"JWR's Investment Recommendations
I hold to to the Austrian School of economics and tend toward Contrarian 
Investing. 

My view of the current global economic situation is that we are in the early 
stages of a massive liquidity crisis, caused by central bank interest rate 
manipulation that caused massive malinvestment in equities and real estate. 
There are trillion of dollars in bad debts that need to be "unwound." 
Meanwhile, the derivatives market has grown to enormous proportions and could 
implode at any time. (see my background article: Derivatives--The Mystery Man 
Who'll Break the Global Bank at Monte Carlo.


As a survivalist, I strongly believe that you should get your Beans, Bullets, 
and Band-Aids squared away before you "invest" any extra capital in any 
investment vehicle! 

After you are on a secure footing logistically, then I recommend that you do 
some investment research at these web sites:

Dr. Gary North

Swiss America (Precious metals sales, Gold IRAs, books, and web commentary. 
Highly recommended.) 

The Contrary Investor's Cafe (merged with Comet Gold--Great analysis, 
commentary and discussion forums).

The Daily Reckoning (General economics and precious metals commentary. They 
have an excellent free daily e-mail newsletter)

Eastern Numismatics (One of the lowest-priced precious metals dealers. Sells 
both numismatics and bullion.)

Gold-Eagle (Precious metals news and commentary)

The Moneychanger (Franklin Sanders)

John Mauldin

Kitco (Precious metals charts, news, and commentary)

Mish Shedlock's Global Economic Trend Analysis Blog

Colorado Gold (Don Stott)

Gold is Money  (Discussion forums and other resources on precious metals 
investing)

Freebuck.com

Global Economic Trend Analysis blog (Mish Shedlock)

Coinflation (Base metal coin values)
