[quote author=45485E444847114C5B290 link=1297965704/4#4 date=1299521711]Numismatics is absolutely NOT what I would recommend. I thought there was going to be a mention of silver in that report, but to my dismay it was only pushing rare gold coins. The first problem I have with this (numismatics) is this is an expert's investment or speculation and requires even more knowledge of numismatics than one already has to study on just with precious metals at the bullion level. The latter already requires that an investor know what they are doing. Rare gold coins are still pegged by the content of gold they contain, therefore the spot price does have an effect on the perceived value of numismatics. The "perceived" value here is key. You can go get your "rare" coin appraised at a million $ and walk around smiling about that all day long. But what one may consider is what the actual value is. And that value is only what another collector or investor will pay for it. And that can disappoint miserably. The fact that this "report" does not even mention silver is so suspect to me that I would not even consider their "advice" on numismatics, period! I would hang up if they called me. The problem with most people who are buying bullion today is some seem to have this idea that all they have to do is just buy it up and when the financial "market" "collapses" they're taken care of. Wrong! Unless the central banks go away completely, fiat currency will remain. I actually don't call what is happening a "market" "collapse" at all. It is more of a "monopolistic controlled burn" than anything. When you own everything and you control prices by manipulation and unlawful mandate, there is no such thing as collapse. It is purely covert confiscation. People who've not studied money will never see price movement as anything other than business greed. Therefore the cry for more regulation, even when it is regulation which creates this false market economy. There is no value in anything unless we have lawful property laws. Most at PAC understand this. The only thing anyone can do in this system is try and read the bubbles and follow them. Unless.... More people kept getting rid of their currency and ignore the government and set up their own system of stable medium of exchange. A black market economy, I suppose. Not unlike what prevailed in the last decades of the Soviet Empire. And of course people ought to understand the laws of economics and money as well as the common law system and the absolute necessity of property rights and laws that recognize them to be upheld by the overseers of those laws. And if these laws are swayed from in even the slightest deviation, those involved ought to be removed from their position of governance. This of course would require many things to occur and one being what PAC prescribes with State Nationality (and this needs be uniformly procured and recognized) and another, not of any less necessity, be the pure study of the aforementioned laws of economics and money. If we had a competitive free enterprise system with a competitive money and banking true market economy, there would not be any real need for monetary policy at all. At least not of the type that we have today. The laws would have to be set to procure a sound system of competitive money and banking which could be satisfied by the natural tendency for the market to dictate what systems are the most stable. And in a truly free market system it is the human action that dictates these needs, not the state. If you want to better understand many of these subjects, go here: http://mises.org/ Also I just want to add this, and with all due respect. There is absolutely nothing sinful about financial literacy. And in fact I may go so far as to state with conviction that quite the opposite is true! If you have no true understanding of free market enterprise, which includes the study of money, and of course you admonish a free market enterprise system as a viable option by way of this type of ignorance, you will be doomed to face the arbitrary manipulations of those who not only understand it, but monopolize it due to the fact that the ignorance of the general population consents to this very manipulation. This may be a paraphrase to something I've seen somewhere before, so if I am plagiarizing, hopefully the original author will be flattered. The idea stuck: "Nothing is more detrimental to any society than the ignorance of money" and the resulting machinations created by the manipulators and opportunists of this ignorance. These monopolists can and will manipulate the laws in their favor. Law would otherwise preclude them from doing so. But the ignorance of money, as well as avarice and the narcissistic tendencies of those in power, along with public apathy, allows the governing bodies to be duped, or bribed, into relaxing their position and allow the embryonic stages of decay to be introduced into any system of law. It is for this reason that government must be kept rigidly to limited powers...kept in a cage, if you will. Therefore the knowledge of law as well as finance ought be studied and known and held to the utmost standards by human action. Courage of conviction is also a must for a people to hold to these values...so long as they have values. *(Emphasis mine on the rest after the quote)[/quote]
