  • Do what makes you feel happy V.V. It is idiotic of them to deny people's choice to choose what to buy or invest in.

  • I'm pretty depressed about the whole things.  Just read the Fourth Turning. Found out we are living in the fall of Rome. So shit will suck for the next 20 years. Fuck my parents and their RV. Arrogant entitled fucks. They bought their homes in the mid 60s and paid them off with inflated dollars. They inherited oil stocks. Fuck them and their ilk. I will enjoy watching their bones turn to dust.

  • I move furniture and I'm lucky if I make 20k in a year. But I actually love manual labor and I hope to save enough to have my own moving or lawn company one day. People probably say we have a "loser" jobs because we don't get a salary with benefits. WTF! Most people don't realize these "loser" jobs actually paid the bills with relative ease years ago. Soon, the system will catch up to the people who think they've "got it made" too and I can't wait to say, with asshole arrogance, "I told so."

  • Great advice. Go to work to work. Don't go in just so you can get money. George Burns, the famous comdeian, died at 100 years old and he worked up until a few weeks before he died. He always said that you gotta love what you do, no matter what it is. That's the key. Finding meaning, purpose and fun in your occupation, whatever it may be. Burns said it was his key to living the long, full life that he lived. Love your work.

  • Love it! Absolutely love it!

  • Hey Daniel,

    Be careful in China. For example, In Singapore, home prices were up 89% in one year and lending was up 1600% - they have a bubble and there economy is not very resilient - in addition, we know the Fed lies about the numbers coming out of USA, China does the same thing

  • what country is going to be the california of asia?

  • You completely contradict yourself by 58s.

    Its people like you that are too selfish to not make a stand for your country and your people.Your childs future rests on Us people to make a better world and you invest in CHINA!?

    Its people like you that destroy the world with your ME ME attitude,there are things bigger than YOU!

  • What reality are you living in?  The US is going down and "taking a stand" won't change that, bud.

  • Hi,

    I just came across your channel and subscribed. I can see myself learning a lot from you. I will be watching, listening and absorbing with what your share.

    homebaseincome

  • If I had the money, this is what I would do:

    Buy a home near the ocean, with a newly built water well, and relatively good weather

    Use solar panels and wind turbines to generate electricity to power all my utilities

    Follow a Mediterranean diet: Build a garden, and go fishing a couple times a week

  • True, you can't eat gold. But it will retain its value relative to things you need., So when we have massive inflation and gold goes up 5 times in value, along with bread, eggs and other food, you cash in the gold as you need to and buy the food without getting hammered as you would if you held cash all along and watched it buy less and less.

  • I love you rebuttal to those who say "why store gold, you cant eat it, who will trade with you" I have had this argument with so many folks, family, friends et. Great Point! Rather have Gold and silver then not have it...

  • "I don't even know why you're watching this video you should be hiding in a hole in Montana."

    LOL

  • I'd like to be in a hole in Montana right now. It's coooolllldddd on the surface. lol

  • We need to talk. My buddy and I just got in a little arguement. He says I'm unpatriotic. Yet he buys a Japanse motorcycle. He buys everything else america though. I say he's a hypocrit for attacking others, like you whom i mentioned. His motorcycle is 20% faster than the harley. Your 80% returns were 60% higher than dow investor

    'patriots'.

    Do you have any guilt or feel a line should be drawn? Just curious, I'm on your side either way. I feel free country should = free choice.

  • Craigs list is a place to sell bullion. I have bought some from people who needed to raise some cash. There are vultures there also so look out

  • You know what I really wish you would talk about.

    Places people can sell gold and silver when they need to liquidate small amounts of thier stash for every day expenses if money gets tight temporarily.

    I was in a pawn shop recently and asked what they pay for American Silver Eagles and other silver bars or rounds.

    They told me they dont even really want them because they already have them in stock.

    Where can I sell a small amount of my Silver/Gold?

    P.S. I want to sell locally

  • go to a federal bank. they will be happy to take what wealth you have left.

