“We are in a big fat ugly bubble, and we better be careful,” declared Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the first of three debates with Democratic rival on Monday.
'We all want to believe that somehow the governments of the world will pull this global financial chestnut out of the fire....will solve the derivative fiasco....will get us out of debt.
We pray that the current joblessness will be solved soon.
But the Big Question is ' can they do it'..
And if they can't do it, what then? How do we survive that kind of financial crisis?'

If the objective data proves that your banking system is illiquid and questionably solvent, then why take the risk and keep all your money there, especially when all you’re being paid is 0.1% interest anyhow?
You can take a LOT of that risk off the table by simply withdrawing a few months worth of savings and holding some cash.
The push to eliminate cash will inevitably push people into cash alternatives including physical precious metals.
Similarly, if you know that your currency is underpinned by record amounts of debt and promises that are impossible to keep, why not take some of that risk off the table with an asset like gold that has a 5,000 year history of preserving wealth?
The most important thing is to have some perspective. The world isn’t coming to an end. Make no mistake, the consequences are severe, especially for the unprepared. But our species has suffered far worse incidents than the collapse of a debt supercycle. Simon Black
from Jim Sinclair the following:
Home security is a matter to be considered by everyone. Home security is not the same as personal safety of home/personal defense. Think of home security as a passive endeavor and defense as active and usually more immediate undertaking. This article does not touch on home and personal safety and defense, but that subject needs to be addressed. This article is only an introduction to Home Security.
Most home invasions occur when no one is home, so the passive security which functions whether you are home or not is the best choice. No one being home makes a burglar feel safer upon entering your home. Make sure all doors and windows are not only securely locked when you are out, but also at night when you are sleeping.

Too Many Bubbles
We are in a paper bubble. A massive paper bubble.
Stock prices are not just at historic highs — they’re at valuations that have been seen only a few times in history, and each time served as preamble to a monumental meltdown.
Bond prices are in the mother of all bubbles because of überlow interest rates that have persisted for nearly a decade now.
The U.S. dollar — a paper asset in that it’s backed by nothing more substantial than the petty whims of politicians — is in a bubble that has seen it rise to a 14-year high

from Jim Sinclair....
I have written and offered proof that we are past the point of no return financially. The collapse is already carved in stone, higher rates will expedite the process. The question as I saw the election is whether we would deal with the coming financial, economic and social ramifications under a true rule of law or not. I suspect we will end 2017 “knowing” many things as “fact” that we only know in our gut now. In fact, if I was asked advice for Mr. Trump, I would advise he contact John Williams and go to the American people with his findings.
Be Thankful For All You Have To Grumble about.

Now.... Let us introduce ourselves....
We, Allan and Lois Crawford, are proprietors of California Coin and Stamp, located in San Luis Obispo, CA. since 1992.
Our business originated in Oakland, CA in 1977 with the specific goal, then and now, of serving collectors....both the beginner and the serious collector.....both buyer and seller.
It was to be also a place where gold, silver and platinum bullion could be bought and sold based on accurate industry pricing.
We planned it to be a store where nice, problem free, professionally graded and fairly priced coins and stamps and currency would be available, along with assorted supplies related to the hobbies .
And of course the customer would be waited upon by a friendly staff....usually the two of us!.
Since then we have helped many....young and old.. develop always good looking and sometimes valuable collections depending on how much has been invested. Educating our customers is always a priority with us....helping them to collect wisely.....
In addition we take very seriously the responsibility to help them to understand why adding gold or silver or both to their portfolios is a wise step especially now in what appears to be an uncertain economical situation facing our country.
What else....oh yes, coins and currency can be submitted to NGC or ANACS for professional grading or authentication through our store.
Now....to end this introduction here is a little bit about the key player in the business...
speaking now of Allan Crawford....
Allan graduated with an Industrial Engineering degree from U C Berkeley in 1952
after serving in the Navy until the end of WW II.
He is a lifetime collector of both coins and stamps....a Life member of the American Numismatic Association, # 981....he is trained in grading coins of all types through ANA seminars as well as a lifetime of experience....he is as well a member of the American Philatelic Society.
He spends as much time as is needed when working with a client, explaining and demonstrating the way a coin or stamp is graded, why it is priced as it is.
And whether buying and selling, you will be talking to an
expert who would also like it to be known that he was an
active Rotarian for fifty years.
So finally when you walk through our door
you will be greeted as a friend
which indeed is how we see you!!!
Hours Tuesday through Friday 11 am - 3 pm

Here are several very nice reviews found on Google:
Susan Crawford: "We took in some jewelry to sell, and fell in love with this little shop. It's sort of like stepping back to a kinder, gentler time (to borrow a phrase). There is a great old guy who owns the shop - Mr. Crawford (no relation ;). When you walk through the door, even if he is with other customers, he will say, "Hello folks, be right with you!" You hardly ever see such gracious friendliness anymore. But it's right here in this little shop, and there's also a lot of neat coins and stamps to look at. Pay them a visit sometime! :)"
"Called and got a message saying that he's open Tuesday - Saturday and that they might be there on Monday afternoon so we showed up about 1:30 on Monday and he was open. A great COMPLETE selection of US and World coins fairly priced. The staff was most pleasant and dug out items from the back which were of interest. I wish that they were open past 4:00 today as I would have liked to have seen more. I will be back on another trip. Forget the other so-called coin/stamp shop in SLO and go to this SERIOUS store. FIVE stars all the way!"
"Came in with thirty dollars, not sure what I wanted. The couple that owns the shop helped me leave very satisfied! There is a wide selection at varying prices, some only a couple of dollars."
Pros: Coins, Numismatics, Service, Atmosphere
"Easy to work with, nice, and very helpful."
"I took in some silver and birth year coin sets to sell, the gentleman running the shop was very kind. Great experience!"

Say’s Law of Markets
(named after French economist Jean-Baptiste Say):
“Products are paid for with products.”
In other words, production is the source of demand.
Demand comes from output, not from printing money.
If you could boost real demand simply by printing money,
we’d all be rich already.

Had you acquired a 100 ounce bar of physical gold on December 31, 1999,
your total out-lay would have been $29,025.00.
The value of that same gold bar today would be approximately $132,800.00.
That could easily pay off a mortgage, provide for a child’s college education, or
buy a great many other items that would change the lives of most people
reading these words.
More than a 4-fold rise in the value of any asset over the course of seventeen
years would be considered a winner.
You will never hear anything like this on mainstream media.....

We should be thankful the dollar has continued
to maintain value, especially given the decades of monetary policies
that continue to challenge its position as a monetary standard for the world.
