Hard Money Newsletter Review

Bill’s Blog is run by Bill Haynes, of CMI Gold And Silver.

Based out of Phoenix,  this is well organized ‘big-bullion-business-blog’,  that advocates physical possession.

We need them, we like them, we recommend them.

Okay. So,  we haven’t ordered from them yet. But we probably will.

Their main business, CMI Gold & Silver, deals in coins and bullion. They can deal in size.

As you know,  we are of local coin shop people.  We happily buy and hold silver – taking it off the hands of those who simply don’t yet see the value of this precious commodity and monetary asset.

I must say that, as much as we scorn the likes of Thomas Friedman, CMI Gold & Silver’ success is probably attributable to the ‘flattening’ of things  due to technology.

If you try them from a distance and they ‘feel’ local enough for you, let me know and we will update this post.

Haynes, who has been around the block (40 years in this), has the market down and serves our mission of letting the masses know about ‘these precious’ opportunities.

He shares the our vision of ‘monetary inevitability’ (lots of inflation), which should be all anyone needs to understand the urgency for taking action and thereby protecting your purchasing power.

Even if Bill’s Blog is not quite as outspoken on price manipulation as GATA, the main website features a must-read overview of how PM purchases are recorded and accounted for by the IRS. This was very cool.

A very interesting review for those of us who have been hell-bent on taking whatever we can out of the system for the long-haul.

But let us not digress.

The blog features, in addition to biweekly posts, a Free Newsletter (which we are collecting) and one-click-ready-access-to-the-bullion-goods when you need to make a purchase pronto.

The main website offers gold and silver bullion in practically every form – outside of the numismatic.

They also cover platinum and palladium too for those interested.

I used 3 recent posts and an ‘old one’ from the archives to build this review.

The first post, US News Interviews Ron Paul About The Fed- went up June 25th, 2009

This was a short, news item alert and one that slipped past the ’sensors’ that reinforces and points to an important Ron Paul interview.

As intended, this the interview makes the post worthwhile and we thank Bill for this.

And it pretty much sealed our support for what Paul is up to.

The next post we reviewed was Congress To Approve IMF Gold Sales.

Coming to you from 35,000 ft, the politics of gold make for an even happier silver bug, given than politicos will not have a enough time to act once silver does it’s thing.

Personally, I wonder why the IMF wouldn’t be stocking gold, rather than gearing up to sell, but the article linked in this post helps put things in perspective and actually makes the case for the  release IMF gold, which might spark central bank competition between two lurching giants.

Another good catch, Bill.

The last recent post we reviewed was this one, from early June, Northwestern Mutual Buys Gold.

This one is super short and seems to acknowledge that while gold and silver bugs need little reassurance about the future, these kind of announcements don’t hurt the prospects.

And finally, we looked at a post from January, 2009 – The Collapse of ‘09

We are glad we did – and thrilled that Haynes demonstrates equal-opportunity treatment for silver.

The post points to a serious  Lee Rockwell podcast. It is a do-able length for us, but we highly recommend  keeping all sharp objects hidden and out of reach.

Okay, so bottom line: We recommend this blog.

It is clean, organized, simple to navigate, and well-written. We’ve bookmarked it. You should too.

Bill targets the natural (larger) audience, but makes no bones about silver.

This is not for miners or those of the numismatic persuasion.

There were very few (if any) comments on the posts themselves.

The tone is (we think rightly) bullish overall, but Bill’s Blog shows a willingness to assert his personality and fairly question his resources.

You won’t see much in-depth conspiracy monologue here, but we learned something about the PM story from the political realm, which we all need a dose from now and then – no matter how bad it tastes.

We’ll be following, and recommend it for those serious about diversifying a large cash position. If that’s you, and/or you are new to this, Bill’s Blog is a good place to be.