  • look for a coin shop not just a pawn shop

  • Good point - the goverment already is confiscating our dollars.

  • Thanks for the video. Good points. I wish you would do a video more on a personal level of yourself. Such as have you ever worked a job, how you got started in real estate, how you got into economics, etc.

  • GOOD INFO THANKS

  • Food is also a good savings account that is safe from inflation. We have a lot stored up & Feb is going to be very tight for us. So we are going to eat totally out of our food storage & stay away from the stores for the next 5 weeks. So our food storage has worked like a savings account for us.

    Then in March when we have extra money coming in, we will build our food storage back up.

    Silver is a wonderful deal right now & a great way to save money.

  • thx for sharing :)

  • About your comment on finding employment in the food industry, Sam's club is closing ten stores, laying off 1500 people. Their backbone is small business and they will continue to experience "underperforming" stores as small business continue to close. Consider also the coming food shortages this year. They will have an impact on prices and employment, and while I believe any job is better than no job, I don't have the hopes for the food industry that you have. Just sayin.

  • I understand, but compared to so many other industries its a much safer play.

    thx for the comments

  • Thanks Daniel, People need to hear that Daniel, hide in hole in montana! LOL. This country's police and military are not going to put americans in fema camps at gun point. We will come out of this. The people are starting to make their voice's heard, like in the Mass. election. If everyone keeps there heads, and fights the right fight, and continue to hold our elected people's feet to the fire, change will happen.

  • Good ideas... in a perfect world. LOL Go to someone who has money? ha ha People with money are greedy, at least in my family. They help no one but themselves.

  • The people I know who have money want to make more.

  • Thank You vision...I know you a re a patriot and when the US Gov. gets there SH!@#$...act together you will be one of the first to bring your money home !! Till then I say VOTE THEM OUT WITH YOUR WALLET...AMEN !!!

  • I tore up my credit card about 2 months ago and recently paid off the balance.

    I've been able to save so much money ever since.

    Get rid of your plastic. You don't need it!

  • congrats :)

  • You took the words out of my mouth on this one lol

    I am considering getting a mediocre job now (full time) as apposed to continuing with my part time/school situation.

    Either I can improve my resume to stay on top of others, or I can just bite the bullet and take what I can get.

    Havent decided yet, because both can lead to security/insecurity

    IE:

    new in the workplace = less secure

    full time = more secure

    /

    part time = less

    experienced in the workplace = more

  • Can't say enough this is the best advice period. People need to focus on keeping their jobs. I got a dream job back in november. I had 2 interviews. I went in with a sword (figuratively). I think they saw that I was ready to slay anything in my path to get the job. And they appreciated that intensity.

    Been doing alot of things outside (beneath me) of my normal duties. People say I shouldn't but those same are at the bottom rung in their present jobs. Ironically.

  • exactly, swallowing your pride. At my job everyone is multitasking like crazy. We no longer have sufficient project managers. So we do that ourselves. We're our own secretaries now as well.

  • i'm gonna dump my credit card. fukkem.

  • Amen brother.

  • THANKS DANIEL

  • Another great vid, Vision Victory. I would be curious to know your thoughts on the potential Shanghai real estate bubble. I'm long china for the long term but the real estate bubble looks very real.

    Also if you know anyone invested w/Perth Mint, I'd love insight into their experience. I've been kicking around the idea.

  • @tinfoilcap investing in a company like perth mint is not like investing in gold or silver. there are plenty of similar stocks on the market. they aren't any different than any other stock.

  • Very good info, thanks.

  • GREAT VID!!!

    More like this please :D

  • hey, visionvictory, nice one, you can't eat anything. they cannot eat stock too. also, when people said that gold is in bubble, you should tell them to short sell gold. nice video

  • Target stores, and Wall-mart stores are starting to carry groceries, while more and more grocery stores are closing.

    Wall-mart doesn't pay it's employees anywhere near what grocery stores do, so they can charge less for items.

