My Auntie Paranoia told me it was not a great idea to shop there, regardless of the bargain. Past experience has never lost me any money, but it has lost me a lot of time and sleep trying to straighten out what appeared to be intentional “mistakes” that never seemed to be in my favor. My wife, more of a gambler that I am, still makes an occasional internet bargain buy and we have to include it in our nightly prayers, hoping it will all end as we anticipated, with the account reduced by the correct amount and the merchandise delivered with no damage in a timely fashion. We’ve had a few things where we forgot to make sure we were on a secure site before entering card numbers etc, and we’ve had instances where, after entering the items, the company asked US which charge card we wanted to use this time, and they already had the card numbers from previous purchases.

Being kinda paranoid, I don’t really like them quoting ME my card numbers they have kept on file for the last 18 months. It makes me think, “what could possibly go wrong with that situation?” I’m sure the illegals they hire or contract to make these transactions are perfectly trustworthy, don’t you think? Me Neither! ;o)

I think I’ll stick with Garage, Yard, and Farm sales, and whenever possible, pay with my SNG!  ;o))

Did you hear we had a tornado in Scotts Valley. Not to close but lots of rain in these parts so hopefully the drought is over.  F1, safe if your in a building away from Windows but the cars went airborne and trucks turned over.

Right, it was a joke though.

That lesson, I wasn’t gonna get a book was I.

Your probably guessing right about inflation related. Only good thing is it tells you something going on if you didn’t notice it before and if there’s something you can do about it to prevent it from getting worse with diet or supplements. That’s one good thing about Hawaii, the temperature doesn’t change too much. If political stress is low of generally healthy you can live a few yrs longer where there isn’t a big change in weather or stay out of it. Last there along time ago people in Aruba a poor little country had a longer life span than Americans.

Yeah but I bought a book on how not to let people pretending to help scam you and it still hasn’t come in yet and it’s been awhile.

The thing that is unfair is if I had tucked 50 dollars under the mattress for decades and brought it out to spend, I should be able to deduct a long term cap loss.

Me too! Give it a try and you will find it comes back 10 or 100 or 1000 fold. Helping others is what has made my life what it is….a beautiful life of pure Silverngold.

Again … right now … unless Florida goes out on it’s own (or joins another union – which is very possible down the road as the commies continue to turn the screws) … Federal law is Federal … applying to all states … and Florida law applies only to Florida.

So no State taxes … like they have in New York and California … but Federal taxes still apply.

They want to suppress gold and silver … so expect tax breaks on crypto before you will see that on PMs … not that anybody should expect that as crypto is their tax cash cow.

Cheers mate

If I only had a dime for every time I heard it’s coming soon in pm’s.

Regardless, there’s no real excuse for me at least to buy pm shares anymore. Just not worth the headache. We’ve had a decent year in the metals, just don’t want to give much more of it back, even if the losses don’t affect the stack.

Another argument that no cap gains will be due.

Well … you could jump up and down if that helps.

Better than losing money due to impatience, greed, and/or jealousy.

Not very Christain.

Cheer up … it’s coming soon … and it will last a long time when it does.

Do something that makes you happy.

Do something nice for someone else.

That works for me.

The commies would never freely allow that IMHO.

It doesn’t read that way because it can’t.

States only have limited power.

Life is just too good for da boyz and girls in the Beltway.

CBDC would be real nightmare! I hope there would be enough opposition to stop it … otherwise I’m sure the gov couldn’t resist using the power it gives them … electronic chains!

“Goldbacks” I haven’t heard much about those. I don’t know what the advantages would be over phyzz?

Cheers

By recognizing it as legal tender it would also make it legal tender under federal law.

That’s right – in fact your Federal taxes would be due no matter what state you live in – unless they successfully separate.

Of course, the commies would be all over that and squash ‘the rebels’ if they can I am sure … so it better involve a lot of people and power.

It’s called civil war.

Cheers mate

I would be careful.

In my experience they will continue to ignore them right until year end. (one-day settlement, window-dressing, etc.)

Then, you have profit/deleveraging related selling of tech starting the first day of January.

And lots of tech is being bought on margin, so the draw down on the indexes could be enough to hold PM shares down until around inauguration time in my opinion.

Trump’s honeymoon will over at that point and economic data should get really bad all of a sudden with the commies out of power – but it will be all his fault.

Buying shares is one thing – options are another.

Cheers mate

As I understand it, goldbacks are legal tender in certain states.  So I would think if you bought one at say $10 and later purchased something where the floating goldback value for the one bought had risen to $15 there would be no capital gain due as it is legal tender.  If you resided in a state or country where it was not legal tender there would be capital gains tax as it was an investment.

I’m looking at some short term options on some of the miners – Jan. 17 exp. calls.
Some, not all, seem very cheap. All I can gather is these miners are going to crash, or someone will make some good money going against the grain.

Just wait until they bring the CBDC in here … Constitutional and Goldbacks will look like effing genius.

Funny though … the public doesn’t see that yet … they still think it’s possible to go back to the way it was perhaps … or they are morons and are fixated on crypto (likely).

Big surprises are going to be served up very soon … starting next month.

As for the Goldbacks, I’ve been thinking about it, you could leave them until the Gold / Silver Ratio gets below 30 and then switch into them at the appropriate time depending on how cute you want to get.

Of course, you have the tax to think about … along with other legal issues our friends in the government might want to impose on us.

So, think carefully folks.

Cheers

These know it all politicians who know little to nothing to even some doctors who have to know but misinform, there’s gonna be a fight with the politicians all because there getting money from it. . They should be exposed for what they are and what their doing. It’s like we have between open borders, big pharma ,neocons, any anything that keeps their gravy train going at the expense of everyone else is this giant coup against all of the citizens of the country by a few getting political  welfare kickbacks from the nefarious out to do the rest of us harm.

I believe many of his cabinet members have quit. Canadians here should have a better understanding though. Trump trolled him at Mar-a-Lago.

“Anna Paulina” I’ll have to check her out!

Nuclear from medical went missing in route and container was found empty. Maybe their grabbing it from everywhere.

But the CEO on the video I posted the other day said a nuclear war head that was in Ukraine is missing but was headed to the US and the last anyone heard of it.  That would be a good conspiracy to blame that on Russia. That the global swamp that’s been ripping us off for years is all paranoid for Trump interfering with their gravy train. That brown noser who followed Trudeau probably under the advice of the WEF who cut striking truckers and donors bank accounts off in Canada is jumping ship afraid of Trump traffis is one he knocked off the pedestal of tyranny in Canada.  Watchers are worried about a event around Trump’s taking over next month.

If their is I hope all involved with aiding abeiting unlawful open borders is tried for treason. Even if it’s a inside threat.

“I think we need RFK badly.”

Yeah he better get in! We’re needing him badly! I was thinking he was a lock, now you’ve got me worried.

Can’t believe they’re still pushing the jab. They’re executioners and they’ve gotta be reined in!
