WoW, I see you've really been chugging on the Hatorade! Becareful, wouldn't want you to choke.

No, but they need to at least evaluate the opportunity. If they don't, they'll get swindled. Just like you did when people dragged you into this shitty "gold-by-the-gram-in-gaudy-plastic-cards" scam.
By "what is before them", I was referring to the upcoming event I believe will be the global financial reset. But who knows, ...it may not be an event with great fanfare, ...it could simply be a slow painful gradual death, bleeding green ink as it whimpers & gasps for air... kind of like whats taking place now.
You got swindled and now you're trying to swindle others.
LOL, Trust me when I tell you, I did NOT get swindled. Far from it.
People don't need to have a specialized degree. But then again, most people don't try to sit here, drumming up how the economy is past the brink and is collapsing as we speak (has it happened yet?) in an effort to peddle their wares.
Wake Up! There happens to be some serious poo about to hit the fan.
You keep forgetting something... I don't sell gold. I'm acquiring it.
There are basically 4 ways to acquire Gold1) You can inherit it (Is that in your future? It wasn't in mine)
2) You can mine or pan for it. (Alot of people do it. Zimbabweans do it everyday, just to survive from day to day after Mugabe printed their currency into oblivion. Truth be told tho... my manicure screams, just thinking about it)
3) You can purchase it out of your own pocket (This is probably the most common way people acquire gold) which means you're always running around trying to find the best 'just over spot price' dealer you can find, but worse, you're always limited by how much discretionary income you have available that is not already committed to your existing obligations (rent/mortgage, bills, food, clothing, tuition etc.)
4) The least known way to acquire Gold, is to set up a gold savings account, and use a SYSTEM, founded upon 4 Timeless & Proven Wealth Creation Principals. This system creates a perpetual like Gold acquisition account, that provides the gold to you from the SYSTEM, and NOT out of your own pocket. The system spins off residual income (cash flow) and gold, empowering account holders to acquire far more gold through the system, than they could ever acquire if using method #3
If you or anyone else wants to use methods 1 thru 3, hey, knock yourself out. I am using method #4
You, on the other hand, post nonsense from any source you can find - and when challenged you reply with the "I saw it, I posted it" defense.
You are a scammer - you just aren't as sleek as most scammers are. First you peddled gas pills.
Actually, I'm rather sleek. I'm not slick, and I don't try to be, ...but sleek...I am that.
But ya, I sold mpg caplets... what of it? I saved a fortune in fuel costs, ...and so did the truckers I sold them to. In some cases, ...it made the difference between many of these guys staying in business or parking their rigs. I even had one guy who I was able to help knock $68,000 off his annual fuel costs. An extra $68,000 added to your bottom line in a year goes a long way. He was even able to get his 2nd rig back on the road. Those mpg caplets also saved many others from having to endure costly mechanic fees in order to pass emissions testing. I make no apologies for that. Infact, I'm rather proud of that actually.
Now you're peddling gold.
For the umpteenth time... I don't sell gold.
And you'll be offering in-car handjobs for $20 soon enough.

Now that is just straight up rude, tacky, classless and out of line.
You're getting far too carried away with yourself.
Yeah... you don't give financial advice; you share opinions. First of all, it's a meaningless distinction that you attempt to hide behind. More importantly, your opinions are worth nothing - even the shitty plastic cards you sell are worth more. You know nothing about economics, so your opinions on the subject are about as good as the opinions of a greengrocer on differential cryptanalysis, or a heavy metal musician on the finer points of thrust-vectored exhausts in next-generation fighter jets.
You done yet? ... I guess not...
As for the "experts" whose words you repost - don't make me laugh. You try to pass idiots like "Pastor Lyndsey Williams" as experts. They whip their followers up into a frenzy about the inevitable doom and disaster that's just around the corner and then, just when all seems lost, they offer the solution, like Manna from heaven.
{smile} Actually, I wouldn't consider Lyndsey Williams an expert... he's just a guy who claims to have "insider information." He's been accurate on a few things, but I tend to take him with a huge grain of salt.