    I think grocery stores are being phased out, and this is a horrible thing because the food from Wall-mart, etc, is far less nutritious.

  • @DEFYtheTHOUGHTPOLICE we have a duopoly in australia. coles and woolworths. they control all food. farmers are at their beck and call

  • DEFY: than you know what we have to do: DON'T buy food at Wal-Mart!! It may be a bit more expensive to shop somewhere else, but if we don't, the consequences are that we have only Wal-mart to go to. That place makes me sick, and they treat their employees like crap.

  • I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart unless I absolutely have no other choice.

    I saw a video about Wal-Mart that showed the store encouraging employees to file for welfare, because Wal-Mart's pay is so bad, they qualify.

    They actually had Welfare applications and pamphlets, in the employee break room.

  • You can eat silver......Colloidal silver!

  • @kryogenikz it used to be a cure [?!?!] for syphilus in the old days - true story.

  • Yeah I read about that. Very interesting that they dropped using it in the medical practice....I guess druggin' the patients are more profitable???

  • That's how to get a good deal with your mobile phone too ;)

  • I wonder how much would a hole in Montana cost ?

  • Great video....It's always good to invest in yourself. I recently went back to college to take a few classes that will help me personnally and professionally. Invest in yourself! Can anyone of you turn a hobby into  part time cash?

  • You cant eat yur money... hahahah.... funny

  • An old bud called me last night to say he was interviewed by the news. He hasnt worked since dec08. He used to make $400-500 day every day. To be honest he wasn't the best. The new economy won't tolerate him though. It was just clock in-clock out for him. :(

    His big complaint was that they only edited in the negative stuff of him. I disagreed with him. Irony is, reporter (hottie), does everything herself. interview, produce, edit, deliver. Welcome to the economy. Roll up your sleeves and GO!

  • Increasing your net worth makes you happy?

  • @eddivision15 It's been proven, but only up to a certain level. That level is surprisingly low.

    We can take our country back!

    Government Wealth exposed!

    cafr1 com

    VV never heard you talk about The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.

    All of private industry is mostly owned by the US Government. Big Pharma at the top, Insurance second, Military Industrial Complex 3rd.

  • The justification for gold confiscation during the great depression was to combat deflation. They needed more gold to print more money.

  • You're right about business owners raising the bar. We really should focus on better customer service and our ethics in general when it comes to marketing.

  • Gold sellers like APMEX, Gainesvillecoins, BullionDirect, Monex,Goldline, etc. are still accepting U.S Dollars. Now ask yourself why would anyone in their right mind, sell or trade something as precious as gold for the worthless U.S Dollar?

    In my opinion buy gold when you think it has reached its lows and sell when it rallys up. Do what the gold sellers are doing, make a profit.

    LOL, Its like a giant ponzi scheme......

  • interesting comment, would like to hear a good response... thanks.

  • Comment removed

  • Black Swan seem to suggest that China is heading for trouble,although I find your information very well researched and of course correct.However,reducing liquidity in China and the USA must have consequences.

  • While this is good in theory cutting corners is often asked for by management, not in a way that they will have to know about it but in a way that will increase efficiency. If you are the one who do it the right way you will be the first to go.

    If you are dependent on a job you are in trouble and will be violated in the coming years.

  • Investing in China is not unpatriotic..It's just moronic..If you think the US cooks the books..You have no idea what Communist Countries do with there info that is realeased..This guy VV just Parrots what Schiff says..Schiff has it right on many levels..but he is dead wrong on China..Also what is you're Victory ?..The collapse of the US?..

  • Some serious misconceptions in the blog link.

    One big is the USD losing reserve currency standard because of Russia diversifying outside.

    Hint: currently, the US is playing a dirty game on other economies, trying at best not to hinder them from going unsteady (realistically, one could say helping them going unsteady) with an expected result.

    Think of that.

  • Thanks for the advise, Ill almost give up looking for work but not college. On the other hand Ive also put that 300hp turbo AWD car out of the picture.

  • I am hiding and watching from a hole in Montana.

