You make yourself happy by making other people happy. What a novel idea!
Thanks for this great piece of advice. This actually made my Saturday, Dennis M!
BIg Al
Geez, Dennis. I just got 3 great quotes from your comment (and the story). Thanks for sharing (I save these things, kindof like a secret bag of cookies….break glass when needed).
Al,
Glad to see the site back up! Keep an eye out your back window for bumblebees or dragonflies that are really cameras.
Oh man, please don’t even think that!
Big Al
BIG AL AND ALL:
Professor Ryan Jordan at USD was interviewed for the show a while back. FYI, and a heads up – he wrote a GREAT BOOK:SILVER THE PEOPLE’S METAL – FORWARD BY DAVID MORGAN. It is now available on Amazon for under 20 bucks! (No, for all cynics out there – I am not getting a dang cent for the plug 🙂 ) He is an excellent writer with GREAT CLARITY.
BIG AL – I am sincerely requesting a follow up interview with Professor Ryan when you can…..for all our ladies and gentlemen blog participants!
All the best,
Marc
Fair enough, Marc
Big Al
We all know it is necessary to keep in mind the long trend and for me that is where my investments are concentrated. So what do I see as the long trend, my opinion.
1) Debt is NOT being seriously addressed, not by most people and certainly not by most governments. Flight to safety, risk aversion, worry in both Geo-political and Geo-economical issues are whip lashing people around the world. In a nut shell, very few people see things getting better and nearly all see things going bad.
2) Because of the above people in authoritative power are going from one position to the next attempting to find something that will stick in their attempts to make things better. Nothing is working, in fact everything is getting worse not better.
3) Because all the currencies in the World today are fiat, the concept of a safe currency is flavor of the day, constantly changing. Governments everywhere are moving to Capital Controls in their ideas of corralling money and trying to prevent Capital Flight. Ironically and perversely at the same time such Capital Control only causes greater instability and economic decline. I believe we are going to see great changes world wide.
4) Some nations that we never thought would end will end. New nations will emerge along with new world powers. Concepts that people always believed true will be realized as false, such as the understanding of what money is.
5) The concept that “Nothing Is Safe” is increasing and this is the time to step back and really look at the long term 10 to 50 years, and from such view concentrate ones wealth on those things that will be around and in value for the long term. For young people of less than 60, this will be an excellent time to set such plans. For older people it is best to do those things that will keep you healthy and to help those much younger to make their lives better.
Interesting points, Clay!
Big Al
Hi Clay,
Regarding your first point, I could not agree more!
Regarding your secoond point, OF COURSE!
Regarding your third point, another of course!
Regarding your fourth point, I also have to agree.
I also agree with you final point. That is really what life is all about.
Thanks for the comments!
Big Al
Hi Al, I noticed you said canadian zinc will be at the silver summit, not to be confused with canada zinc.
I have been following them for awhile as people I know own this company.
When this company was about 20cents I mentioned to these people First majestic at about $2, great panther @ 25 cents, timmins @ 50 cents, impact @ 50 cents others as well but these are ones I have followed since then and they are talked about here.
Peter Schiff did a video about the NIA, I recieved mail from them about czn.
There is alot of great companies out there competeing for our investment dollars at pretty low prices I think. It might be an idea to remember that czn has not been operating for over 30 years, as far as investers are concerned its always just around the corner. At 1 time I was assured by investers that czn will go to $92 per share as “some guy” said so. Maybe “some guy” is right.
