Stack Silver and remember that the big picture confirms that time,
government spending, massive increases in debt, war, and political stupidity
are all “on your side,” making that stacked silver more valuable.
Look at our financial world over 30 years from 30 miles high – the BIG
PERSPECTIVE.
- Global debt exceeds $200 Trillion and is increasing
rapidly. It will not be repaid at current value, and in the unlikely
chance it is repaid, those future dollars, euros, yen, whatever will
have been deeply devalued. Debt created to fund current
consumption, instead of productive investment, is dangerous.
Excessive debt is deadly.
- Global spending on war, militaries, invasions, weapons
and so much more is huge. Net productive investment and value produced
from those expenditures is effectively zero. Worse, wars are
fought with borrowed “money” and the increased debt demands additional
future revenue allocations to pay interest. Our future will be
more and more debt.
- The war cycles are accelerating. War creates
more debt, more commodity inflation, less personal freedom, and more
profits for bankers and the military-industrial complex. War
will become more common and far more costly.
- The process is simple – generate more warfare and
welfare, more debt, more printed currencies, higher prices, more
propaganda telling the populace that war is necessary, and repeat. It
works, so don’t expect change.
Break the cycle in your life!
First, look at US population adjusted national debt and the smoothed
annual price of silver for the past 30 years.
Then look at US population adjusted national debt and the annual price of
crude oil for the past 30 years.
Simple Conclusion: National debt increases
inexorably – by 9% to 10% per year, each and every year, and will until the
system is forced to reset at some undetermined future date. Silver and
crude oil prices will also increase, but very erratically. They are
currently quite low. Note these examples of large moves in crude oil
and silver.
Yes, crude oil and silver are notoriously volatile, opposite to the
inevitable government debt increases or the election of the next big-spending
but impressively sincere politician.
So Stack Silver and remember that the big picture confirms that
time, government spending, massive increases in debt, war, and political
stupidity are all “on your side,” making that stacked silver more valuable.
No, it will not go up every year – as proven by the last four years of
brutal correction in the ongoing silver bull market, or the last year of ugly
correction in the crude oil market. All markets boom and bust, in
variable cycles. Silver has been crushed for four years and will, in my
opinion, rally substantially in 2015 and 2016.
Your stack of silver does not care that the powers-that-be have been
manipulating the prices of gold and silver downward, or bonds and the S&P
upward, because from the big perspective, silver prices will drive much
higher, along with national debt, and most other prices.
KISS: Keep It Simple – Stack!
KISS: Keep Investing in Stacked Silver!
KISS: Kindly Ignore Social Stupidity.
KISS: Kleptocracies
Invalidated by Stacking Silver!
Buy Low, Sell High. Silver prices have been crushed – a gift from
the financial powers-that-be to the patient stacker. Yes, the
correction has persisted longer than most “silver bulls” thought possible,
but the value in silver remains, and the investment potential has increased
in the past two years.
Final question: Would you rather possess a stack of silver
eagles, or a stack of $20 paper Federal Reserve Notes, issued by a dodgy
central bank and backed by nothing but full faith and credit of a government
in obviously shaky financial condition? Repeat the question
using euros, yen, pounds, or pesos and you are likely to come to the same
conclusion. Trust real money, real silver, in your possession or
preferably in secure storage outside of the banking system.
Repeat: Keep It Simple – Stack! Governments borrow and
spend, debt increases, and commodity prices inevitably follow. Silver
and gold have been money for thousands of years, and still are.
Paper substitutes have all failed, either slowly or rapidly, and they will
continue to fail, unless governments and central banks responsibly manage the
value of currencies (NOT likely).