  • excellent, realistic advise.

  • greaqt

  • Why save when hyperinflation is comming?

  • Saving is indeed playing the wrong card.

  • I hate that comment too about, "you can't eat gold or silver".... Well yea you can't.... but you also certainly can't eat your USD. What would you rather own: worthless fiat paper that you can't trade for anything or something that actually has value that will get you goods you need. People are so dumb these days..

  • Exactly. Watch:

  • Theres a difference between the CHi and US gov?

    And if people are going to say anything to you about investing in them, then WHAT THE HELL SHOULD THEY BE SAYING TO THE US GOV. who is seriously promoting China.

    Fricken Idiots.

  • You can eat your dog,I'm investing in dogs

  • But Dan: they're saying their going to force your 401K & IRAs into some gov't Treasury bonds- I forget the sources- what do you know of this? Is there truth in it?

  • I haven't seen any articles about that, but a co-worker of mine told me the same thing. He said that is what Obama wants to do. These things will eventually be too tempting of a target for a government that falls more and more ridiculously into red ink.

  • The same people who say "You can't eat your gold" will pay $20k for a car. If the SHTF, they won't be able to afford the gas to drive it, then what will it be worth?

  • lol.I have to,about this economy,or I mite cry,soon we will have nothing left to sell except are sovereignty and soles.

  • soul= your spirit.  A sole is the bottom of your shoe. Which one do you mean?

  • @whiskerchild it's also a type of fish, ; p

  • Daniel, thanks for all your alerts. History does repete itself. Nations that do not stockpile food, will be slaves to the nations that do. Read up on the guy with the coat of many colors. The value of food is intrinsic,

  • Daniel, thanks for all your alerts. History does repete itself. Nations that do not stockpile food, will be slaves to the nations that do. Read up on the guy with the coat of many colors. The value of food is intrinsic,

  • My response to "you can't eat your gold." You can't eat dollars.

  • Save your $34! Save your sanity! TURN OFF YOUR TV! Even mild exposure to the mindless garbage that is available on the propaganda machine can cause herd like tendencies to manifest in the host organism.

  • ... and that is one of the many maladies that you are gladly inviting into your domicile, and you're paying for the "programming" to boot!

  • lol. in mere 8 months you can become a nurse with 75K+ salary + overtime and never be unemployed again.

  • I don't think so! To become an RN u need a min. of a 2yr. deg. U may be able to become an LPN in that time, but good luck finding a program for it, they r phasing out LPN's. I know this because i am an RT and work with RN's on a daily basis.

  • pls tell me how many ounces of silver should i buy a month give me a exact amount

  • 10000000

  • Love it!

  • is the chinese yen and indian rupees safe or are all fait currencies unsafe.can india and china really surpass counties like usa australia and canada or will they always be third world countries

  • Very good advice... of the people I know who were fired recently, more were fired due to personal work issues rather than layoffs. None were fired due to lack of skill.

  • Daniel, what are some good dividend mutual funds? I also invest in dividend stocks, and may want to dollar cost average into other funds.  Thanks!

  • I like them as well, but by only picking a few stocks for their clients, some people lost a lot more than they had too during the 2008 crash.

  • Gold, it what's for dinner.

  • I work in a call center and we are not allowed to read books because the managers fear it will make the VP's say we have too much availability and fire us. ....Google has a slide.

  • i've been following you for several yrs. you've been right often... you've also become quasi-cocky as a result... keep up the reports, but watch your tone. ur doin a good job, remember where u came from...

  • thx for the support and the advise.

  • hey Dan, first bro, your Prince looks amazing. Wow, its really lovely to grow with you on this journey all these days, to the day i can see how your son is growing beautifully.

  • An attorney recently told me settlement with credit cards are not taxed if you can prove to be insolvent.

  • Gaining the world, and losing a soul? When you invest in an enterprise you know is or supports evil you are essentially earning blood money. With that kind of attitude, money over morality, you should not be complaining about the government ripping everyone off. Am I my brother's keeper or not? How do you tell if what you invested in is evil? By their fruits. China is awesome at oppression, tyranny and murder. U want to support that? I wouldn't invest in a US corp either.

