A couple of comments, Ultra long term bonds? Thirty year bonds are under 2%. Are these people out of their minds? At the rate of inflation these low yield bonds will be absolutely worthless in a very short time and will have to be sold at a very steep discount to get some of your money back out of them, only a lunatic would buy these, they are so worthless as to not even be considered a short term parking place for excess capital when you consider the in and out costs of acquisition and sales.. My mattress pays higher yields and is not subject to bail in’s. Follow JWR’s guide lines. Invest in tangibles. I made 18% buy buying a dozen tubes of toothpaste at the first of the year, similar yield on shampoo, dog food etc. Canned chili at $.88 on sale, regular price $1.38. I recently bought 50 lb. bags of Pinto Beans at Cash and Carry for just a little over $16 (normal price is $34.) How’s that for high yield investment advice, and I didn’t charge you a brokerage fee or commission.
Joe is a very smart man! Tangibles are a great hedge for preserving your life and your wealth.
We don’t know for sure what lies ahead,but many of us don’t have a good feeling about the future.
You can never go wrong investing in long term stabile food stuffs,as well as a reliable water source,medical supplies,and personal security equipment.
Precious metals are absolutely the best way to preserve wealth,and possibly be the only thing with purchasing power when a world wide financial reset occupies.
I don’t know how to react to the “Bitcoin Crowd”. Should we laugh at them,or feel sorry for them? How can you put your hopes in something that exists only in the imagination,and is not backed by anything?
Yes, I agree with Joe’s comments. Also, I do not believe anyone in their right mind would purchase 100 yr bonds because it is equal to throwing your money away. So, I ask myself, why would so called business experts tout such a thing, that they themselves would not purchase? My guess is that it is to acquire other people’s money for free. My gut feeling is that they will invisibly get pension plans and similar ententies to buy them without our knowledge or ability to prevent it.
The real return on these Ultra Long bonds is going to be to vulture capitalists,when the value of these bonds goes to near zero they will be bought up and the new owner goes to a friendly court and the court orders the bonds to be paid off at face or better(reverse haircut). Argentina sold these not to long ago and were bought up,they must have looked good compared to negative return alternatives
NJ has no gun shows. Lucky to find a gun store! PA does have shows just across the Delaware River and many from NJ attend those.
We live in interesting (and stressful) times don’t we! I have always been taught and think it’s worth remembering, where investing in anything is concerned it follows that one simple rule should provide guidance.
Unless and until you have physical control of anything, be it paper money, gold/silver bullion/coin, tangibles, etc. You have nothing! Any sort of promissory note, no matter it’s past reliability, is simply only worth the paper it’s printed on. It has no actual value other than the trust placed upon the makers and holders. Trust I might add, that in our present day, is failing rapidly.
Throughout history, actions have always trumped words. Ronald Reagan got it right when he stated an age old adage – Trust – but verify!
We must put trust in our fellow human beings, but that trust must be backed up with honorable actions. At least that’s my view on getting along in this world..
The low interest on the 30 year bonds is simply a hedge against zero interest rates. i.9% sure looks good compared to zero. We’re not at zero, yet, but it is coming to a Central Bank near you, and relatively soon.
On BREXIT and the Euro. BREXIT will be the best thing that has happened to the British in a very long time. It will also be the the worse thing that has happened to the EU and the Euro since it came into existence. The ECB knows it and that is why they fight so hard to keep it from happening. Also that is why the elitists in Britain are fighting so hard to make it stop, they see their corrupt bribes from Europe coming to an end. Like all too many politicians and bureaucrats, they fear the loss of their power and their ill-gotten gains.
Buy nickles, lots and lots of nickles, before it’s too late.
Finally, on the national debt: Hold on to your seat, we’re in for a very wild ride.
I forgot. Have you noticed that the gold/silver ratio is starting to tighten.
Looks like they moved the NYCKS to NJ around 2013 due to NYCs unfriendly knife laws. Don’t blame although I would have gone to PA personally. I guess Jersey City is closer to airports etc.
Two or three years ago JWR said buy rhodium. For grins I bought two from the Baird mint for $650.00 each. Today on Kitco to buy one is $5,135.00. I wish I had bought a truck load.
