I follow the Gold and Silver prices everyday. I do that because I'm an idiot and a Silver Stacker. I don't know why I bother following the prices because it's actually a matter of, "What will an ounce buy?" I know why I stack Silver. It's because our fiat currency system is about to collapse and all through history, Gold and Silver always become money when the fiat currency systems crash and burn. I often laugh at our politicians when they get in front of a camera and act like they have a brain. Hell, they don't have any brains at all because they allowed our money to become fiat currency and the politicians that followed after them let the system continue. Then they spend "OUR MONEY" like a drunk sailor on shore leave. Then they have the unmitigated gaul to tell us how much they are doing for us. The SOB's from both sides of the aisle spend money that we don't have and actually believe that there is no end and no consequences to pay. They act just like criminals who think they will never be caught. I actually had a friend ask me why I didn't become a politician and I told him that becoming a politician was like diving head first into a swimming pool full of shit. Now, getting back to what Gold and Silver will buy. Think about this.... An ounce of Silver will buy you about the same amount of Gasoline today that an ounce of Silver would buy in 1950. The purchasing power of Gold and Silver hardly ever change. Before the Federal Reserve took over our country in 1913, a laborer made about $1 a day and a well paid job was about $2 a day. Before 1913, there was no such thing as inflation. I remember when I was a small child about 1950 and my Father made anywhere from $15 to $25 a week and that was lower middle class. Rich folks made anywhere from $25 to $50 a week. In 1965, I thought that $10,000 a year was a goal that I would never reach. Hell, when I retired in 2002, I was making $4,500 a month before taxes. Today, 22 years later, $52,000 a year is only a decent wage.