By experts... I'm referring more to guys like Jim Sinclair, Jim Willie, Mike Maloney, James Turk, Chris Powell, Adrian Douglas (may he RIP) Peter Schiff, Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, Egon Von Greyerz, Eric Sprott, Alasdair McLeod, Gerald Celente, Jim Rickards etc., etc.,
Let me be very clear: you're stupid and having learned a term or two about economics, you've convinced yourself that that equates to understanding and you are now trying to convince people to invest their money in a bad product. You're a fucking shyster.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to invest in anything.
I don't give investment advice.
A misrepresentation has been made, and I am simply clarifying what it is I am doing. I AM acquiring my gold from a Stuttgart based e-Commerce company, using a system that rewards me quite well to exchange an increasingly worth-less money-substitute (fiat paper currency) for real money (gold). The gold that I acquire through my account is not a speculative "investment" for trading. It's an account that empowers me to save in gold. I'm not looking to sell my gold, I'm accumulating it in transaction, friendly weights.
My system pays me quite generously 5x's a month. In my system, every Friday, and every 1st of the month, are PAYDAYs, which spin off pure profit (denominated in €) as well as gold.
Please, proceed to educate us on how valuable gold is. Remember, this is a product that you claim you are receiving for free. How does that factor into the whole value analysis?
I'm not a teacher, ...and I don't claim to provide financial education, ...but for me it's pretty simple. So simple it's elementary. It boils down to these very simple reasons:
Gold has a 6,000+ year old track record as money that's been all positive
Fiat paper currency has a track record that's been quite negative.
History is littered with what many refer to as "The Fiat Currency Graveyard"
In 1971, one gram of gold would have bought 5 loaves of bread.
In 1971, one dollar (FRN) would have bought 4 loaves of bread.
Fast forward 43 years later after the link between gold & the FRN was severed:
That same one gram of gold 43 years later, now buys 20 loaves of bread.
That same one US Dollar (FRN) however now only buys less than 1/3 of a loaf of bread.
As Bernanke prints money, the FRN rapidly loses its purchasing power, as well as it's desirability as a reserve currency. In my opinion, it's already dead in the water. While gold's overall purchasing power on the other hand, has largely remained quite constant over the years if not increased in purchasing power. Historically, in times of financial duress, the gold price has always moved to reflect the amount of currency in circulation. Those who refuse or perhaps are incapable of learning the lessons from history, are doomed to repeat it, and the USA seems determined to make the same mistakes made by China, France, Germany, Zimbabwe, ...and a slew of others. As such, I will be saving real money (gold) instead of the money substitute (fiat currency)
The spot price of gold has fallen below the production price. That makes it undervalued. Mines are shutting down production. Above ground stores of gold are being drained. Weekly Gold shipments into China alone exceed global production. It's just basic common sense that pretty soon, there's gonna be a shortage.
And Harold Camping believed the world would end in May 21st 2011 - a figure later revised to October 21st of that same year. When the end of the world didn't come, he claimed he was flabbergasted. So you know what? Fuck your beliefs.
ROTFLMAO
I don't need your permission, understanding, or approval to make decisions in my own life. I'm acquiring gold, ...and I've chosen to do so using Method #4. You're welcome to choose Methods 1 thru 3 if you like, ...or stay in a fiat paper currency money substitute. It's your choice, ...it's your life.
Can you provide a reasoned argument based on facts? If you can't, then take your beliefs and keep them along with the flotsam and jetsam in the tepid bathwater inside your cranium.
I just did.
OK, so first things first: an ISO/IEC 7810 plastic card (i.e. a plastic card the size of a typical credit card) is not a gold bar.
No, a plastic card the size of a credit card is
NOT the gold bar, and I never claimed it was. I don't know how you could have possibly gotten that impression, but it is incorrect. The credit card sized plastic card is the certificate of authenticity that surrounds the gold bar. The gold bullion bar is embedded within the certificate of authenticity, and always travels with the certificate, thereby empowering an individual to take physical possession of the gold from out of the vault, without having the same burden of proof that exists for any other asset class of gold.
Second, that plastic card (which is over 90% plastic) cannot be 999.9 pure gold since it's over 90% plastic.

Are you serious? Or are you just trying to be difficult? Sometimes it hard to tell with you.
The plastic card is plastic.
The gold bar is 999.9 pure 24 KT gold produced by a LBMA Good Delivery List refinery.
Let's get real here. By your line of reasoning my manicurist is a shyster because when i get nail polish from her, it comes in a glass bottle, and had a plastic lid... with a brush attached... and therefore it couldn't possibly be genuine nail polish. Come to think of it, the owners of my local bakery must be a bunch of shysters too. Whenever, I get bread from them, it comes in either a paper or plastic bag, ...sometimes it even has a twist-tie on the end, and occasionally a little plastic thingy.

Third, you're trying to get people to buy into a proprietary, non-portable, non-liquid form factor that's not even cost-effective.
Incorrect again. I really don't care if someone uses the same system I am. What's most important to me, is that I AM using this system. Like I said previously, ...you're welcome to acquire your gold using Methods 1 through 3 if that's your preference. Method #4 simply makes the most sense to me. I also happen to find it to be the most cost-effective as well.
Oh, and you know... every time you say "no out-of-pocket cost" you are advertising to everyone that the product that you're selling them has no value. Only something of no value is routinely given away.
That may be what you're hearing, ...but it's certainly not what I'm saying.
Again, I'm not selling anything.
I know the methodology used to arrive to your conclusions - I've seen others use it before, on a wide variety of subjects: "If a statement agrees with my existing beliefs, then it's valid. Otherwise it's not. If someone challenges me, I'll say the same thing again. If they continue challenging me, I'll post some links to others who share my existing beliefs and are, therefore, right. If the person still insists on challenging me, then I will make references about how they don't understand, or they refuse to see, or are blinded by something. I'm smart. I can't go wrong. Yay me."
Some "methodology".
Discuss what? You've already admitted you don't know economics. You've already established that you know jackshit about the bullion market. Why should I waste my time to get a "two-way voice conversation" with you only to hear you regurgitate the same incoherent shit you type?
But you know... perhaps the "for shits and giggles" factor is enough. Tell you what, let's have that "voice conversation." Only, it's not going to be just two way. It's going to be on a Google hangout - a public one, so that anyone from on here who wants to will be able to join and listen to you spout your nonsense. It will be recorded and posted on here, so that people will be able to listen to you make an even bigger ass out of yourself. And it will serve as a warning to anyone on the web that googles the name "Karatbars" by giving them a chance to not only learn what a scam Karatbars are, but to see exactly the caliber of idiot they're going to be dealing with.
I thought you were shy, ...and didn't like to reveal yourself unless you were oiled-up, on-stage, ...and in a thong?

Yeah, you've mentioned your multiple billionaire friends, all of whom flock to you - the person who admits to knowing nothing about economics and who peddles mail-order gas pills and gold by the gram - for investment advice.
When did I ever say they "flock to me for investment advice?"
its more like the other way around. i believe what i said is that they respect and often welcome my opinions, when we have discussions... discussions on a variety of topics.
