Take me with you
When you come for your church
Take me with you
Please don’t leave me on earth
’cause the signs say you’re comin’ soon
and I want to be sure
Oh Lord, take me with you

I don’t why you’ve been so gracious to me
I know it’s nothin’ I ever done
But if you could find a way to grant me this plea
Even if it’s the only one

Take them with you
When you come for your church
Take them with you
Please don’t leave them on earth
’cause the signs say you’re comin’ soon
and I want to be sure
Oh Lord, take them with you

Well it’s later then we thought before
and our souls will last forever more
Can they really see what is eternity?

You’ve got just one chance, it’s called your life
Will you trust in Jesus sacrifice?
Can you really see what is eternity?

I don’t why you’ve been so gracious to me
I know it’s nothin’ I ever done
But if you could find a way to grant me this plea
Even if it’s the only one

Take them with you
When you come for your church
Take them with you
Please don’t leave them on earth
’cause the signs say you’re comin’ soon
and I want to be sure
Oh Lord, take them with you

    BrotherJohnF

    very good to see that you are back. I was shocked to the news that you had physical trouble.

    You will get a lot of good advices how to fix it, don’t let them fool you. You need to heal it, not only keeping it under control with medicine (sideeffects, not fixing the actual problem). There are ways. I’ve read a book written by a German called Dr Schnitzler.
    http://www.dr-schnitzer.de/introe1.html

    He describes the way to heal !!! the high blood pressure by concentrating on NATURAL food…..Forget this industry junk.

    OK, I don’t want to rant.

    All the best for you.

    I hate to rag on you, but your $100 Silver by end of 2011 and BofA bankruptcy calls were so wrong in the short/mid term that its hard to listen with you. I am just trying to keep it real.

    I love the work you do, but you always forget that the laws of economics do not exist in these time frames! Please take into account the lack of rule of law and manipulation in your predictions going forward. People are placing their bets for these time frames and are getting killed!

    The Gold Quake Memorandum Is Coming!

    You’ll read about the secret history of gold, the central banking cartel and why neither the Fort Knox Depository nor the New York Federal Reserve Bank storage facility in NYC likely have more than a tiny fraction of the gold holdings they claim for the US and other nations like Germany and Switzerland and other central banks of the world.

    It is alleged that the NY Fed has 7,000 tons of gold as of October 2011 and nearly 98% of the gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is owned by the central banks of foreign nations. The rest is owned by the United States and international organizations such as the IMF.

    We believe the pittance of gold bullion stored at these two locations will never have an honest outside audit simply because the gold is not there any longer. A bigger problem is the citizens of Germany and Switzerland are the first of many nations now wanting their gold returned to their home nations but this will never happen and they have no recourse. They can’t push or threaten either the US nor the Federal Reserve to return the gold or even demand a reputable outside audit because this would cause a global run on all fiat currencies.

    When this becomes common knowledge then the gold price spike as well as the global currency and political collapse foretold in the Gold Quake Memorandum will be upon us. You can reserve a free online PDF copy to be released no later than December 23, 1913 (the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Reserve) by e-mailing goldquakememorandum@yahoo.com

    John,

    Do you realize that Argentina is again suffering from about 27% annual inflation. In 3 years that is 100 percent price inflation or hyper inflation. The people there are again really suffering. The 27 percent is from sources other than the official government source.

    BrotherJohnF, It is very difficult to read the red blog post titles on a dark gray background. Your blog subtitle is white on a grayscale background (some of which is white) and guess how much of it is legible. Your former blog style was much better, IMHO.

    Thanks for all you do!

    Did you hear about Kramer says that silver is junk.

  14. mr T says:

    thx 4 ur channel. always informative.

    a while back you made a vid about estimating junk silver in existence, ie how many coins would be melted etc.

    there are two interesting information pieces on that…

    one is reading the http://www.silverstealers.net body of research and find every reference to “melt” in it. if you haven’t come across it before its an interesting read and history is definitely starting to repeat itself.

    the other interesting one was a talk Salinas Price gave at the Chevit sound money conference. his father was actually at a refinery.

    Hey BrotherJohnF –

    If you’re really looking to monetize the site, I’d recommend adding a forum (if you weren’t already planning to do so). You will show up in searches for many long tail phrases, thus building your customer base as well as creating more reasons for new users and regulars to frequent the site even more.

