Rusty writes for Investor’s Daily Edge. Since 1993, Dr. McDougal has focused almost exclusively on gold, silver and resource investing. He has a particular affinity for silver and has studied virtually everything available on the topic since 1994. Today, Dr. McDougal’s personal portfolio is a virtual mutual fund of natural resource exploration and development companies.
Americans should have been in the streets to reclaim the country long ago. Patrick Henry and his fellow patriots are turning over in their graves about the present day USA. The savvy folks I talk to on a regular basis are exceedingly pessimistic that our blessed republic can pull out of this present financial, economic and political tailspin. The US as we have known it is on the ropes.
We recently had an IDE editorial meeting in Delray Beach. I got a sound reminder of the diversified talents represented by your IDE editors at this get together. There was clearly an air of excitement and anticipation regarding ways to navigate the present economic and financial mess.
The silver market is showing signs of bullish strain and an incredible opportunity is being presented to you. I’m a staunch silver advocate and it’s time for an update right now. Silver stands to outperform gold as the long term precious metal bull market continues to unfold.The price of silver, along with gold, is kept under wraps by officials of the New York COMEX market, aka CRIMEX. The old boy network which runs CRIMEX have whipsawed the market in their desired direction for decades and profited accordingly. These actions are government sanctioned because precious metals are competition to un-backed fiat money. State mandated fiat is so weak and poorly designed that it cannot stand competitors.
Yes, gold is on sale. You don’t have to pay $950 plus a premium to buy an ounce of gold. You can buy gold in the ground for a fraction of its normal price. The same holds true for many other essential natural commodities like silver, oil, uranium or copper.This opportunity has been brought your way by the same thugs that imploded global stock markets in 2008 via an historic combination of fraud and greed. Yep, they did a number on the commodity market as well as the associated stocks were decimated across the board. Select resource stocks are now outperforming.
By now, you have surely heard that our elitist banks passed their recent government sponsored “stress test”? Forget about it! Relying on this incestuous bunch to grade themselves is like putting Madonna in charge of screening convent applicants. Take no comfort in shams of this nature.
You may have noticed that most of my articles are pretty in depth and lengthy. A fellow IDE editor recently pointed that out and issued a challenge … “I bet you ten bucks you can’t write a one page essay.”
The Fed pulled out its “nuclear” option last week when it announced coming purchases of $300 billion in long term Treasuries (and other similar extravaganzas). This is an act of total desperation.
