  1. I've been researching mining stocks since the last article you posted about it. This is a 5 year chart for Anglogold Ashanti (largest gold mining company in the world).

    It looks like most mining stocks in that they lost more than half their value before bottoming out last December. What I find interesting is that mining stocks seem to be somewhat disconnected from the overall stock market, and the proportion of the stock value to the gold price is out of whack. Gold has lost approximately 30% since the 2011 highs, while mining stocks have lost about double that. Makes me wonder what will happen if/when gold gains value again.

  2. I've been self employed my whole life, so the thought of someone else paying for my health insurance or retirement seems like a fantasy to me. I don't begrudge people who get those benefits (maybe a little), but I think everyone should be responsible for their own well being. It's called personal responsibility. It needs to start at the personal level, and spread upward from there. If we can't be responsible for ourselves, how can someone else be expected to be responsible for us ?

  3. This party of tea-baggers... They want their cake and eat it too. These guys insist that the states have greater control of their own governance with less interference from the federal government. Yet, when Colorado and Washington exercise more governance of their own states with President Obama's approval, they are up in arms. Come on guys, you can't have it both ways?

     

    Wow Stud !!! I completely agree with you. But I've been married for a while now, and haven't been tea bagged in a long time.  :eyebrows:

  4. The Liberals have already been teaching it in school. Liberals think the worlds problems are caused by America. Case in point...Obama running around apologizing for America. Those people are sick in the head. IMO

     

     If you disagree with the progressive agenda, you will be called a racist or extremist, or some other derogatory term. But the silent majority hasn't given up yet. Here is good example from my increasingly blue state.

  5. "BREAKING NEWS" Obama policies destined to FAIL"?????

     

    Really?

     

    I dislike our curent president & how he has conducted his 1st & 2nd term. BUT I do not hate him.

    I really wish he would work together with the rest of Washington for the good of our country.

     

     

     

    The only time they ever work together is to spend more money, and to grow the size and power of government.

  6. I want a good game, no blowouts , and good refereeing . Would be nice to see the Seahawks win cause they have no super bowl wins. My team,  the New England Patriots so I'm not biased for this game. By the way I do live in Colorado but not a Broncos fan :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: . All have a good time watching. :bravo: :bravo:

     

    It won't be a blowout, but the Broncos will dominate. Peyton is going to put on a surgical clinic, and the Seachickens are going to be the patients.  :surgeon:  :peace:  :D

  7. I do run of the mill bullion.

    Quite happy with it!

    :twocents:

     

    I remember when Wally Weaver used to post, and he made a convincing argument that we should buy government backed coins. (American Eagles, Maple Leafs, etc.) I decided to check some of my silver rounds, and found one that weighed 34.5 grams instead of 31. I took it back to the coin shop, and they found that it was only 92% silver. So as always, buyer beware.

  8. Divemaster sounds like your having a bad day ...... chill out.

     

    probably the reason why most of the articles (good & bad) on this site are about the US is 95% of the people on here are Americans, so why wouldn't he post an article about the US, it would be of interest to the majority of readers.

     

    I don't post much stuff about the UK as most of you wouldn't bother reading it or just wouldn't be interested.

     

    Sometimes people get sick of the liberal spin that our media puts on the news here. If nobody stands up to it, eventually it becomes the truth. An example is that Republicans are the party of the rich, and Democrats care about the poor. The media has been saying that since I can remember, and if you ask the average voter, they will agree.
