I have lots of questions that I do not have the answer to. Do you have some? No, that is not my question. Here it is: If gold and silver are so much better than cash, why are these companies spending the big bucks for commercials trying to sell it? Why don't they just keep it?

Okay. No answers to that one. How about this one. Why do medicine commercials say, "Don't take this medicine if you are allergic to it.". Well DUH!

Norm, i'm not sharpest knife in the drawer by "any" means but imagine that they "could" be libel if they didn't cover their ass and didn't warn the public about the "possibility" you "might" be allergic to it. LAWYERS CONTROL THE WORLD!

Norm, those companies are trying to get you to buy gold and silver from them, which earns them a nice commission. Then they will remind you how unsafe it is to have your gold and silver lying around at home, so they will urge you to store the coins in their vault, also for a nice fee.
They make money no matter what the price of the metals are. These companies are just vultures preying on our fears.

Norm, that one always cracks me up, too. Right along with "may cause diarrhea, headaches, constipation...". So which one is it? Diarrhea or constipation?
And there was once a commercial for gout medicine that said "may cause gout flare-ups". That's like taking a headache medicine that may cause headaches? Say whaaaaaaat?

How about the commercials that teach you how to flip houses and make tens of thousands of dollars? Why don't those people just flip the houses themselves?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

The side effects that worry me are the ones that "may lead to death".
The commercial that gets me is the bent dick syndrome...peyronies disease. Hell, if it's long enough to have a curve in it leave it alone...if it ain't broke don't fix it.
