| Hyperinflation - USA Gold |
The Nightmare German Inflation  |
| Hey, Mr. Chairman, in case you haven't noticed, the Federal Reserve already has a goodly supply of oxen!
My father was fond of relating a story about a professor lecturing on geography. A short fellow, he was extolling the agriculture of Switzerland. "In our country oxen are not even as tall as I am. In some countries you see oxen just as tall as myself. But, believe it or not, on the fat pastures of Switzerland there are even greater oxen than myself". For emphasis the good professor stood on his tiptoes and stretched his hand upwards above his head. "We don't believe so!" - shouted someone from the back benches of the lecture theater.Monday, July 13, 2020 |

Real Bills, Phony Wealth  |
| "The masses are misled by the assertions of the pseudo-experts,” wrote Mises, “that cheap money can make them prosperous at no expense whatever.” The damage that this inflationary fallacy has done to our monetary institutions cannot be over-estimated. In spite of efforts by classical and Austrian economists to refute it, it refuses to die. It has been resurrected under many guises, but all with the same error at its core: that printing money can create real wealth.Wednesday, May 13, 2020 |

| My Opinion on Bitcoin |
| Miles Franklin Now Accepts Bitcoin!
Question: Why would Miles Franklin, a conservative and prudent gold and silver business, accept Bitcoin?
Because Miles Franklin wants to serve their EXISTING CLIENTS who wish to “cash out” of Bitcoin into something real, such as gold and silver, which have a reassuring 5,000 year history.
Call Andy or John at Miles Franklin (1-800-822-8080), sell your Bitcoin, and buy tangible gold or silver. Miles Franklin clients know that gold and silver will preserve weaFriday, December 29, 2017 |

| Cryptos may destabilise fiat |
| The assumption in some quarters is that crypto-currencies will replace gold as money, or at least challenge it. This is an error borne out of a misunderstanding of catallactics, or the theory of exchange. It also ignores the fact that beyond a few European countries and North America, gold is firmly money in the minds of ordinary people. I wrote an article on this subject, explaining why cryptocurrencies are not a new form of money, here.Anyone reading this article may wish to read my original aFriday, November 10, 2017 |

| Digging Up An Old Story.. Part II |
| It is the closing of October and the Hollow’s Eve celebrations are in their waning hours. It is in this era of time in which we continue the diggings up of the thesis of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and if the story of the blood sucking vampire was that of a banker. Imo, Bram would have truly been a member of our community, a group that has complete and full trust in Silver and Gold and not the power of print.
I finally got my purchase of “Famous Impostors” written by Bram Stoker back in 1910. The bookWednesday, November 1, 2017 |

| Digging Up An Old Story |
| Last night instead of watching the No Fans Left political program, I decided to watch a 1931 movie starring Bela Lugosi. Being in the Halloween Season and all, I watched the original “Dracula” where the main character was charismatic, kind, considerate, wealthy, and a little off. This movie was epic and the digitally remastered film really showed the viewers a good time.
Bela Lugosi was claimed to have stayed in character for 6 months past the making of the movie and I found out later that he waMonday, October 9, 2017 |

| The importance of randomness |
| The greatest strength of a truly free market economy, where money is sound and does not corrupt prices, is the absence of cyclical action. With sound money, and consumers deciding for themselves their wants and satisfactions, having to choose between this or that instead of deploying unbacked credit to have this and that, there can be no cycle of credit, and no credit-driven business cycles.Central bank manipulation of money is intended to force everyone to act the same way at the same time.

| Malice in WonderlandRecently, I was quietly reading in my armchair, eyes closing and trying to stay awake, and the next moment I was falling down a rabbit hole. After falling into the void, I found myself outside a castle, which can only be described as very Gothic in the darkest sense. A door opened in the castle wall, and I was beckoned in by a tall dark-haired man, who was wearing a long black cloak.He said he was a representative for ME Phistopheles & Co, a firm located in multiple undergrouFriday, January 13, 2017 |

Precious Metals
For the precious metals community the ultimate catastrophe would have the
US dollar going to "zero". Of course, what is not part of this equation is
what happens if industrial commodities rise much faster than the price of gold
or silver. This has happened a number of times and the result has been gold
mining costs rose faster that bullion prices and the industry lost profitability.

| One of my regular readers has raised the important subject of Say’s law, the denial of which both Keynesian and modern monetarists are emphatic.They need this fundamental axiom to be untrue to justify state stimulation of aggregate demand. Either Say’s law is right and state intervention is economically disruptive, or if it’s wrong modern economists are right to ignore it and progress their science beyond it.The basis of post-Keynesian economic stimulation assumes a breakdown between consumptionThursday, August 11, 2016 |
