Uh, you can TRADE it for food if need be.But "you can't eat gold and silver..." can't eat digital either FWTW! LOL
But if either goes to zero (unlikely) you still can hold the metal! You still can make shiny things out of it...!
Possession is 99% of the law. YOU own it THEY ( feds) Don't.2.91% of 330 million = 9,603,000 people
let's double that, just because i can...19 million people are gonna lose money because they stacked pm's and didn't do what this guys says they should do...
but mostly he spoke about electronic products, so, i'm not really certain what he's saying....
personally, i'm counting on that confiscation thing, under duress of some Emergency Dictate and we're gonna end up with nothing but i'm gonna consider they will claim, first, anything that says United States on it will have to be returned, as it doesn't belong to us, it clearly has 'their name' on it...
ymmv
"Users on websites in the Google Surveys Publisher Network" - Probably a biased sample not representative of the US population overall, but in which direction I wonder????
Understood. My point is that the above survey results are probably not valid to extrapolate to the population of the US with declarations (or even swags) at that level. The reporting does say "84% of respondents", I get it; but I will bet a dollatr to donuts that the vast majority of readers do not question what that means and assume the results apply to a much wider population - see Buck's analysis aboe for an example. Not pickin on ya Buck, just sayin',Anyone that runs a website and has a Google AdSense account can join the Survey network:

Publishers (website owners) can display the survey code on any page of their website(s):
Anyone can commission a survey and request demographic parameters, but it doesn't appear that you can choose specific websites for the survey or topics/categories of websites for the survey:
Bottom line is that these surveys are only capturing feedback from people that have internet connections and visit websites that are participating in the survey network (so it likely excludes poor folk).
I'm guessing you didn't click the links provided. The survey was one question with four multiple choice answers to choose from:... The survey results MAY be accurate for the tgt audience, depending on survey design, sample size (number of repsondents out of the total population of Survey Network Members), and anlytical rigor; ...
The surveys (both 2019 and 2020) included 1,500 responses (each) from people who answered the survey. It's not "Survey Network Members" who answered the poll. It's website visitors to websites that are in the Survey Network. There doesn't appear to be any way for us to see what kind of websites (and thus what kind of audience) were participating in the polling.Do you own any gold or silver (bullion coins/bars)?
- I don't own either.
- I own both gold and silver.
- I own some silver. No gold though.
- I own some gold. No silver though.
I think a better question would be, What percentage of Americans own precious metals as a part (say minimum %5) of their portfolio?Probably the yahoos who said they own gold mean the wedding ring in their nose or a earring or necklace.
JMHO.
See post #2Someone want to give us the Cliff's Notes version of that video?
Thanky.See post #2
REALLY ? EIGHT FREEKIN" MINUTES ! You need boiled down ? ( Where is the smilie banging his head on the wall when you need it ?)Someone want to give us the Cliff's Notes version of that video?
Right from the title screen, the lurid graphics and exclamation marks, tell me this is going to be agitational, not informational. Someone is selling a product or idea that is dubious.
What is this guy's answer? CRYPTO? CASH?
When something is loaded with EXCLAMATION MARKS! or WEIRD TRICKS headers...I don't even click on it to find out how long it is.REALLY ? EIGHT FREEKIN" MINUTES ! You need boiled down ? ( Where is the smilie banging his head on the wall when you need it ?)
I have to agree with Casey. I'm on youtube overload. Sometimes if you read the video comments you can get a summary of the videoWhen something is loaded with EXCLAMATION MARKS! or WEIRD TRICKS headers...I don't even click on it to find out how long it is.
It's lurid clickbait. He's trying to live off the Gurgle machine...the same algorithm that reflexively censors anything factual, true, or non-Woke.
So, no, I didn't give him any money, and didn't expect him to hold any wisdom.
Getting physical delivery is good advice. So is, taking a daily dump, good advice. I don't need TO BE TOLD THIS VITAL INFORMATION! to understand that.
OH Hell yeah!youtube overload
Andrew McGuire is the worst. I always hope Goldbrix will do a summary. I have never managed to stay awake for a whole show. On the other hand Clif High is long winded but I don't mind. I always learn something new from him.OH Hell yeah!
What can be said in 27 words will take up a one hour U-Toob to say.