    Hi BrotherJohnF

    I am an ordinary person, I live in the UK. I have become ever more interested in economics and markets since the crash of 2008 and have sought to educate myself. I trawled through all the stuff available like anybody else. I started following you through your YouTube posts. Since then I have come to trust your opinion and benefit from the pointers you provide. I appreciate your service.
    I want to suggest something to you that you might consider, it is more my problem than yours. I find that the size of your page taxes the capacity of my computer. My computer re-sets before it allows me to view the entire page. For my part, I am upgrading my computer memory, however, I am sure there are many viewers out there who cannot [afford to] do this. Can you make your pages smaller and provide an ‘older post’ option? Many might ridicule this, but many of your viewers have little choice but to work with what they have. They can’t upgrade with you.
    Your site has improved immensely, but I ask on behalf of those who might lose touch. I know everything moves on, but a small change would mean many won’t be left behind.
    Ed

  23. I seldom leave comments, however i did a few searching and wound up here About. And I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it just me or does it look like some of these remarks look like written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    I totally love this site but I feel its going the wrong way. I started coming here because your video updates, your way of thinking is great and really starts me thinking. I enjoy listening to your point of view in your video’s and your ideas.

    We have not had an update for ages now, I feel lost!! But regarding the content of the vids we don’t really need the blog roll, most of us visit this site and go through it anyway its great to have some news in one place but the reason I started coming here was your video updates.

    Keep up the good work JohnF

        I don’t think you understand what I was saying,I probably didnt write it correctly. I visit this site probably 10 times a day.

        • Glenn says:

          Steve, I do agree with you but I wouldn’t go as far to say this site is headed in the wrong direction. I think Brotherjohn’s efforts have been more focused recently on getting on his blog up and going, but at the same time I totally agree that BrotherJohns insights on his silver updates are the reason I came here in the first place, and while these postings are good – they are no substitute, but I’m far from criticizing such a good resource from a guy who’s incredibly sharp! I think he is doing all he can to provide us a resource to help guide us through some difficult times ahead.

    I like your entertaining videos but still cannot understand why you bother to explain in detail the messages that the charts are giving you.

    I think by now everyone knows the market and the charts are rigged. Why talk about “break-out” formations when the upward or downward movement of the chart is being cynically manipulated?

    It is like the Gods of Olympus deciding on tomorrow’s weather. They can either make it rain or be sunny with the wave of a hand. It doesn’t really matter how many “signs” you see as a mortal that the weather is going to be sunny if by a wave of the hand the Gods decide it should rain.

      • Ron says:

        John,

        The numbers of quarters, dimes, halves and dollars is correct. The total oz minted only adds up the Morgan and Peace dollars. You will have to add up the remainder to get the actual total.

    Dear BrotherJohn

    MF Global segregated accounts. Are you correct?

    Surely people giving money to MF Global is like giving money to a bank for a savings account.
    When you open a bank savings account and deposit $100 then that money becomes the bank’s to with it what they want. The bank only OWES the customer a debt of $100. If the bank goes bust then so does your money.

    Excellent blog BrotherJohnF.

    Thanks for the Ron Paul coverage.

    I thought it interesting how he was projected to be way in front in Iowa…and yet still dismissed as not being a viable candidate, but simply a “spoiler”. Soon there-after came the silly-ness of moving the vote counting to Illinois and secret meetings where Romney and Santorum agree on how to “count” the votes…when just recently, both Romney and Santorum were well behind.

    I think people should not forget about all the Diebold curiosities and vote tabulating fraud that has gone on in the past. Florida is a known offender in this voter fraud sham they got cookin’ so it’s obvious that shenanigans can be gotten away with.

    As an aside….Goldseek radio has excellent interviews. The host is very similar to the KingWorldNews host….they are both great at giving interviews. Anyways, nuggets come out during the week….then put together in an entire show for listening each Saturday. Just thought it was worthy of a link on your blogroll.

    Markets correct through either price or time. The major corrections on the silver chart are apparent with one occurring from March through October of ’08 via price decline, another from January through August of ‘10 via a sideways (time) consolidation, and most recently from May ’10 to today via another price decline. Each correction lasted approximately eight months. This recent correction should be nearing completion and may most likely be marked by an event.

  43. tincup says:

    If gold is simply an ancient relic to which people have been attracted simply because of its shine, just another commodity as Ben Bernanke states and has no investment value as the mainstream media put it, then why is The US Government hoarding it? At much lower prices, there are potentially endless industrial uses for gold from which society could benefit. Gold is relatively chemically inert and could find many wonderful uses in corrosive chemical processes, electronics, and medicine. Why does our government stand in the way of such progress by keeping our gold off the market and not dispensing of it for the good of society? The selling of our gold in Fort Knox would eliminate the expense of protecting it while opening up a vast array of industrial and commercial uses as its price falls. Our government has a paper printing machine; why do they need our gold? Gold hasn’t been used as a basis for currency in decades and is therefore of no value to our government. This is a serious question that is never asked.