Right now I own great panther, timmins and impact among a few others.
Sounds like a pretty sound portfolio, benb!
Big Al
All you guys who drink Guiness are a bunch of Pansies; you should try Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale, or Moosehead Lager, Great Canadian Beer, now that’s something that makes me go HMMMMMM!
How about, Boundary Bay, North Fork Brewery, Deschutes also!
Big Al
Hi Al, today is a great beer drinking day, outside it is about 42 degrees fahrenheit, cloudy, and perfect for a walk down to the Pub for a game of darts.
Good Advice Machine Gun,
I am actually minutes away from heading down to Seattle to attend the Huskie/Trojan game. (Maybe have a few beers also!)
Big Al
DT…..A reply from a Pansie………Anybody who drinks a beverage with the word LAGER in it……….would not recognize A real ale if a keg hit them on the head.
Like in Lucky Lager!
Big Al
Clay,
Why is it that your comments remind me of Carl von Clasewitz’s offering “War is a continuation of politics by other means.”
When our currency is debt then how do we pay down the debt without destroying the currency? Another way to look at it is under our current monetary mayhem system we need deficits and debt to perpetually expand or the debt based currency will collapse.
Dennis: I have not read Carl von Claseqitz, maybe I should.
As you know the current debt based currencies have morphed into debt based economies, so it is impossible to grow one to pay off the other. This would explain why we see debt based currencies dying along with their economies. Such a downward spiral causes Capital flight quickly followed by Capital controls. Capital Controls and punitive enforcement by agencies like the TSA, IRS, FBI, further decrease economic output which increases debt.
Collapse is now guaranteed, and it will happen either fast or drag on for a very long time. The longer it takes for the collapse to happen, the more people will suffer and die because of it.
All around the world people are fleeing from tyranny, and likewise it is becoming more and more difficult to find a place willing to accept refugees no matter what their wealth.
Honestly, I am beginning to think it best Obama gets back in, because Obama will cause a quick death of this entire debt based corrupt system, much faster than Romney.
Clay,
It is obvious you grasp what will in time be obvious to all.
That is…own what you need!
Do not own a derivative of anything.
When the word of the day is counter party risk you want some beans in your pantry.
Dennis: Your right, and I laughed in a not so happy way when realizing that it won’t be funny at all when the majority grasp what will in time be obvious to all. I don’t want to be on the same boat or in same nation when such large percentage of people realize that being on the same side of the boat is whats causing it to sink.
Just listened to Charlie McGrath and Kerry Lutz over at Financial Survival, and Charlie was mentioning that when he asks people who live in New York or similar big cities what they are doing to be safe and they answer such and such investments etc. But when he asks people in the Rural areas of Montana what they are investing in for safety, they will mention their guns and ammunition.
Hey Big Al, did the studio dog get replaced by the studio guitar? 🙂
And how’s that old hound doing?
And I can’t believe that Ron Paul told you that you are not too bright.
Morning Ken,
I assume that his tongue was in his cheek!
The Studio Princess (She does not consider herself a dawg!) is doing great.
Big Al
No, no, Al. I meant the occasional dog barking in the background.
The princess is not even an occasional dog!
Big Al
Suisnrpirg to think of something like that
People that have jobs in the government couldn’t last a day if they went to the real world, but somehow the real world allows these people who are losers to make decisions about how the market should work ( ie; Bernanke) the government has to stop thinking it is smarter than the markets and that change has to come from the people.

