Hello Cameron,

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective on economics! You’ve made some excellent points about the fundamental nature of money and economic principles.

We completely agree that ‘Economics in One Lesson’ is an outstanding resource for understanding these concepts. In fact, we’re so passionate about financial education that we’d be happy to include a complimentary copy with any precious metals order. We believe informed investors make better decisions, and this book is a fantastic starting point.

Have a great day,
Johnny Estes
Vice President

Comment on Krugman’s parachute is full of holes by Cameron Fraser https://cmi-gold-silver.com/krugmans-parachute-is-full-of-holes/#comment-457974 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 11:59:54 +0000 http://cmigoldsilver.wpengine.com/?p=4376#comment-457974 It’s unfathomable to me that a Nobel prize winning economist is devoid of even the slightest understanding of basic, primary school level economics,…and yet it makes absolute sense. All he see’s when he’s pontificating (yet again) about how he’s right (this time), is currency. Currency and money are often confused, but for the time being let’s just call currency money for the sake of those who refuse to educate themselves.

Money is merely an asset which facilitates the exchange of goods and services. Nothing more, and nothing less. A token. Why is that so difficult for he and his like to understand?

The more the tokens, the less they are worth in the exchange, OBVIOUSLY. Wealth is not a pizza. Everyone on the planet could be rich, and equally, everyone on the planet could be poor.

Economics exists with or without currency. Economics is everything, in every corner of the planet and involving every species on the planet. All species produce, exchange symbiotically, and on the other hand they can be parasitic and destructive. It really isn’t rocket science, despite imbeciles like Krugman endlessly tying themselves in knots in an attempt to make it so. Get yourself a copy of ‘Economics in One Lesson’. Have an easy, relaxing read, and within two hours, you will understand a relatively simple subject.

Comment on The Largest Gold Nugget in the US: The Hand of Faith by Roy https://cmi-gold-silver.com/the-hand-of-faith-the-worlds-largest-gold-nugget/#comment-457916 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:09:07 +0000 https://www.cmi-gold-silver.com/?p=30190#comment-457916 Talk about a once in a lifetime find! I would have to guess the odds of finding something like this being similar to the odds of winning the Powerball lottery. I can imagine the thrill and excitement he felt when uncovering a 60 pound gold nugget. Great story!

Comment on How to Avoid Going Bankrupt With Shadow Debt by Johnny Estes https://cmi-gold-silver.com/how-to-avoid-going-bankrupt-with-shadow-debt/#comment-457913 Mon, 16 Sep 2024 19:40:34 +0000 https://www.cmi-gold-silver.com/?p=29759#comment-457913 In reply to James McArdle.

Hello James,

Thank you for your question. While we’re not financial brokers and cannot offer specific advice, it’s generally considered prudent to allocate around 20 to 25 percent of your portfolio to tangible assets like gold and silver. Personally, I’ve chosen to invest a bit more heavily in these metals due to my belief in their value.

If you’d like personalized guidance, I recommend contacting one of our non-commissioned brokers. They can provide expert assistance on determining the right metals for you when the time is appropriate.

Best regards, Johnny

Comment on Costco Enters the Precious Metals Market by Johnny Estes https://cmi-gold-silver.com/costco-enters-the-precious-metals-market/#comment-457911 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 17:46:15 +0000 https://www.cmi-gold-silver.com/?p=29755#comment-457911 In reply to RK_in_TX.

These are important questions. While I can’t say for certain, it likely relates to Costco’s liability considerations. Given the number of employees and the security protocols at each location, Costco probably prioritizes minimizing risk.

As a precious metal dealer, we prioritize security with stringent measures ensuring minimal handling of metals.

If you’re interested in purchasing the same product, please contact us directly. We offer discreet shipping with insurance coverage until delivery confirmation. Our typical minimum order for gold is 3 ounces.
