I wanted to see if there were any suggestions for quality books on either the turmoil thats before us or a book on PM's that any of you could recommend.


I just completed " the death of money" and "one second after" which were great books. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Here is one that is hard to find on the internet...

How J.P. Morgan Manipulates and Controls the Gold and Silver Market (& Why that Makes Silver the Opportunity of a Lifetime)
by Theodore Butler

The book is 117 pages and easy to read. Keep in mind that when Ted Butler says opportunity of a lifetime, he isn't making any bold proclamation that silver is going up in the next year or two.

One way you can get a free copy is to call Investment Rarities out of Minneapolis. 800-328-1860. You may have to act like you are interested in buying silver or gold to get a free copy, but that shouldn't be too hard for many on this board.

FYI- I've never bought anything from them, so I have no idea what they are like to do business with and I don't even know offhand how their pricing is. Be sure to check them out with the Better Business Bureau before spending any money. There have been a few high profile bankruptcies recently, even among companies that were well thought of for decades. As they used to say on Hill Street Blues, "Be careful out there!"

I had some dealings with Investment Rarities a few years back. Not a bad company, just neutral on them. But be warned, you will be called. Here's my story.

They had an ad in a coin mag a number of years ago for something like, buy a silver eagle and a silver maple leaf for $19.95 (total) which was a good price back then so I jumped on it. Well of course I started getting mailings and they got my phone number (required) and started calling asking me if I wanted to buy some silver in bigger amounts. Sales people who wouldn't give out prices. But they were nice enough and ended up sending me a ton of printed material and booklets mostly written by Ted Butler. They had some kind of a business relationship with him which wasn't a bad thing as he has some of the best insight on silver trading and the industry etc.

Looking back, they ended up sending me a book by James Cook (Inv Rarities president/owner) on gold that was really good and informative, they sent me a big book on silver investing by Ted Butler (absolutely awesome book that convinced me to go full bore into silver), James Cooks novel "Full Faith and Credit" which is a fictionalized story written about the collapse of the stock market and the weakening of the dollar and the subsequent explosion in gold (very well written), numerous booklets on silver, gold and inspirational stuff from Napoleon Hill and their monthly newsletter. Generous if you ask me. Just know they will pester you with their Minnesota accent (I say that in good nature with my best Boston accent.)

So, if you talk to them you may get quite a few quality reads.

Continue to stack.

You can always tell them you are giving them your work number and give them the phone number for a McDonald's or something like that. Hopefully, after a call or two, they'd get the hint...
