"It's Probably Time to Buy Silver", Revisited.


About two weeks ago (July 30th), I posted the blog post which can be seen at the link below:

http://odracirys.blogspot.com/2013/07/its-probably-time-to-buy-silver.html

I said that it was probably the perfect time to buy silver.  It seems to be coming off its lows, and there's a lot of upside potential.  Also, I believe that the stock market will crash soon (probably this year, maybe next year).

 On July 30th, the price of silver was $19.75.

 Today (August 15th, 2013), the price stands at $22.06.

 That's more than an 11% gain in two weeks.

 In other words, if you'd invested $1,000 in silver then, you'd have gained more than $100 by now.

 Here's the good news.  I foresee silver going up into the 30s by late this year or early next year.  And I think that in a few years, silver will be up past $40, $50, you name it.  The thing is, when there is inflation (as there will be), then the prices of most commodities make higher highs, including silver.  But I believe that silver is special because people recognize it as a way to invest money.

 Anyway, that's all for now.  Don't sue me if you buy and the price goes down.  I'm almost sure that it won't happen (substantially, though in the short term, it could go down a little bit).  I believe that the trend for the rest of this year will be up.

 But don't invest just based on this.  Do your own research.

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph Hitler and Cecil Rhodes cannot be compare

Inconvenient History – The Barbary Slave Trade

Once upon a time, slavers ravaged the coastal towns of the European continent. Eventually, the response to that would include clear proof that the United States is not founded on a religion. Soon thereafter, European imperialism would become the driving force for the abolition of slavery around the world. Continue reading to learn more. The Barbary Slave Trade is a relatively small part of the Arab Slave Trade, which itself is only one part of the Islamic Slave Trade (which besides Arab slavers, includes Turks enslaving Europeans and Africans, Muslim invaders of India and Sub-Saharan Africa, Malay enslavers of local minorities, and other Islamic slavers). For example, the Arab Slave Trade may have enslaved up to 18 million people over its span (not including those born enslaved), while the Barbary Slave Trade enslaved some number over 1 million. Bear in mind that this number is three times the number of enslaved people (roughly 388 thousand) sent to the area of the United Sta

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I
