Stock market hits highs while PMs get slammed, but...

[jim4silver]

Not all is well in sheepleland. Just saw that this year's first quarter GDP was revised to -1%. That's right, we cannot even have a positive GDP here recently, yet the stock markets reach new records.

I read that some of the companies whose stock is rising lately are laying off loads of workers and using the saved money to buy back their own stock, which makes the sheeple want to buy more of their stock.

Can anyone tell me how as a country (and our economy) we are in any way improving in light of such things? If less people are employed it means there will be less spending (stimulating) of the economy, and it doesn't matter one bit how profitable any given company is.

It does amaze me how the current stock market climate is different than when I watched stocks years back. Today the focus is always THE FED. What will they do? What will they not do? Where will they set interest rates?, etc. Never do they talk about US debt, unfunded gov liabilities, record numbers of folks on welfare and gov disability.

Yet, while all of this is going on the two forms of real money for thousands of years is looked upon by the sheeple (and some former PM bugs) as worthless. Talk about a world turned upside down.

All my opinion.

And one day it will correct it's self. Maybe in a few years, maybe for my kids. My silver stacks will there when it happens.

A balance anywhere? Tangibility of an asset is greater that a paper in ones hand. P.M.,s value can be manipulated to a point but between paper and tangible exists a trick that borders on illusion. A receipt vs. goods. Portability/liquidity is assured for physical bearer. Diversify conservatively but have something of substance to fall back on besides receipts.The wheel been invented,ride on top or get squished trying to do what its not designed to do. Gamble money,lose money. Try to get more out of a market than the majority can and face results for reason of the wheel. A casino is going to favor the house. That,s what its for despite an occasional big winner. High stakes the same as low,don,t bet what you can,t afford to lose on luck.
