Chris Interviews Ted Butler: The End of Silver Price Manipulation

That's why I am such a fan.  Too much sensationalizing out there as it is.

Thanks.

This is the video that truly makes the case for silver and copper ...

Now even JPM (boo hiss!!) can't buck physical reality...

but maybe they've been doing us a massive favour.. by tilting the playing field in favour of those who GET IT !

Thank you JPM!

Thank you Ted Butler !

and most of all...  thank you Chris !

This was an excellent inerview and I think posting podcasts is a great idea! Keep up the good work, CM and staff!

ted butler is very humble in his work. he seems quite un emmotional about everything and perhaps this is what has bought the man so far. When silver does break through and it absolutely will, then ted is the one who we need to thank. People like him make this world a much better place. Thanx for your sacrifice .    Steve Australia

DavidC,

Congratulations on having the wisdom to invest in Au and Ag.

Given the expectation that Ag will move up into triple digits in the near future, meaning in the next two or three years, does it make any sense to you to invest a chunk in AGQ which is a leveraged silver ETF?

I don't have the time to watch an investment closely enough to be trading in and out daily. I just wonder if a leveraged ETF in silver makes sense to hold given the long term outlook for silver.

I am in to a certain extent but I am contemplating a more adventuresome commitment which would not just maintain my purchasing power but could be life changing.

TIA

Ted Butler did what he did for reasons of his own and out of loyalty to his own values. I don't think he considers that his efforts over the years were a form of self sacrifice in any sense.

I have learned from reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and her essays in The Objectivist Newsletter and The Virtue of Selfishness just how her understanding of ethics differs from traditional, conventional understanding.

As I understand it she holds that each human being has a right to his or her own life and that the moral purpose of that life is his or her own happiness. She rejects the idea of self sacrifice being a virtue. She rejects the idea that one must live for the sake of others and one must hold other people's interests above one's own. 

I once knew a woman who devoted herself to service to others in her family. She never allowed herself to think of what she might want for herself. She had no goals of her own and suppressed desires of her own. She never married or even dated. She had no career and no goals in that direction. She lived with a married sister who took her to see a psychiatrist for treatment of her emptiness. Man is not a sacrificial animal and cannot live as one.

Ayn Rand proposes a philosophy for living on earth. The prevailing philosophy is incompatible with Man's nature which explains why we are in the trouble you witness in our society. Altruism justifies sacrificing men for the alleged benefits of others. Need constitutes a claim on the productive and the able. Altruism enables the societal programs which are bankrupting the country. 

Fortunately the antidote is known. Ayn Rand called her philosophy Objectivism. www.atlassociety.com www.aynrand.org www.fff.org www.objectivistliving.com 

Watch for the first of a trilogy of Atlas Shrugged recently filmed and in post production.

Better still, read the book to see why it is so high on the best seller list at amazon almost thirty years after its author died and fifty-three years after it was first published in 1957.

I think it was Dorothy Parker who after reading Ayn Rand quipped : " It (Atlas Shrugged) should not be put down lightly, rather, it should be thrown with great force".

What, "you never pushed a noun against a verb except to blow up something" ???
