Buy-and-hold gold and silver and [the stocks and long-term warrants of quality] precious metals miners - and sleep well at night. [Let me explain why that is the case.] Words: 731

The idea that an increase in the debt ceiling is a solution to anything is nonsense. The event would be simply a can kick forward for a very short period of time.
