  • What I find funny is that your politicians go into office with F-all, come out with millions and nobody bats an eyelid, where do you think they get all their money from? Ron Paul is obviously honest, he has one investment theme and sticks to it. Check out Boehner, if he did that type of thing in the UK he would probably end up in prison.

  • Whats wrong with making money off of precious metals?2-5 million?You people are getting your pads wet for 2-5 million?LOL,then you really do not want to know the other candidates running for President's wealth.Romney alone is worth a quarter of a billion.

  • Excellent work! Definitely going into my favorites.

  • Greenspan was asked how he wanted his retirement paid to him. Euros or dollars. He said Neither. He would rather have gold. I retired on my gold and silver earnings from purchases made ten years ago. And I still have 90% of my metal. Keeping savings in metals has worked very well. Buy it on the way down and it always goes higher than I paid. That's the only fact I need. Anything else you hear or read is just jealous commentary. Anyone else here retire at 45? What's in your wallet? Condoms?

  • I'm Mirroring this video.

  • In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value.

    - Alan Greenspan (Before becoming Chariman of the Federal Reserve)

  • Many people advocate buying gold and silver as a hedge against inflation. Many people have made money that way. Check out how much silver Bill Gates has. What is important is that Paul does not act un ethically by voting with insider knowledge. If he did, he would have voted for a debt ceiling increase, causing metal prices to rise. Besides...what would he do with more money? Buy hookers and blow? Support all those mistresses? Keep Aqua Buddah's bowl packed for Rand? Please.

  • SURE I BELIEVE ANYTHING ANYONE SAYS WITHOUT ANY PROOF RIGHT? RIGHT?

    GO READ THE LIST TO RON, I WANNA SEE YOU MOVE YOUR ASS FOR A CHANGE

  • @ashwadhwani These are his disclosed assets, OpenSecrets is a reliable source that only reports known assets on all the politicians, Ron Paul's profile is only one of many. Do some fact checking. Also you probably believe what Ron Paul says without proof don't you?

  • @DrTronPaul LIKE I SAID MOVE 'YOUR' ASS

  • I would worry more if Ron Paul owned big oil and big pharma and wall street. It seems he's heavily vested in gold, which has been for very long and not at all as a result of his becoming privy of any information he wasn't wide sharing. What he knew that made him decide to buy gold, he had long described to the public when he became at all heavily vested in gold.

  • His investment portfolio is unusually clean for a congressman. Seems the bundled donations he's accepted off record by his own vote and the authority he accepts are far greater bothersome about Ron Paul than this presentation, his financial investments. I think Paul wouldn't be President totally right, to deliver universally the power to determine global policy, but I do think Ron Paul would be by far better a President than any of the present monstrosity expressed interest in the Presidency.

  • @danielvincentkelley Him owning major shares gold companies and having a conflict of interest when he convinces you that paper money is worthless and you should invest in gold (increasing his assets) doesn't worry you? Does his stock in banks and his sniffing about oil companies worry you any?

  • @DrTronPaul If he convinced people to invest in gold, then this would have pretty negligible effect compared to the economy.

  • @TMOvids If he convinced hundreds of thousands of Ron Paul supporters to invest in or buy gold, it would increase the value his personal assets, economy be damned. Why pay for advertisements when you can get paid to advertise yourself?

  • @DrTronPaul The economy is a far, far more important factor than the presence of fellow investors.

  • @TMOvids Investors are the main stay of the economy for gold bonds, and if it wasn't profitable it'd be a dead business.

  • If he was vested in major banks, Fed banks or Wall Street banks, I'd be concerned about it. It wouldn't be prosecutable unless it was proven his actions manipulated the price of those banks stock or that he had inside knowledge of the stocks soon jump. None of what's presented her establish any criminal character about his investments. You're a sure moron. People don't care that congress people invest, grow their earnings, have money. People care that congress get money by criminal endeavor.

  • @DrTronPaul

    His divulging to people that money is worthless doesn't certify insider trading. He was saying that 20 years before the fed quadrupled the money supply rendering money worthless. What your arguing are reasons to praise Ron Paul. Sniffing about oil companies? Was he looking for a place to pee? If he'd have invested in oil companies, that would be surely CRIMINAL, because EVERY opportunity he's had as congressman to benefit big oil, he jumped at.

  • @danielvincentkelley Wrong, because convincing people that paper money is worthless promotes his gold and silver bonds because it suggests to them that they should invest in such metals.

    Also, his anti-inflation stance makes sense from a business perspective, because inflation devalues his assets. Every time the dollar inflates a nickle, the value of every dollar he has tied up in these companies decreases by a nickle, and as many millions as he has in, that's a lot of nickles.

  • @DrTronPaul

    That he only sniffed around oil companies and didn't buy big oil stocks, speaks to his being a slick criminal, that he knew better than to create that paper trail. He voted against disclosure of "bundled donations", which in my mind is already criminal, long called bribery. THAT'S a REAL cause for concern and INVESTIGATION of Ron Paul. All this horse shit listed in the video is nonsense. What you're selling is Nazi Koch propaganda.

