Debasement of Canadian Currency - Part 1

In 2012, the Canadian Federal government decided to pull the plug and stop minting Canadian pennies.  Coincidentally in the same year, the benevolent Royal Canadian Mint (a crown corporation, that is a corporation owned by the Federal government) changed the composition of Canadian Toonies and Loonies, going from coins comprised of primarily of copper and nickel, to coins primarily composed of stainless steel. This represents the latest link in a long chain of currency debasement that has lead to the degeneration of the Canadian dollars purchasing power and, in my opinion, the degeneration of Canadian society that is dependant upon the dollar to conduct commerce.

The Long Gun Registry Was Bad... This Was Worse

The Canadian Long Gun Registry epitomizes everything that is wrong with the entire system of Federal Governments.

While there are countless arguments on both sides for and against the Long Gun Registry, perhaps the most important two in opposition to it are:

1.  That the idea was fundamentally based on government misleading to the people (lies)
2.  That the implementation of it shows a flagrant disregard for the cost it imposed on the people (theft).

Precious Metals Weekly Analysis - Week 10 - 9 March 2012

I'm sorry I'm late this week and I'm breaking format.

I FINALLY got a chance to spend some time in my "man-cave" and I've been spending a LOT of time in there this weekend.  I'm quite proud of myself, but I'm STILL not in a state where I can reload... oh well..

I'm just going to put the charts up without much analysis.  I hope you can forgive me - leave a comment if you want my opinion on something or hit up BrotherJohnF blog's at brotherjohnf.com

Silver:

 We saw a breakdown through the primary uptrend I've been watching - and a dip below the 200 day moving average.  Both of which I bought into.  Watching this weakend trendline but still keeping some powder dry for a big pullback below $29.

Gold to silver ratio:

Same sort of story, saw a weaking of the primary trendline, but still no sign of a big reversal.

Gold testing it's 200 day moving average is a big deal and a good indicator to take a nibble if you can.  I actually bought a fractional coin for the first time... a Swiss 20 Franc gold coin.

Platinum, nut much to say...

Precious Metals Weekly Analysis - Week 9 - 2 March 2012

Wow... a lot happened this week.  Bernanke came on and was called a thief and liar by Ron Paul (go Ron Paul!).  Silver and gold got smashed as he did it.  There was a big runnup the day before though.

One very good thing to see is BrotherJohnF, a Youtube silver analyst opened up a forum on his blog.  To any CGN'ers out there who still read these things, if you want to hear my ban-worthy rantings, you should troll his forum too.  It's a pretty happening place!  Check out his blog too, BJF is an awesome guy and his analysis can't be beat.

Hello to any BJF'ers out there :)