I just read a story on Drudge while.
The story reports the fact a courier has lost an undeclared amount of newly printed new design $100 bills. This made me think of the movie The In-Laws. In said classic of comedy the banana republic Central America country of Tijuara was trying to secure currency printing plates. Alan Arkin and Peter Falk are classily funny in pointing out the absurdity of defending what is worthless from being perceived as worthless.

Irish make sure you stock up on home brewing ingredients.
Not home brewing, Dennis M, a still!
Big Al
AL……I have to agree…No good going off half cocked.
Hello Irish Tony (and everyone),
I agree with your advice. With the gold/silver ratio above 50, having a relative bias toward silver is a no-brainer. I am currently back up to 75% silver. I haven’t been at that level since 2010.
When talking about the juniors, however, I still view the gold plays as the better bargain/lower risk. I have a substantial allocation to silver juniors but don’t own nearly as many. It’s good to see that Sean Rakhimov see’s what I see in IMPACT Silver. I’ve held shares for years and am now all topped up again. I actually picked up more for under a dollar not long ago. The problem with the silver stocks is that there just isn’t as many of them to choose from. This is why the better ones never seem to spend much time near book value -even during a nasty correction. Gold juniors, on the other hand, even some great ones, easily go way below book when the market turns down. Some even trade at, or at a discount to the cash they have in the bank. Endeavour Silver trades at about 3.5x book while gold-focused peer Primero Mining trades at 1.2x book -and this is after Primero nearly tripled in just the last few months. Both companies operate in Durango, Mexico but cash-cow Primero is easily (still) the better deal. The silver stocks will really (and finally) come into their own when silver clears $50 for good.
I should point out that I am a former EXK shareholder and current holder of Primero warrants. If anyone else likes Primero, they might want to look at these warrants (P.wt). They currently trade at about $1.50 and expire in July of 2015. With an exercise price of $8.00, they should be in the money very soon in my opinion. The shares traded at $7.92 on October 5th. I expect Primero to trade in line with its (mostly inferior) peers at 2.5x book at a minimum. This means it will double again. The warrants would do far better.
Sorry about the detour. Getting back to the physical metal, owning silver has got to be the easiest, lowest risk way to end up with more gold. I like bars, rounds, ingots, junk -you name it, I have it.
MATTHEW……..Thanks for that great reply……You are one wise cooky.
Matthew!
Where is the SAM HE___ have you been our friend! Great, great to hear from you. NOW, all we need to do is get back Mark A., in the game and we are hole again. :)…BTW, I research and BOUGHT IMPACT on your advice months and months ago
All the best,
Marc
Hey Marc!
Great to see you’re still here. Yeah, that IMPACT is a volatile sucker isn’t it?! I’m not deterred though. The short term is always wild in this sector. The risk is being out, not in, in my opinion. Understandably skittish investors are adding some height to the “wall of worry” that the market is now scaling. We are getting very close to the most exciting phase of the bull market. I think this short term consolidation could be over in the next day or two. The HUI has found support at the 34 day moving average. A quick breach of that level seems likely. If it happens, I expect the 233 dma at 477 to hold on a closing basis. On Dec. 24th, with the Dow at 12,294, I wrote here that I thought the stock market would challenge its 2007 all-time highs of almost 14,200 in 2012. I still think this is likely. I intend to short it if it happens. We shall see…
By the way, like IMPACT, Claude Resources (CGR) also dipped lower than I thought it would. I never thought I would be buying it for .56-.57 but that’s exactly what I did -along with .58, .59, .60, .61, .62, .63 etc!!! I have far more than I intended but I’ll still buy the dips. It’s too cheap. Same for RVS.v, GPD.to, and many others.
Cheers!
Matthew,
Excellent..”professor’ :)…excellent…great to hear from you…….volatility absolutely doesnt bother me! YOU NAILED IT when you said: “THE RISK IS BEING OUT, NOT IN”!!! THAT IS THE MARKET IN A NUTSHELL.
All the VERY best…my friend.
Marc
Did not realize that CGR had fallen off that much.
Neil McMillan is actually a pretty good friend and I think that he is doing a great job as president of Claude.
Big Al
Sean Rakhimov really likes Impact and has for a long time, Marc.
Big Al
Matthew,
Do you have an opinion on Hauldra Silver?
Big Al
Hi Al,
I like Huldra, but let’s keep it quiet until I’m done accumulating it!
Matthew
IRISH!
Remember, though, GOLD is going to become a TIER 1 asset as dictated by BASEL III…so….the upward momentum/macro environment is turning extremely positive very soon for GOLD….diversify within the PM sector too! IMHO. AND this comes from a MAJOR silver bull with a multitude of “benjamins” in the silver game….:)

