I read a wild book this weekend…Who Really Owns Your Gold by William Garner (fourth edition). It was published in 2016 and has some intriguing facts about the gold market’s history, and history in general. No doubt, it’s a page-turner and made me think…deeply…about many things.

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold. —Leo Tolstoy Have you read War and Peace or Anna Karenina by Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy? This Russian writer, regarded as one of the greatest authors of all…
As I was scrolling through news, it occurred to me that “reading between the lines” and connecting information is an uncommon skill in today’s American society.

Don’t get too excited, but I’m writing a book. This is the reason for the long delay between Part 1 and Part 2 of this post. As Ben Franklin put it, either I’m trying to write something worth reading or I’m doing something worth writing—the story of my life. If…
