Silver and Gold – ‘Tis the Season

Silver and Gold – ‘Tis the Season | Gold and What Moves it. | Scoop.it

by Kim Bacic:

 

"... There is something about gold – almost magical like the Christmas season – that only you can experience when you hold that gold bullion (or two) in your hand. You officially become someone who owns a precious metal – gold.

 

"And what a pleasure it is to know that silver and gold can help give you financial security in these times of economic uncertainty. I mean, let’s face it, someone is jumping off that cliff come January – the Republicans continue to encourage the Democrats to extend the Bush-era tax cuts and strongly discourage the tax rate increase for the upper 2% … while the Democrats are fighting the Republicans proposal to slash spending on Medicare, Mediciad and Social Security. Someone is going to take the hit for the fall… Protect yourself with something that historically gives you a good chance to keep your financial footing.

 

"And let’s not forget that as we fall off the cliff, we may well be jumping back up into a time of a recession and inflation. If the tax hikes and federal spending cuts do indeed occur, they will have a direct impact on consumer behavior of every US household. We will have less spending power, and with the reductions in various departments due to the federal cuts, many jobs will be lost. Gold may provide you the pleasure of knowing you will still have purchasing power. ..."

Asteroid-Mining Project Aims for Deep-Space Colonies

Asteroid-Mining Project Aims for Deep-Space Colonies | Gold and What Moves it. | Scoop.it

A new asteroid-mining company launched Tuesday with the goal of helping humanity expand across the solar system by tapping the vast riches of space rocks.

The new firm, called Deep Space Industries, Inc., announced today (Jan. 22) that it plans to launch a fleet of prospecting spacecraft in 2015, then begin harvesting metals and water from near-Earth asteroidswithin a decade or so. Such work could make it possible to build and refuel spacecraft far above our planet's surface, thus helping our species get a foothold in the final frontier.

Hal's insight:

I will admit that the idea of 3d printing does actually offer up a great way to build in space. I still can't wrap my head around this being feasable so soon.