    The hoarding of gold by our government is, to the contrary, the elimination of gold as a commodity. What if the government decided to stash away all iron ore or all wheat, corn or other food stuffs away from society? Would people just accept that? Then why do people accept the fact that the government keeps all of our gold from our use? Logic tells us that something else is at work here to which the government does not dare admit. Is it that the only true forms of money are still gold and silver as proven by their own actions? I believe so.

  44. I visit your blog every day now. Love the information you post. I really love when you go through the big coin sites and share your thoughts on which coins are the best buy on any given day. Please continue to show us what you think are the best semi-numismatic coins to purchase.

    Does anyone know how to remove “milk spots” from Canadian coins? The Royal Canadian Mint says that white stains (or “milk spots”) result from the planchet (flan) cleaning and preparation process. They claim that it sometimes occurs on Maples because those coins are bullion coins, not collector coins. My experience is that these spots occur on Cougars and Grizzly’s as well. Until I know how to clean them, I will be staying away from Canadian coins.

  48. boulos says:

    brother john, Love your updates. a couple corrections though. Tulving site you were on the wrong page and gave quotes for their buy price.their minimums on silver are 500 ounces no matter what size you choose 1oz. 5oz. 10oz. 100oz. and spot + price is always per ounce even on 100oz.bar thats why it seemed cheap to you..not a criticism just correcting some facts. Keep up the good work.

  49. tincup says:

    There is no doubt that the long-term price movement in silver is geometrically upward. On that basis, we fortunately seem to have one last visit to the basement where SLV may hit around $24.5 by the end of January. At that point, one had better be onboard with physical ownership as one can never precisely catch a market bottom. When the public realizes that a discount sale is on, the store can get crowded very quickly. Buy physical silver while the prevailing psychology is negative and before the shops doors blow wide open. Current prices are nowhere near the true supply and demand fair value.

    Concerning availability and premiums – Of course, it seems reasonable to always pay the lowest possible premiums on anything. But in the much larger picture, if lower premium numismatics availability is an issue, isn’t the higher premium paid for others rather insignificant? Consider, silver spot prices at $29, a Koala for $39, and a Cougar for $34.00. When the price of silver goes to $100 an ounce, the Koala could be worth $134 and the Cougar $117. Although one pays 14% more for the Koala today, is it still not worth 14% more at the $100 price level? Assuming premiums are applied fairly and competitively and that they don’t shrink at higher prices, there seems to be little reason for not buying those higher priced numismatics today if lower premium coins are not available. In other words, it should not prevent one from continuing to stack silver. Do you not agree?

    • It’s going to be interesting to watch what happens to the premiums when prices start rising. My guess is the high quality numismatics will become even more coveted, even though they were had for just a buck or more over spot than the others

    Dear BrotherJohnF,
    I found your latest silver update very interesting as usual. I have a suggestion regarding the symmetries of names and characteristics of individuals. You should read Charles Dickens! His books are full of very accurate observation on the nature of people, especially the scoundrels and criminals. I am often reminded of Dickens when I see names of characters and wonder if God asks Dickens to choose names for particular individuals!

How I wish I’d known about this world of gold & silver coinage years ago, but, I didn’t, I was a sheeple actually believing the propoganda ……… I’m teaching my adult children. Sincerely …..

    BJF,

    What is your favorite website to buy silver from? I use goldsilver.com, but not the best rates I’ve noticed.

    Investing in silver futures contracts a good idea or just keep stackin physical?

    Thanks

    Hi BrotherJohnF — Been watching your videos for close to a year now, and I wanted to thank you for all the time you dedicate to this subject. Your office series really opened my eyes when I first started stacking silver.

    Have you noticed the prices of junk silver on ebay going for anywhere from $34-$50/oz? Is this the disconnect from the paper market we’ve been waiting for since silver spot price currently sits at $27.86?

    I’d like to hear your thoughts.

  60. Have you ever noticed how the Canadian 1 oz gold maple has a face value of $50 and the Canadian 1 oz silver maple has a value of $5? Basically a 10 to 1 ratio, gold to silver ratio.