Hydrogen is a power source that looks to be capable of replacing oil or natgas or any combustible.
Free energy forms has been available since Tesla introduced it to America.
America does not need oil and the whole game is a put up job that is diabolical.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=7T4BUzzUJNg
I love hydrogen, though it is not a source of power, but rather a very efficient storage medium of energy. Problem is, it requires energy to separate into a gas, and takes up a huge volume even when compressed. Making it into a liquid requires chilling it to -260 C, and a lot more energy. Great strides have ben made recently with metal hydrides capable of storing impressive volumes of hydrogen, but are still extremely expensive. Several years ago, Scientific American had an entire issue devoted to a hydrogen based civilization. One article explored the creation of a network of hydrogen pipelines running from nuclear power plants to the cities where it could be consumed.
Ballard sold their fuel cell technologies to both Ford and Daimler,both of which have vehicles that run on hydrogen power.Ballard has fleets of buses running on this technology-ships,locomotives,power lifts,etc..
Daimler has electrics being commercially produced and hydrogen vehicles running:

CAT technology has had vehicles out there running for a decade.
Guess the PTB are not ready to give up their power based upon the US/oil fiat ponzi.

Can someone explain why Canadians are at all interested in who wins the US elections? I really don’t understand.
If Romney wins, Keystone XL will be approved on Jan 21, 2013.
If Obama wins, Keystone XL will be approved on Jan 22, 2013.
Not that anyone wants or needs our stinkin’ oil anyway! And if the Chinese want it, they’ll just buy it in the ground and figure out what to do with it afterwards. After all, it isn’t as if they need the oil today … they think in terms of generations, not quarters.
So, it doesn’t much matter to me.
Interesting question, Bobby!
Big Al
P.S. Maybe they are concerned about possible negative or positive impacts on their country.
Well I doubt who wins our presidential election will have an effect on their economy. Socialism works quite well there.
Bobby,some Canadians are not interested.
Same masters,different weather.
Possibly the funniest movie about fiat currency.
In 1979 General Garcia was going to deliver the world into chaos by printing 300 billion dollars. If you have 1:42 watch a classic.

I still do not understand how you and your guesses can ignore the following facts: austerity does not work, the new money put into circulation goes to big banks that simply turn around and lend it back to governments, most governments have been taken over by Goldman Sachs operatives.
The legitimacy of all western governments is now on the table, “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.” (Romans 13:3) High crimes and treason are not prosecuted anymore…
While accepting the Oscar for best documentary earlier this year, Inside Job director Charles Ferguson came out with a bang.
“Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong,” he said.
I am not really sure, Missive, that our family simply blindly endorses austerity. What I am saying is simply that cutting back needs to happen to an extent. Spending money that has to b e printed into existence simply is immoral.
Thank you for the link, by the way!
Best,
Big Al
The money is simply being printed right now and given to private interest. I simply want it to be given to the people instead, let us decide where it needs to be spent.

believes are different to those who voted them in…………The problem most of the voters dont know the definition of DIFFERENT.
I’ll be fair, Romney has his own problems:
Tarpley reveals that Mormonism, Mitt Romney’s tradition, is not actually a religion but a synthetic ideology sponsored by British intelligence, as part of their campaign of covert warfare against the United States.
The first Civil War took place in 1857 when the Mormons in Utah attempted to secede. Utah was selected as a strategic location which would break the United States in two between east and west.
The Romney family later moved to Mexico to avoid the ban on polygamy in the US.
http://progressivepress.com/book-listing/weird-romney-mormon-takeover
Again Missive, all I can say is that, as a practicing Christian, I completely disagree with Mr. Romney’s personal beliefs.

