The tale of two markets is a story I’ve gone over time and time again. It is a story about lies and deception, truth and honesty. The first market I speak of is the paper market in precious metals, which is highly manipulated, full of corruption and sadly, currently controls the price direction of precious metals. The second market that I am referring to is the real, honest, physical markets, which is based on a tangible asset and represents true, honest money. This market will one day break free of its paper masters shackles and move upstairs to the big office, where it will be the one dictating the price directions of precious metals. It is not hard to see these two markets in action if you following the precious metals markets even with mild interest. For those, like myself and many of you reading this, who follow on a much more consistent and in depth basis, then it is blatantly obvious. For years now, the paper manipulators have kept an effective cap on precious metals, this includes both gold and silver, who have seen their true price kept under lock and key. This occurs despite the continued growth in demand for the physical product, a product that is increasingly harder and harder to find, and more and more scarce. Common sense would tell you that this beach balloon, that is being kept under water must one day rush to the surface and smash through its artificially created ceiling. Common sense would be correct. The straw that is going to break the camels back will be the physical market. Whether this is through an increase in demand due to a crisis, a failure to deliver by one of the major bullion exchanges or simply naturally, it is going to happen. The manipulators will do everything that they can. They know that to keep the system running that they created based on fiat money, a system that has made them fabulously rich, then they need to do everything they can to keep real money out of the system. Take heart though, for those who stand by and do the right thing, for those that stack and continue to add to their portfolio month after month, year after year. One day you will be rewarded for counting your hard earned saving not in fiat, but in ounces. One day precious metals will break free and when that happens, look out.
I think everyone will agree whenever I say that money is the root of all evil. In this modern day society, owning materialistic objects and being rich is the only thing people want and that is why the human race is messing up tremendously.
I dont think anyone could argue with that. It's sad but the worst part is that I'm guilty and have to catch myself. The main reason I try to save and grow is for my children and their futures and I've got to keep reminding myself of that when extra money comes along.
I can't speak for the entire race, but I learned a long time ago that it's better to save and invest far more than spend. Spending is what gets you in trouble, whereas wise investing piles up money and gives you freedom and all sorts of other perks.
Stupid politicians wanting a dip in the pool of corruption are on the loose. They are poor economists. Do not know anything. But good leaders should be smart leaders who know the trade of business and making more money by: about creating jobs, making money for the country, getting social security back in safe place for people who have paid into it, putting lobbyists in shame. Donald Trump, a billion-dollars businessman announced that he'll be running for US presidency. Maybe he will be good for the people of America. How about watching his speech?

The actual quote is "...LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Money is just a medium of exchange, something we came up with because the barter system isn't accurate enough. You can't trade 2.5 chickens for a pig, two halves of a chicken ain't worth one whole live chicken. Money is just an extension of our love of trading, which is quite the opposite of evil, it's a tremendous good. But it's a system predicated on honesty. A system that says if you have a dollar to trade with, you earned that dollar by doing something productive. What is evil is people who don't understand this basic premise, people who just love getting/having money no matter if it was stolen or swindled. The LOVE of money,and only money is the evil. When people forsake intrinsically good things (family, integrity, freedom, honesty ect) just to acquire wealth is when the evil comes out.
I am a newbie in trading and I don't want to lose money in false investments. Several times I had received offers of precious metals certificate as investment. I just shrug my shoulders because I really do not know anything about that. I'd rather keep my money in the bank.
