They need to refocus on numismatics, seeing as how that is part of the title of their flagship coin publication. James |

You know I can't handle that much small print. And from my work experience, I've learned never to rely on one pundit's opinion. You can continue to feed an uncer and wring your hands raw if you like. I prefer to stay positive. It's worked for me for almost 70 years so far through many similar doom predictions. It's off to sell some beer cans this weekend for me. I'll soon see what the economy has done to THAT hobby. |

Yeah, they cram so much other junk into the page that they have to set the text in agate to keep the scrolling to a minimum. If you have IE and a wheel mouse, try doing CONTROL-wheel movement. Up increases the size of web pages on the screen, down decreases it. You may have to recenter the page horizontally, but it's a godsend when viewing fine print.

It's worked for me for almost 70 years so far through many similar doom predictions. Me too, but that's in the long run. The long run is punctuated by occasional downward spikes of varying duration and magnitude. The question for investment money right now is how high will PMs go for how long in the current turmoil. PMs undoubtedly will continue to rise (with their own ups and downs) until their bubble becomes unsustainable and investors start looking for the next big thing.

There is an established grading scale for beer cans but there have been no slabs yet, thank goodness. Back from the show today, the 1000 collectors we had last Feb were down to about 800 this year. Likely an economy effect since collectors come from all over the US and Canada. But on the other hand, the money was flowing like always. Like coins, collectors are becoming more picky about what they buy, but they still seem to have no qualms about plucking down a couple grand on a rare can or piece of breweriana. |

We have a big gun show running this weekend. My brother shared a table, said the attendees were lined up a dozen deep to get in. A sign of the times? |