    We analyze the SLV only for the purposes of seeing what the mass of uninitiated may do to the paper price of silver. If the number of participants in the SLV market is large enough, one might assume that the principles of supply and demand hold true to some degree. If true, then the objective is to determine where price and demand cross. Price and demand meet where the greatest number of trades occur because the price at that point is considered fair. On the SLV chart, we see that at each successive low, the volume decreases. SLV price and volume on 5/12/11 was 33.32 & 1,845,000, on 9/6/11 it was 29.768 & 734,900 and on 12/29/11 it was 27.068 & 248,200. This indicates that the market participants considered the price of silver at each new low as not fair. The market will return to the price levels where high volume trades occurred, such as 33.72 & 2,954,000 on 5/5/11. The positive divergence between momentum indicators and price are now even more positive and Fibonacci retracement levels are still holding true . Silver is in extremely oversold territory with the SLV now outside the semi-log price channel, a violent snap back into the channel can be anticipated and a move to the other side of the upper channel line would not be unexpected. Purchase physical silver only, not the SLV. The SLV is only used by us for analysis purposes as it eventually may be the only place left for the late comers to put their money as they believe they are buying real silver via the SLV.

    Great Blog!

    I was wondering what you are thinking about the ‘Armenian Noah’s Ark 1oz Silver Coin’. It’s not a numismatic silver coin yet (or is it?), because they’re minted only since mid of 2011. So of course it is not really widespread yet …. Actually it is at a price level similar to the Austrian Philharmonic or even lower (at least at my local precious metals dealer or on German Ebay site – and at least for the introduction phase of this coin). They are supposed to be bullion coins only, as they have a consistent theme stamped each year. But as beautiful as I think this coin is, I could imagine it will somewhen have a higher (collectors) value as well ?! (in fact there is only one on ebay.com for 52 bucks right now).
    Anyway, I think everybody who can get a grab on these at their current cheap price levels here in europe shoud get some, because I think they will go higher …

    Any thoughts on this? Because I havn’t seen you covering this Coin anywhere on your site yet …

    I also think that numismatic coins will only hold a higher value per ounce up to a certain price level… But I can’t imagine what price that could be…

  63. Mark says:

    Love the videos! In your last video you hinted (I believe) the numismatic coins will only hold a hire value per ounce up to a particular price level. Will the 2X to 3X spot price eventually disappear?

    Any thoughts on 1996 ASE’s?

    Do you have a past video explaining how to interpret the Mac D charts?

    Merry Xmas,

    Mark

    • Ron says:

      You asked about some coin dealers who use the “real time” Comex spot price in order to develop their own “sell price” for silver. You mentioned 4 (APMEX, Gainesville, Provident and Tulving). Here are some others: Mintproducts, BullionDirect and Northwest Territorial Mint.

  64. tincup says:

    Back to the SLV as an indication of where silver is going. Whether one puts any confidence in Fibonacci numbers or not is not important, because the technical and program traders do and they respond to them as well as to perceived Elliot waves. So these things are worth evaluating. A primary wave starting in 10/2008 and ending on 04/28/2011 has retraced 50%. A secondary wave starting in 08/2010 and also ending on 04/28/011 has retraced approx. 61.8%. A 50% correction in a bull market is a normal correction and 61.8% correction is an extended correction and is an immediate reversal level. Confluence exists between these two corrections. In other words, 50% of the primary and 61.8% of the secondary occur at nearly the same price point, around 28.5. Elliot waves normally correct in three waves which is exactly what we see from the 04/28/2011 high to the 09/26/2011 low. The pattern is nearly symmetrical. A Fibonacci projection would put the 100% completion of the corrective wave at $26.5, but in a strong bull market the completion may truncate slightly. BrotherJohn, you are exactly right on your analysis and now looks to be the time to stack for 2012 and beyond. This is the best gift in over a year.

  65. tincup says:

    Use a linear price scale chart of the SLV and draw semi-log trendlines from the trough made in October, 2008. Draw three lines to form an price channel. The bottom of the channel goes from the 10/2008 low through the 2/2010 low, the 08/2010 low then the 09/2011 low. The upper semi-log channel trendline goes from the 10/2008 high to the 04/2011 peak and similarly pass through many peak highs. Draw the center of the price channel mid-way through these upper and lower channel lines. The center line catches numerous temporary highs and lows. Finally, extend these price channel lines along with the right-hand side of the chart to January, 2013. The channel indicates a December, 2012 low of $46, an mid-range price of $76 and a channel high of $140. Also note the positive divergence of price against the RSI(14), MACD, and Profitunity MACD, at the recent low and the 09/26/2011 low. Things are looking very positive, even with the counterfeit paper silver SLV.

