AP/Excite ^ | 11/6/14 | MATTHEW CRAFT

Inflation remains tame, the dollar looks strong and Americans are increasingly confident. Even fears that the Federal Reserve would set off another financial crisis have faded as the central bank ends its effort to pump money into the economy.

I thought it was about the toothpaste, at first. Then I thought it was going to be about Obola.

Oh well.

Look at the long term historical rise and fall of prices before you decide.

Do not use PMs as investments.

Gold is a preserver of wealth in time of currency devaluation/destruction.

If you don’t need some of your cash, converting it to gold might be a good idea now, but only after you’ve taken care of your other needs looking forward to a currency crash.

No, they are predicting gold to keep falling for the next couple of years. Time to SELL gold.

“If you’re not as scared anymore, you might be fine putting some money in the stock market,” Paulsen says. “It’s all about fear turning to greed.”

Didn’t take far to find the truth, with QE supposedly ending, they need all the suckers they can before they crash it all down again and fleece the public. There wouldn’t be any manipulation going now would there? nah not from wall street.

In certain political circles, people were advised to stock up on gold, guns and ammunition, Gabriel notes. "From an investment perspective, they would have been better off just buying the guns and ammo."

Got the guns and ammo covered.
