Psalm
46:10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the
nations,
I will be exalted in the
earth!
11 The LORD of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our
refuge. Selah
Believe
it or not, sometimes I'm slow to listen. God has been bringing this
verse to my mind continually all April.
LISTEN
TO NAGGING BACK PAIN!
For
over a month prior, I had some nagging lower back pain. I was doing all
my usual things to help heal the pain; back bridging, rest, aloe vera juice,
acai juice, arnica pain reliever, tiger balm, yoga stretching, massage,
etc. It was not working.
I
finally went to the chiropractor, thank God for my wife who dragged me there,
which helped so much. The chiropractor also noted that I was probably
in the beginning stages of adrenal exhaustion, and suggested a few things,
since she suffered from an extreme form of it that caused her to gain 100
pounds in a year, yet she was fit her whole life. She said to stop
drinking Red Bull and coffee that have caffeine, to eat frequent meals of
protein and vegetables, and to cut out the carbs and sugar and alcohol.
Also, to get more sleep. I also was supposed to stop working out for
about two weeks. I did all of that, and more, even buying herbs for
adrenal exhaustion. It worked! I feel less stressed, more relaxed
and yet more energetic all day. Amazing. Back pain is all gone,
too.
Don't
get trapped into thinking that you have to live with pain. God gave us
all a wonderful body that is always trying to heal, given the proper
nutrition, herbs, rest, and perhaps even a chiropractic adjustment or
two. So, part of the solution here, was to rest more, sleep more, and
essentially do nothing. To "be still".
Of
course, I could have just listened to the Lord in the first place, couldn't
I?
CHECK
ENGINE LIGHT!
About
a year ago, I upgraded my truck with an air flowmaster designed to give it
more horsepower. But the engine light came on, due to the valve that
wrongly sensed the air flow; it was registering lower air, yet the engine was
being given more air. The solution was supposed to be a screen that was
designed to smooth out the air flow. It didn't work, and I decided to
ignore the engine light, for a while. I finally took my car to the Ford
Dealer, to have them check the engine light, and they recommended removal of
the flowmaster that was increasing the air flow, which could cause the engine
to run too hot. I decided to simply tune my engine back to normal, down
from "supercharged" as I also had it chipped for
overperformance. Eventually, I blew out my carburetor and other things,
which cost quite a bit to fix, and yes, I had to remove the flowmaster as
well.
I
should have paid more attention to that engine light. Or, perhaps, I
should have "done nothing" instead of installing that flowmaster in
the first place.
Sometimes,
doing nothing is what we should have done.
I have
another example, bear with me.
Mineral
exploration companies and mining companies these days are often looked at
like leverage plays that should increase in value faster than the underlying
cheap gold and silver prices. While that is certainly possible, it does
not always work that way in practice, due to inept managements. Why
spend money to produce silver at 600 year price lows? That's simply
foolishness. Why produce silver and reap as profit less than 10th of an
oz. of silver mined, when waiting for higher silver prices can help the miner
earn 90% of each oz. of silver mined as profit? Sometimes, just
acquiring the silver properties, and doing the absolute minimum to explore
them to keep the mining leases, is the most prudent option, and very few companies
are willing to engage in this strategy of "doing nothing", as it
looks like laziness to investors who typically push for "action".
There
are so few companies who are doing it right, that I hardly bother to pay
attention to any of them anymore, and I was researching up to 80 per week in
the past when I started this newsletter.
What
is the point of these stories that highlight the importance of paying
attention to the warning signs, and the wisdom of "doing nothing"
at times?
Higher
precious metals prices are like a flashing "check engine
light". This is why the precious metals are manipulated with so
many paper product alternatives; they are designed to siphon demand away from
the real metal, to suppress prices, so that the larger economy will not know
that something is wrong with paper money; that there is simply too much of it
being printed.
Higher
precious metals prices are like "nagging back pain" to those people
who print $100 bills on 3 cents worth of paper, or who create billions in
bank computer ledgers for nothing. It's going to cause further
problems, unless the direct cause is dealt with; and they are not slowing
down the money they are printing; they are ignoring the back pain, or trying
to cover it up.
Sometimes,
"doing nothing" with your money, such as letting it sit in silver
or gold in your own vault, is the best thing to do.
It
took me about a month of "de-stressing" myself to realize the
applicability of those simple words of "be still" and how
"doing nothing" applies to investing into silver and gold, which
has only been my focus for the last ten years. I don't want to admit
that I'm slow witted, but I realize now that I realize it, that that's pretty
slow.
There
is a time to sow, and a time to reap, and a time to let the harvest sit in the
grain elevators.
The
time to let capital sit still in silver or gold began around 2001, and
continues to this day.
=========
I strongly advise you to get real
gold and silver, at anywhere near today's prices, while you still can.

I
have 2 major resources on mining stocks to offer to you.
First,
look at www.miningpedia.com
It is a FREE comprehensive database of mining stocks. Anyone can update
or enter data, it's like wikipedia.com. Miningpedia has replaced the
"silver stock report" in that it is doing the legwork on individual
stock analysis that I used to do manually. This frees me up to do what
I like best, which is to write commentary. My commentary retains the
name, "Silver Stock Report", but for individual stocks, please see
miningpedia.com.
Second,
I offer a "look at my portfolio" for $50/month; where I share a
peek at which stocks I own, once a month. You can log in at any time,
repeatedly, and also see all my prior months
Please visit Silver
Stock Report for specific
stock picks.
