My daughter enrolled in a weekly seminar to learn more about money. It is several weeks in length and she’s about half way through.
Today she stopped by saying the lesson last night was a warning not to buy gold and silver. The instructor gave several examples of crisis to support his advice. One was 9/11, saying the victims needed food, medical help, and lots of other things, then saying not one requested gold or silver.
This month I celebrate my one year anniversary blogging and this article is number 200. I can say, Whew!! It has been a very interesting year… Fast moving with national news, because of the election in November, the installation of a new President and a new regime, the recession, the bailouts and tomorrow all the tea parties across the United States. A lot has been happening at a rapid pace.
From time to time in my previous articles, I’ve written a bit about my experience with economics. To many of us the very word, “economics” sounds complex and intimidating. There is a language in the money world that many of us do not understand.
We read articles in magazines, books, blogs and listen to money reports via the six o’clock news. There is bull market, bear market, up-turns, down-turns. There are Keynism and Austrian schools of thought on economics. There is the Federal Reserve, central banks and community banks. There is the Euro versus the Dollar… gold, silver, paper money. And on and on about money and economics.