Re: Segment 8. Big Al, I’m Jewish and I agree with you. American taxpayers were not created to finance foreign wars nor assisting foreign countries. American boys and girls as well as Canadian boys and girls were not created to fight in foreign wars.
The first step is for the US generals to stop insulting Israel a like Gen Dempsey and others to stop kissing the Koran in public and others such as Colin Powell, as Americans were bombing the crap out of Iraq, to tell Israel not to resort to military tactics to end this dispute!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All those billions given to Egypt?? what has that given the US/
And Israel? It could not even beat Hamas nor Hezballa. Americans have not received a good return on their money.
Israel should deport all American an and European journalists and bombs away!!! Media blackout bomb anything and everything in Gaza and West bank. Bring in the cement trucks, pour the cement and asphalt. Palestine? never heard of it.
Call me a cold bastard. I agree with you. No argument there. Problem are all the lib Jews in Congress and Senate: Boxer, Schumer, Levin, Israel, Feinstein,,I forget thh rest. It seems like they will be there until they die. Just like the formidable black caucus and left wing latinos. Such a lovely bunch of coconuts.
I bought 6 ounces of silver when JPM crashed it on Friday. Expect it to hit 32.5 this week or thereafter. Keep your powder dry.
Sen Boxer is angry at Netanyahu for interfering in US politics. Is there anything the US does NOT interfere with??
JPM and HSBC are probably interfering with silkworm production.
James.
Think there will be some more crashing in silver on Monday. I saw this coming and sold all mine Friday morning. Pity Roger didnt do his Fridays market trends a week earlier when it was £699 a kilo. We had a crash in October last year and silver hit the floor in December to $26 I think.
Not saying its happening again but……….. it could. I am staying out of now till Jan 2013.
@James B – Hosea 4: 6 – My people perish from a lack of knowledge.
Have you spent any time in Israel? Do you have family there? Ever heard of the preferential treatment if you are marxist? Or racism within Jews themselves?

The divide and conquer strategy works anywhere people let it take hold. The military industrial complex does not care about the human cost of their profit making ambitions. Go listen to Eisenhower`s farewell address. The middle-east is just a real good pawn in the game.
Yes it certainly is, Missive!
Best,
Big Al
Big Al, agree..let both sides work it out with their own blood and treasure.
Israel, as a sovereign nation has a right to its OWN self-determination–it’s own destiny at it’s own expense. Let them reap what they sow for better or worse. Likewise, for the Muslims. After all, both sides simply discount civilian causalities as collateral damage. Somehow I don’t think it matters to the survivors on either side what type of weapons platform delivered the death blow to their loved ones–high tech or low tech.
You know BJ it is a really bad, bad situation.
First of all, the Jews should never have been given that land. There should have been a better solution. Now they are doing the natural thing – protecting themselves.
Secondly, “Arab” land, and I use the word loosely here, should never have been taken away. Even my Jewish friends agree with that.
I am very sad for both sides!

irish,
Don’t want a fair fight when it comes to defense. A strong defense repels would be invaders.
NO, YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT!
Big Al
Second hand mortar, Gaterman?
Big Al
OTB is hiding in the basement at Fort Knox, he just went to check up on Tony’s last shipment and the Treasury Dep’t showed up unexpectedly to do a quick inventory, I hope he found a good hiding spot. I’m sure he will talk his way out if he is discovered, this won’t be the first time. Those two guys are just like The Hunt Brothers instead of cornering the silver market they are manipulating Gold.
Silver is to Mickey Mouse for their talents.
Forget the petro dollar the world is abandoning with glee.

From Page A11 in today’s WSJ – The Weekend Interview we see that China gets it!?
Zhang Weiying: China’s Anti-Keynesian Insurgent
A fascinating read!!!!!! I strongly encourage the time investment.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444032404578010552215377098.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop
The Article demonstrates that Hayek’s road to serfdom is not a one way street.
A movie type bio…when the son of illiterate Chinese serfs schools the Communists party on malinvestment, free markets, natural law and private property.
Certainly entrenched dogmas do not die quickly.
It could be said that the US is on the road to serfdom and China can be said to be on the return trip.
Pull quote: Mr. Zhang poses a rubber hits the road query:
“Now there are two ways. You make yourself happy by making other people unhappy-I call that the logic of robbery. The other way, you make yourself happy by making other people happy- that’s the logic of the market. Which way do you prefer?”
