SECURING GOLD & SILVER 

Commodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else's religion, but he'll accept his gold.

If the world does well, gold will be fine. If the world doesn't do well, gold will also do fine...but a lot of other things could collapse.

In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value.

A US dollar is an IOU from the Federal Reserve Bank. It's not backed by gold or silver. It's a promissory note that doesn't actually promise anything.

Coin collecting is a hobby for boys, an investment for fathers, and a windfall for grandfathers.

I like gold because it is a stabilizer: It is an insurance policy.
