Precious-metals ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) are risky. Here’s why: Banking cartels created the gold and silver futures market primarily to manipulate their prices and keep them artificially low. For decades, short-term futures and spot prices have been disconnected from the forces of physical supply and demand. Gold and silver ETFs do not trade precious metals. They trade promises (contracts) to do so. Typically, sellers have very little bullion on hand but they promise to acquire it if buyers actually want to take physical delivery when their contracts mature. Most of the buyers are speculators, not users of precious metals, so they prefer payment in dollars, so most of the trades are merely a form of gambling. However, if many buyers really want physical bullion, this forces up the price as sellers bid against each other to obtain the real thing. If this rise in price is beyond the ability of sellers to honor their contracts, they declare bankruptcy, and buyers lose their money. This is what caused the recent collapse of MF Global, which was a reality check for many bullion buyers who now insist on physical-delivery only. Seeking Alpha 2011 Dec 27 (Cached)

The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. “Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?” He promptly replied, “No Ma’am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun.”

Gun-control advocates say that those who have guns are compensating for something. I guess that’s true. I am compensating for the fact that I am smaller and weaker than most violent criminals.

Gun control is based on the theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.
