In late 1978, I spent over $500 on courses about Uranium. As a geologist, I was going to strike it rich prospecting and discovering uranium prospects. Then in 1979, an incident called Three Mile Island happened. The uranium market dried up.
When gold hit $800/ounce in the early 80's, I took all kinds of courses on geochemistry, and different types of gold deposits. Soon, the price collapsed. See a pattern developing? I made my fortune evaluating mineral deposits, but in May, the price of silver went up 27 percent. With the uncertain economy and the cheapened U.S. dollar, gold and silver have been pushed to tantalizing highs. I gave away my sluice box years ago, but may get another one. Anyone into panning, prospecting, or mining? |

Better to wear a priests collar and carry a six-shooter. Then you've got both the mothers and daughters falling for you.

Funny you posted this today. I was speaking with my wife's uncle last night and got to talking about the economy / investments. All of his life, he's been putting 10% of his savings into gold/silver. And lately he's really happy he did, with the steady incline in value. He's one of those people that has always been practical and diversifies his investments and he's done well. I always enjoy talking with him and listening to any opinions/advice he's willing to share.
