Foolishness I tell you

I was at a local gun show this weekend working and meeting
local people. The show was a bit slow however the people were good to meet and
interesting.

While visiting with different types of folks, I couldn’t
keep from thinking how we as American’s have God given rights.

The rights are part of our Constitution said to be given to
us by God and that man should not be able to remove such rights.

A local tv reporter who has covered me in other matters,
more political, came by my booth and was asking questions about gun law and
about limiting guns.

She said she was sure there would be lots of viewpoints with
the people that attend gun shows.

While she was interviewing or walking around, I was thinking
how narrow minded and foolish such actions of limiting our rights are. Just
because of an action of someone, everyone should be stripped of our rights
given to us in our Constitution?

With such thinking it reminded me of a show on TV I was
watching while flipping channels. The show was 48 hours; the case was of a
killing of a man. The 48 hours elapsed, but months later the show updated on
finding the killer. The killer confessed of the killing and told the whole
story.

It was a paid hit over drugs and money. They used a car to
run over the guy.

So my question has to be, if using the very same knee jerk
reaction to think of solving a problem, then we should ban money and cars and
then the killing will come to an end.

It’s not the removing of rights that is the issue, it’s the
punishing the action of the few that abuse their rights and others.

You see the law does nothing in protection the law abiding
citizen, we are sheep for the killing and when it happens all protection is
given to the law breaker not the law abiding citizen.

Just like our economy, we have to look at what causes the
problem not the problem and find the solution, what caused the problem.

This is why we have such foolishness at our airports.
Instead of doing the right thing of challenging and profile of the people committing
 attacks, we punish everyone, and the
ideal of maybe going after our guns for some mental person action.  Instead of looking at the reason for the
failure they address a response to an action. Foolishness I tell you.

It's natural for Corrections

In a free market, supply and demand is the driving force that provides the
value. If there is too much of something the value is less and if there is less
the value is worth more.

How we look at things can help us see what could and should happen. The driving forces of a free market in it's more pure form is simple, however today the free market is less than free, it has factors that really limit the function of operation with too many rules and regulations. (Yes, some
rules and regulations are needed, but not many) 

Free market is competition. 

Let's look at most any area where free market is free to operate and we can
see everyone is the better for it. The average man and woman live better today
cause of the private free market. The value of anything and the quality of that
thing is far better when free market is in play. For the few dollars competing for that item, many will try to work, serve and create a better product for those few dollars. This allows the buyer more
options and better quality.

When we remove the gain of the work, by too many rules and regulations, the people suffer .

At first glance it seem good to strap such rules on a market place, and some
are needed, but few. The market place will do the self-correction by not buying
a bad product or practice. We don't need to hurt the whole market place due to what
if.

In the end the very so called rules to protect is the very cause that puts
those jobs and cost out of the reach of the very people it was designed to
help. This is the cause and effect of undue burdens on the free market.

Have you considered how the free market produces your favorite sandwich?
Pick yours and think of where and who raised the meat, the farmer who raised
the vegies, the factory that made the bread and everything you place on your favorite
sandwich. Look at the people at the supply store that provided the feed to the
farmer, the trucks and drivers that was used, the refrigeration’s systems that
were built and the timing of all this in an affordable way to have everything
come together when you request your desired sandwich and at a very affordable
cost.

Yes the free market is self-correcting and to remove the supply or effect
the demand will lower the standard of living to the average family, this is why
less government and more free market will cause value and more demand which
will demand more employed and raises the standard of living for all.

This is the history of America, what is new is Big Government and that is
and should not be the future of America.

Plain Fact of the Matter

We don’t have to look too far in our past to see there are
times not to be in the Stock Market. Yes it is reaching higher and higher. The
question has to be asked not that it is going higher but what is making it go
higher.

Today we live in a political control economy and that
includes the stock market.  Look at the
front running and how it is set up. The average investor want a be is doomed and
may not even know it.

While the desire to put your hard earned money in a stock is
and will be a place that you are not in control. There are way too many
outcomes that will end up taking you and your cash.

The answer is to have hard assets in hand. Let the people
who never learn loose again and again. This time place your cash, that is
getting weaker and weaker in to precious metals. This will preserve your
wealth.

Question and more Questions

There are what appear to be an abundant of commercials on TV and the radio trying to sell you something, and the “buy gold” commercials are abundant as well.

So what is up with all the pushing of selling Gold? Why buy Gold? If I want to buy Gold where do I buy it and can I trust the guy on the phone?  Great questions and I am going to try and give you some insight on this precious metal and why you should acquire the stuff called Gold.

Right now, less than one percent of American’s are acquiring any form of precious metals.  With all
the advertising one would think everyone is into buying gold or some type of precious metal. Far from it based on the numbers. But why are so few investing in what has proven to be the most solid form of currency in all of history?

It appears there are more questions and I guess we will approach each one as they come up.

In future blogs, I will talk about the ban on owning Gold back in the 1930’s and why that happened. Can that happen again? If not why?

I will also cover why the dollar is under attack and if it is, how do you preserve your wealth and with what? Gold? Silver? Food? 

What do we move to if the dollar does fall, will the IMF be able to fund and start the SDR’s (Special Drawing Right) the new global currency? Will inflation and high unemployment meet at the same time the dollar “might” collapse?

We have so many possible questions and each will get addressed as we progress from answering or looking at each question.

I am not interested in ideological rants from any view, but based on economics and government policies.

I have studied most major forms of economics, and will approach my view from a “free market” approach. However it is clear a true form of “free market” is not a reality so we will look at it with the limits created by undue regulations and of course the biggest failure of them all the Central
Bank, a private company known as the Federal Reserve.  We will have to look into why the Central Bank is the root cause of the Boom – Bust system, and are we in a Boom or Bust something now?

Hope you check back as I cover each topic and go into details of these most interesting questions. I enjoy the study and will have unique insights that you might or might not agree with, either way it will have you thinking.

why gold

Welcome to my blog. Here I will share interesting topics on precious
metals. Why precious metals are moving and why we should have some in our
investment.

I would like for you to respond to my blog and let me know
your questions and interest.

We can and will cover many topics for education and
information.