  66. Brotherjohnf, you talk about moving out of the country if Ron Paul doesn’t win. I considered this myself although not sure yet and no definitive idea on where to.
    The guys writing at dollarvigilante are buying houses in Cafayate, north of Argentina in a remote place. A bit funny when you consider that Argentina is the least pro market, Chile being better, but this spot is isolated.
    I wanted to know WHERE would you be considering moving? Towards Asia?

    Here are 2 relevant articles regarding this subject.

    Hey John I think the yahoo message board for SLV frustrates you for the same reasons it used to frustrate me at one time. That is, until I twigged on the fact that the people who bash physical on the SLV message board are the same people who own and support the SLV ETF itself. It’s a totally weird dynamic and totally mirrors the disconnects in the system.

  68. David says:

    BrotherJohnF,

    Perhaps you knew this already, but I just typed in $SILVER:JPM at stockcharts dot com and found that BOTH smackdowns this year in silver happened when the ratio of silver to jpm went strongly above 1. Kindof weird.

    Hi BrotherJohnF,

    you are doing a really great job here. The blog and your videos are fantastic.
    I know silver is your topic, but I have a question to an unrelated subject.

    Are you conversant with the conspiracy about the iraqi dinar and its revaluation?

    If you are, it would be a pleasure to hear your opinion about that.

    Regards from Germany!

    Hi – this is my first time but have followed you for a while. Thank you for your videos always.

    Your challenge is an interesting one. I do not have any deep info on Silver apart from what I read.

    I am only hypothising (spelling)…

    What if the SLV actually has more physical Silver than their shares – a stockpile that has been developed over years where it was collected at below $5 and that is the reason it was formed to start selling the physical at higher prices. Almost like the diamond industry has a stockpile which keeps diamonds of the market creating an imbalance in the demand -supply chain. The higher price pays for the operating costs.

    Governments sold of their stockpile – perhaps into the hands of these secretive bankers! I also have read the Silverstealers and there is an Ebook on the History of silver in which is goes through the time when Britain paid the Chinese (Asians) in Silver – this is after the opium trade. Then when they got rid of all the silver they demonetized it and in that way devalued it and China sat with all the silver. So basically could it be the cycle in reverse now. By the way the Chinese must be feeling somewhat irate with the West as China is left holding the bag once again (the third time round) in the form of dollars and US Treasuries and the West is trying to devalue them again.

    So if history is a guide between East and West – first there was payment for trade by opium, then Silver and now dollars and all have the same consequences. The West doesn’t want to pay??

    Interested to hear your view. Thanks

    Hi BrotherJohn:

    Great Great blog!!. Just stumble upon it while doing my research on buying precious metals.

    Was wondering if you ever gave any thought on what would happen to silver if we moved back into a gold standard.

    Keep up the great work.
    Steve

  72. Great blog and you tube channel. I’ve been following your updates for sometime. Keep up the good work. Regards, Frank

    Hey BrotherjohnF I am totally addicted to your YouTube videos. They are so entertaining. You, Max Keiser,Davinchij15 and others have given me an awakening to buying silver.I used to collect silver coins as a kid but stopped until February 2011. I now live and breathe silver. As a kid I wondered why my Italian Grandfather (who lived in a middle class house in Portland OR) had jars of junk silver hidden all around his house and garden until they day he died in 2003 as he feared a fiat money collapse 20 or 30 years ago! I’m from Seattle and I live in Seattle

    Hi BrotherJohnF
    I love your YouTube presentations. Thanks for the recent re-direction to your site.
    I’m English but live in France and buy Silver through BullionVault. My eventual plan is to get out when the ratio is under 20 to Gold and buy British Gold Sovereigns.
    I have recently started buying the French Silver coin 50 Franc “Hercule” from coin shops. It has ,8680 of a troy ounce in Silver and was issued between 1974 -1980.
    The French really haven’t caught on yet and you can buy them for spot or just under.
    They really are a beautiful large coin.
    I’d love to hear your opinion.

      This must be the George Silver that posted at Silverdoctors that Jim Sinclair is terrible and so forth..

      I listened to that interview and I have no idea what you are talking about.

      I am not surprised that you are English and living in France.

      I am very negative on the British and do not wish them well.

      Miserable people, live in small houses that creek, Brown probably sold all the gold you have left, full of young jihadists, full of “journalists” and loathsome souls such as David Icke and others.

      Good move to leave that wretched island but please dont cross the pond. We have enough here in Canada pushing liberalism and reconciliation.
