1. RE: Nickels- Maybe they’ll start making ’em outa wood! LOL. I’ve heeded your warning and have been culling them from change for a few years now,

2. You can mine Nickel without a mine, without a refinery and without risk. Just go to the bank and get $20.00 in Nickels every week and put them away for the inevitable rise in the price of Nickel.

   A Nickel is 75% copper and 25% Nickel, that 25% Nickel is the key. All you have to do is sell the Nickels. And it only cost $0.05 each. You cannot lose any money.

   A nickel is the only coin in circulation that is the same metal content as it was in 1866, but not for long. When the mint changes the metals in the Nickels many will say IF I ONLY HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS COMING. And in the event that nothing happens to the Nickel what have you lost.

   Anyone can do this rich or poor, an investment that can not lose any money.

3. Re: China

   When NAFTA was passed more than two decades ago I remember being decidedly undecided about whether it was good or bad. Read the pros and cons and just could not tell one way or the other.

   I have now concluded that it was bad for the majority of the US but good for a few elites. I believe that for some time many elites have been enriching themselves by selling out Americans and transferring our wealth overseas.

   Is this a John Birch style conspiracy? I don’t know and I don’t think it has to be (although it could be). When Rome was invaded by barbarians I don’t think it was a conspiracy. Rome simply had wealth and the barbarians wanted it and kept the pressure up till they got it. When you have stuff you are a target.

   Now regarding China. IMO (and I am sure there are many who would disagree) Trump has been a disrupter of this economic (and physical but that is not my topic here) invasion. He has had the audacity to put America first and fight to get better deals for the majority of Americans. This is a Battle Royale. There has been substantial effort put into the propaganda of “free trade” and our current economic arrangements have to be disrupted to make any changes to the current status quo. These disruptions will hurt the US short term. But IMO they have the potential to hurt China more and I think it is showing. Canada and Mexico gave in pretty quick. Will China? Remains to be seen but I think it is possible to win this Battle because Chinese leadership, while powerful, is not omnipotent.

   I personally believe this trade war (with the southern border issue) is the most important issue for the US to remain the free powerful country we have been. I think this is one of the top if not the top issue in fighting the “Swamp”. Stealing the wealth of the US and giving it away while skimming a portion is the primary motivation of “Swamp” members IMO. The “Swamp” will not give up easily, not because of ideology, but because the have been making themselves wealthy undercutting America.

   This is the War of this generation IMO. And this Battle with China could be the turning point.

   1. Well put and I agree. SWAMP = Skimming Wealth Americans Made for Personal gain.

4. Celente’s warning was timely. Others were early, and now everyone is piling on. The stock market is set to crash hard this fall, just like I was yammering about last month. We saw the cracks appearing in the financial system (D-Bank), and confidence in the financial system (Banking) took a big hit. Sentiment can be difficult to gauge, yet it is the most relevant in over inflated markets. Bonds are a ‘tell’, and the inversion is easy to see, but what is happening with Duestche Bank gives us a clearer indication of the severity, and stage in the progression of the collapse. A combination of factors determine the outcome.

   Folks need to pay close attention the canary’s in the coal mine. This will effects lives and the country far more than the latest scandal. What is about to happen will rock the planet and wake people up in droves. Essentials in the survival stores will disappear quickly after this initial crash.

5. Over the years you have cost me a ton of money. Every time I turn around there is something that you bring to my attention that eats at my horde of fiat. Nickels were one of these items…Yes I have nickels…A God load of them. A pair of boxes of nickels make the best book ends on the planet, and I got a lot of books. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK… I still have some paper to burn!

6. In the event of a financial collapse,the only tangibles that will have any purchasing power will be gold and silver.Stocks,Bonds,Fiat Currency,or any other financial instrument will be used as fire starters,or to wipe your butt.Thats all.
   Physical gold or silver,that you can hold in your hand will be invaluable.In the fantasy world of digital,crypto,or portfolios there is no tangible that can be touched.
   You owe it to yourself and your family to survive! Don’t let them down!

7. Correct me if I’m wrong, don’t nickels have to be removed from service before you can melt them down for profit? I know there was a law, has it been changed?

8. You wouldn’t need to melt the nickels. If the price of the metal content rises the value of that coin rises. If you remember when copper was up to $4.00/lb. There were many pre-1981 pennies bought and sold for 2x-4x the face value of the coin. Same as the pre-1964 90% silver coins that are worth metal content value versus face value.
