Money Is A Form Of Social Control And Most Americans Are Debt Slaves

KDakotaFund — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:35:17 GMT

Is America really "the land of the free"? Most people think of money as simply a medium of exchange that makes economic transactions more convenient, but the truth is that it is much more than that. Money is also a form of social control. Just think about it.

What did you do this morning? Well, if you are like most Americans, you either got up and went to work (to make ...

The Fed has announced that it will buy $40 billion a month of new mortgage-backed securities for an indefinite period.

The central bank also said it will re-in...

Peter Grandich - Not There Yet (Market Update, August 22, 2012)

KDakotaFund — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:49:36 GMT

Gold – Once again we’ve risen close to a key level for gold but I must remind some “yet again” we’re not in a new up-leg until if and when (more like when)we get two consecutive closes above $1,650. Gold’s technical picture is quite bullish but rest assured the “bums” shall attempt one of their raids as sure as Canuck fans are already getting their Stanley Cup-2013 hats ready.

Gold and Silver – Both gold and silver have entered not only key support areas, but are recording some of the most oversold readings in quite some time. This is without a doubt the most bearish overall mood I felt since gold bottomed at the start of the millennium. While there shall be no quick fix and the pain can linger awhile longer, the “mother’ of all bull markets is far from over. I think...

Bowles: US Faces ‘Most Predictable Economic Crisis’ Ever

KDakotaFund — Thu, 03 May 2012 17:34:07 GMT

The United States is facing a massive economic crisis that is both predictable and avoidable, says Erskine Bowles, co-chairman of President Barack Obama’s deficit-reduction commission.

According to Bowles, 100 percent of the tax revenue coming into the Treasury in 2011 went right out the door to pay for mandatory spending — such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security — and t...

Daily Reckoning - Bashing Buffett…Once Again With Feeling

KDakotaFund — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:25:05 GMT

[This came out a couple of weeks ago, but I've been so busy it took until now for me to finally get around to reading it. Well worth reading, in my opinion.]

“Right now bonds should come with a warning label,” opines Warren Buffett in this year’s letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. That seems like a reasonable idea, but why stop there? Why not slap a wa...

Peter Grandich - It Feels Like Not Even Lipstick Will Work Now

KDakotaFund — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:05:42 GMT

To say the junior resource market has been “acting like a pig” is an understatement. To say simply I’ve been wrong about them being undervalued only irritates those already wishing they hadn’t purchased… (just ask my wife—I would, but she stopped speaking to me after looking at our last brokerage statement).

It’s about 25 years since I first started speculating (gambling) in the junior resource market, and I c...

JIM ROGERS’ TAKE ON GOLD

KDakotaFund — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 11:06:14 GMT

Gold is about to have its first down year in over a decade.

At least that’s what legendary investor and billionaire Jim Rogers suggests. Rogers is considered one of the best commodity investors in the world. He was buying gold before 1999 – when prices were below $300 an ounce. Today, gold prices are over $1,600 an ounce.

As he told me this week, he thinks it’s due for a bre...

[I don't necessarily agree with the article, but with so many gold bugs here I thought they'd find it as interesting as I did, plus I do like the author.]

It's hard to imagine the public's view on precious metals back in the early 2000s, back when companies like Sun Microsystems, and InfoSpace still dominated investor attention, oil traded at $30 a ba...

In case you hadn’t noticed, the United States is a really weird place. Not that “weird” is always bad. Sometimes “weird” can keep life interesting. But without a doubt, the United States is one of the most unique nations in the history of the world. Some of the weird facts about the United States listed below may be difficult for you to believe.

Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs - Greg Smith

[Op-Ed piece in today's New York Times that is generating a lot of buzz, and a good, interesting article, in my opinion.]

TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm — first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London — I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its cultu...

Loonie Support Grows in Iceland as 70% Back Adopting Canadian Currency

KDakotaFund — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:16:35 GMT

[I know both Peters that I follow prefer the Canadian dollar to the USD (especially Peter Grandich), I was really surprised at this article.]

Iceland appears to be increasingly open to adopting the Canadian dollar as its official currency, with Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir warning over the weekend that the country’s own extremely volatile currency system “c...
