUPTED government that refuses to follow it. I also trust the Bill of Rights that we would NEVER have gotten were it not for complete distrust of our currency debauching government, and the terrible anarchy that ensued and threatened the Republic in its infancy.
Ok. Given that you love the Constitution, and our country, and Martha Washington and all her kids, you will pay pack the national debt...correct? I mean, if you believe in the Constitution, we are responsible for paying off our debts. Right?