  • unpatriotic ??? For what other reason would you make these videos if not patriotism? Besides you have a family you are responsible for.

    Thanks for all do.

  • oraclenvec, your comment and a nickel gets me a stick of gum.

  • Vision Victory, I heard you say hold physical gold & silver, but what about mining stocks and oil stocks. How will they preform?

  • @jaysen5 I agree, how will Gold and silver mining stocks preform? Please reply Visionvictory.

  • good over the long haul because they are tied to future Asian demand.

  • On a more economical note; I know you are a wise investor and understand how the market works...

    However, Trust your old friend, about China. This is One area of the world, that Is so concealed from the rest of the world, that after the smoke clears and the Red Wall collapses, and When the Truth about what is going on in China is exposed and what the Entire economy is based on... It will be truly soul stirring.

    Ill be posting some very serious articles soon to the VV Board.. keep eyes open.

  • will keep an eye out for them mitchee

  • @mitchee009 Are you kidding michee009, some folks would not care if they were killing newborns and feeding them to the factory workers, as long as their stock was taking a bump they would not care. Asia investment is greed, gone to seed.

  • Awesome video, love it! LOL at the hiding in a hole :)

  • I loled too :)

  • thx for all your support, especially on the blog.

  • You're welcome, it's a lot of fun for me :)

  • anti-patriotic? lol That's a good one.

    Wake up people. You think the bankers and politicians are patriotic? They sold you out long time ago and here you are with your misplaced patriotic ideas.

    If money can be made in China invest in China.

  • A Vision theres going to be a lot of people eating bullet when they cant hold up this phony economy anymore......

  • It's funny how pot is $400 per ounce and silver is $17. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • pot doesn't cost $400 everywhere in the world, but silver will cost 17 everywhere.

  • I'm hitting my last debt, the mortgage with everything I can swing. I just went under 19k. The plan is to get it paid off this year. Then if I lost my job I could take that 10 dollar an hour job you mentioned and still feel wealthy. My basic expenses (food, property tax, utilities, insurance, fuel) will be about 800 a month. Heck, I could still buy silver on those wages.

    I keep about a thousand in cash but like you my precious metals are securely stashed well away from my home.

  • There are a lot of worse places to live than Montana, like umm California. All your silver and gold won't do you very much good there wtshtf, remember it's not a matter of if but when.

    Ezekiel 7:19 that day is coming. Sooner than most know.

  • phew! I'm glad you see that, I work in management at a grocery store, we've still seen strong sales probably because we are a discount grocery store, we really haven't seen a big slow up (Thank God!) Strangely we still have strong sales in our non-food items also, which I thought might slow down on the unnecessary items

  • Gold dealers like APMEX, Gainesvillecoins, BullionDirect, Monex,Goldline, etc are still accepting American Dollars why? Think about it!

    In my opinion buy gold when its low and sell when its gets high.......

  • good info tnx

  • This is a horrible time to play the employee role, and while I know most folks feel stuck in that mode, those who are faring the best right now are ENTREPRENEURS. I'm not going for smugness here, but the reality is: taking matters into your own hands will create far more "security" than getting hired by a company that regards you as just another number. I urge people to think creatively about how they can serve others and look to turn such ideas into products or services.

  • Agreed. My guy and I shop frugally, don't have cable, share a cell phone, and don't buy frivilious crap. We drive cars that are paid off. We saved over $65,000 in the last year and a half on medium incomes...and used that toward our silver/gold....encouraging video!

  • And a further note....we are both the some of the last standing at jobs where 3/4ths have been let go, because of taking pride in our work...even if that means I am just a bartendar with a college degree...I am grateful for that job!

  • MissNevada08

    That's the way to live! Glad to see I'm not the only one.

