If you wanna buy gold at these prices feel free to do so, but know that the commodity markets are among the most manipulated out there.

If I meant commodities, I would have said "commodities." I did not.

Then feel free to back up the truck and fill her up. For future reference the Spot price of gold is $3240.49 currently.

My question is a bit off-topic: I agree with the caption, but this photo itself is from a re-creation scene, right? From what I have read, Jackie was climbing onto the rear deck of the convertible to retrieve the top half of JFK's head that had been blown off by the gun shot bullet from the front, not scrambling to escape (she could have escaped more easily via the side door), so his face couldn't have been complete in this photo if the photo had been taken when the assassination itself took place. Yeah, the real event/scene was a lot messier.

I don't know if that photo is original or not.

I always doubted that she wanted to retrieve anything. Just seemed like she wanted to GTFO of there.

You know what's not manipulated?

YAMS!!!

Lyndon Johnson's failed wars (Great Society and Vietnam) as well as the oil shock are reasons why interest rates increased from 1960s to 1981

When money is hard cold pure silver metal, it cannot easily be counterfeited in mass quantities. This prevents the cartel of private banks known as the Fed from enslaving everyone by constantly stealing their money.

...and in 1933, they confiscated that $20 dollar.

that one ounce gold coin can now buy 1000 gallons of gasoline

it was a smart investment choice to buy that $20 gold coin in 1932 and pass it on to your heirs

Yes. And NO PAPER for wages and salaries, the metal only.

Businesses and Banks are free to have "Gold Backed Paper". But are not allowed to pay wages, salaries, and contracts worth less than $2000 in paper

I visited Israel in 1985 when I was studying in Austria. I remember the inflation was insane, and everyone wanted dollars.

I switched the last of my dollars in an Armenian carpet shop, then went to buy my airline ticket back to Greece, where I could use my rail pass to get back to school. But they wouldn't sell me the ticket without proof I'd changed money legally. Shit. Had to go back to the shop and they gave me most of my money back, like 90%. Then I could buy only a standby ticket, but it worked out OK. Dunno what would have happened if I had not been able to leave.
