As I was standing in line at the grocery store, I was generously donating my Precious Mogambo Time (PMT) to educate all within earshot that they are idiots if they are not buying gold, silver and oil, and they were telling me that I was the idiot, and then I told them, no, they were the idiots, and they responded that, no, I was the idiot, and then there was a spontaneous lopsided debate (me against all the them) about who was the most idiotic.

My argument was simple: buy gold, silver and oil to protect themselves against the incredible fiscal insanity of the federal government, which is proposing a budget for fiscal year 2010 for a whopping, I-can’t-believe-my-freaking eyes, $3.8 trillion (in a $14 trillion US economy!), of which a slightly-less-than-whopping, but still in the “I-can’t-believe-my-freaking-eyes” zone, $1.6 trillion would be deficit-spending!!

They did so in 2009 (see below) and will do so again in 2010. www.MunKnee.com; By: Lorimer Wilson; Words: 669

Does your portfolio properly reflect the opportunities that will continue to present themselves in 2010 and beyond?

All you need do is: 1.) invest in the stocks of the companies that mine gold and silver and/or in the royalty companies that buy the gold and silver from mining companies at pre-determined fixed prices or, better yet, and wherever possible, 2.) purchase certain of the long-term warrants offered by some of the gold and silver mining and royalty companies as a means of doubling-up on the returns they provide.