  • nothing like a paid off car :) thx for sharing

  • I heard that the U.S. government is exploring options to take control of citizens IRA and 401K plans. Has anyone else heard this? If so what are your plans if they freeze your investments in a financial crisis?

  • You can't eat Federal Reserve Notes Either.

  • I know a guy who lives in a nothing trailer about 40 miles out of the city, and all he dose is grow watermelons, and pumpkins on about 10 acres. He takes them to the city and sells them on vacant lots along major roads, and intersections. He made over 2.5 million in 7 or 8 yrs, and saved much of it in bank accts. Not to bad for a bumpkin. The guy acts like he has zero stress. Amazing.

  • thx for blowing my cover.

  • lol

  • The USA Government is making it so hard for non Elites to make money, I don't blame Daniel for investing overseas in China, Asia or elsewhere.

  • You know what Daniel? You ought not so easily justify your actions by greed. It's a very basic principle of the Christian faith. How did you miss it?

  • render unto ceasar what is ceasars man, I don't get to pick the system I live under.

  • This 407buddy seems to pop up with a canned reply to lots of stuff I watch.

    However, he might be sincere. Betcha he's been using that autoreply feature.

    Makes ya' look like a troll, Buddy!

  • swallowing pride happens just before starvation.

  • You made some good points in this video, and I agree with what you are doing investment wise.

  • I appreciate the point you're making v.v. and it is the right choice for some people some of the time, but consider this: some jobs that are only $10/hr for sure will not keep the bills paid and kids fed and some of them are exhausting enough a person can't use their full time to find the job that will pay the bills. Cutting bills doesn't include refusing to feed 2 kids, right? I know a mechanic who held out and his family is better off for it

  • Good points, thx for sharing.

  • I'll thank my mechanic friend for the info. Turns out the less money people will spend on new cars, the more they will get repairs to keep cars on the road as long as possible, so while it's not 'boom times' it's not bad times for work either. He has to bust his ass but it is paying off large time.

  • Hopefully the hole I dig in Montana will spout oil.

    ----

    Eventually, planting azaleas, roses, ferns, etc., will eventually become a distant memory. The next generation of kids will be planting vegetables and fruit trees in their backyards.

  • I can't even find a minimum wage job! Where the fuck are all of the jobs!!!!!!!

  • oblivion292

    If you're emotionally tough, you could check out the funeral home industry. That's bound to be a growth industry in the next few years. I'd have a hard time doing that kind of work but the fact that most people can't do it probably dives the wages up.

  • @vention4wh THE HOURS SUCK, BUT BUSINESS IS GOOD, PEOPLE ARE DYING TO GET IN!

  • I worked for the Loewen Group for 6 years (in IT), and I back up your idea 100%.  It was actually great working for that company, because the people were very compassionate and actually really cared about others. They were generally empathetic and kind souls, and great to work with. (the Loewen Group went into Chapter 11, it wasn't due to the industry being bad, it was due to poor management decisions at that time.) And most funeral home companies are still mom and pop operations.

  • I would love to work in a funeral home...The best kind of people to work with..DEAD PEOPLE. They don't talk back or yell at you :).

  • In some areas there are none.

  • thanks...great videos

  • That's what Jim Rogers is doing he lives in Asia and invests in gold..and farming stocks...

  • Okay, I am moving to a hole in Montana>LOL

  • How did you Know I'm in a hole in montana. GOOD Perspective on gold and the DOLLAR .THAT'S my point, NO place to hide.

  • :) lol

  • China is a really bad move.

    Analyst have been predicating China collapsing before the US because of their hyper inflated currency.

    Its also unpatriotic ;-)

    I had to 1 star on this one for bad information.

  • analyst said no recession for the US too.

  • Thanks...great vids!

  • I've worked in the satellite tv industry a long time..let's just say what they do certainly doesn't make sense sometimes. You have to play hardball with them, just remember the operator you're speaking with is on your side sometimes even though he has a protocol to follow. If you convince your tv company you are going to cancel you will usually get some amazing offers, that is if you haven't gotten alot of free stuff from them before.