  • @danielvincentkelley That he only sniffed around shows he's smart too, because getting a small sum of money in is a good way to keep gauge of what the company is doing and predict it's growth cycles, which means Ron Paul can use a few hundred dollars to predict when the best time to invest a few million would be.

    Very slick indeed. Wait until the 2012 report I'm willing to bet he's invested a lot more if that company is profitable, he's a shrewd business man.

  • This is brilliant. If Paul's suggested policies of competing currencies and ending the fed were brought about, then the value of his own assets would decrease.

    He has made money betting correctly that current monetary policy wouldn't work, and he is willing to lose his own money on establishing a monetary policy that would work.

    A true statesman.

  • @TMOvids If Ron Paul doesn't get to implement those suggested policies, or has no intention to, then he stands to make a fortune by convincing people like you to invest in gold to sure up his assets.

    In other words, his entire campaign could just be a way of drumming up business and milking money from his donors. Whatever the case there is a clear conflict of interest and you'd have to be blind not to see it.

  • @DrTronPaul That's pretty wild and implausible TBH. Who spends his career pushing for political change which would lead to depreciation on his assets, with the hidden aim that said change won't happen?

  • @TMOvids Who spends his career accomplishing absolutely nothing while getting rich off the system and just voting a straight line of no's and appearing on talk shows for cash? Also if the change he's "pushing for" convinces you to buy gold or invest in his companies he gets richer doesn't he? Do you honestly think he's going to get into office and switch us over to the gold standard? The gold standard could easily be a ploy to improve his assets by tricking YOU into investing for it.

  • @DrTronPaul He has accomplished quite a lot, including a partial audit of the federal reserve. You're correct in that me investing in specifically his investments would make him (negligibly) richer. I really doubt that's his aim though. It would be tonnes of work for almost no return, and if he accidentally achieves what he pretends to be aiming for (in your hypothesis) then he loses all that value and then some!

  • @TMOvids He hasn't really accomplished much of anything, a partial audit of the fed is meaningless and was likely just show boating.

    Also, if the gains were so negligible then companies wouldn't pay millions to advertise what Ron Paul is essentially advertising for free, and don't assume all the people he's convincing are poor, a lot of them can make rather sizable investments.

    And it's not like he isn't getting paid, he gets to keep the millions left in donations and gets paid for his office.

  • Ron Paul is against printing more money even though that would increase the value of gold. He has also stated that he would only accept the avg American salary if elected. Nothing to see here. And I doubt we'll find any sex scandals on him or have trouble proving he's an American citizen. So, the only reason not to support him would be that you are either a criminal banker or a Military Industrial Complex war monger. They love candidates they can control with blackmail. This one they'll kill.

  • @emorganschuster62 Wait, wouldn't printing more money decrease the paper value of his investments due to inflation, not increase them? Also doesn't he stand to make money by simply convincing you to buy gold from the companies he has stock in? And wouldn't it increase the value of his assets if you invested in these companies?

  • @DrTronPaul Printing more money would decrease the value of the dollar over time which increases the price of gold and silver. But he is against the printing of money. Clearly, he is acting ethically. Unlike many politicians.

  • @emorganschuster62 Decreasing the value of money would decrease the value of his investments actually, what does it matter if a bar of gold is worth one dollar or a hundred dollars if that value is caused by inflation rather than actual stock value.

    Ron Paul only stands to gain due to inflation if people are investing faster than the dollar is depreciating in value. He has to be able to cash in his assets.

  • All this does is help any guilt i might have about what i'm gonna pay him for being our next president!

  • wow this guys a genius ..... a man that advocates for the gold standard is investing heavily in gold... a man that asks people to please save alittle prefers the gold standard.. i am willing to bet that laughngblad does not own a house.. because he would know he has no equity anymore..

  • Thats awesome. Nice to see a man who puts his money where his mouth is. I'm supprised he did not have more faith in vista till late. I put 1000. in vista in 2001 and its climbed to 23,000. I bet his total wealth 10 years ago was just 1/10th of this since darn near every one of these stocks are up way over 1000%.. I am supprised he has so little property, Nice to see humble lifestyle for 73 years. Still the total 73 year wealth is close to what Gingrich took from one place in 5 years, Fannie May.

  • Well good for him.

  • This shows me how successful Ron Paul is and makes him even more qualified to be our 45th President. Now go and do the same thing on the other candidates and see what you get. Remember fair and balance reporting. RP 2012.

  • I can't tell if this is pro or anti Ron Paul, But it shows that the man knew and believed what he said 40 years ago. He said that removing the dollar from gold would skyrocket inflation and cause too much debt, and we did it anyway. So he invested in in gold when is was $35 /oz, now it is $1700+ /oz. He called it, and got rich, not by defrauding the people, but by being very intelligent. If everybody was as smart, to gain weath not at the expense of others, USA would be much better.
