POPSKids Savings Account - Smart Parents Do It Teaching kids about abstract issues like choice and money can be challenging. A savings account of their own can go a long way toward bridging the gap between concrete items like coins and candy and abstract issues like choice and opportunity.

POPSTHE STORY BEHIND THE CHINESE BROUHAHA: LOST IN TRANSLATION INDEED Here’s the promised response from a representative of an international RMT site. I promised to keep his identity confidential. Anyway, I had asked him how he felt and what he did when the news about the supposed ban on gold farming broke out. Turns out our guy was as cool as a cucumber over the whole thing, though he does have something to say about the incident. A lot of words in fact, but worth the read .This should enlighten those among us who haven’t heard of "QQ coins" and how virtual currency makes the real world go round.

POPSIs Bartering Returning As Another Option In Our Lives? It used to be the way of the world before we believed in gold, or metal coins, and paper money. With the economy on shaky ground is this a glimpse into a new sustainable economic solution to global warming and related problems? Recycling used to also be very much a part of our way of life. I remember living in New Zealand and was amaze at how they would fix and fix and fix stuff and keep it going seemingly forever. Modern economic survival has contaminated that and basically made it too expensive for people to fix and reuse items. Parts for simple faults cost more than replacing the item. No wonder the world can often feel like one big rubbish dump, rather than the wondrous, beautiful living planet that it IS.

POPSE-Money (That’s What I Want) There is a host of reasons why we should adopt a “cashless” society: 1-the cost of printing bills and stamping coins (in 2008 taxpayers paid $848 million to print hundreds of billions of dollars worth of bills, two thirds of that went to minting coins that most of us find is a nuisance to handle.) 2-more than 14,823 tons of zinc, 23,879 tons of copper, and 2,514 tons of nickel went into making coins last year. 3-cash is germ-smeared, bulky, carbon-intensive and expensive. Two years ago, card-based payments exceeded paper-based ones – cash, checks, food stamps – for the first time. The most efficient method of commerce would be to use the cell phone as a point-of-sale terminal which would lend itself to bartering. Imagine paying for a beer with frequent flier miles. Killing currency wouldn’t be a trauma, it’s be euthanasia.

POPSTreasure hunters For two decades, Mr. Stemm and his colleagues have probed the deep sea, using sonar and robots to discover scores of interesting wrecks and thousands of artifacts. They have found treasures valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. At the news conference, Jason Williams, a television producer for the Discovery Channel, said four tons of gold coins would fetch about $125 million if melted down or $1 billion if sold for their historical value. Who said there are no adventures in the modern world?

POPSSheer unmitigated fear
Je0fN01 "It is sheer unmitigated fear: even institutions are looking for mattresses to put their money until the end of the year," (Marc Ostwald bond expert at Insinger de Beaufort). The market has moved into "backwardation" for the first time, meaning that futures contracts are now priced more cheaply than actual bullion prices. It appears that hedge funds in distress are being forced to cash in profits on gold futures to cover losses elsewhere or to meet redemptions by clients. But smaller retail investors – and perhaps some big players – are buying bullion in record volumes to store in vaults. latest data from World Gold Council shows demand for coins, bars, and ETFs doubled in third quarter to 382 tonnes = entire set of gold auctions by the Bank of England 1999 - 2002. stimulus by the US Fed and banks starting to have unintended consequences. The Bank of Japan reluctant to cut rates to zero again because of damage to money markets, US starting to face same dilemma.

POPSHold the Gold But there's another more puzzling aspect to the recent gold rush. Even as the demand for gold coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf or the Krugerrand of South Africa has grown, the market price of the precious metal itself is off its highs. In early October, the price of an ounce of gold on the spot market was about $930 an ounce. With the commodities bubble bursting in recent months, gold declined into the upper $600 range. Spot gold closed yesterday at $739.90, down $2.60. Bill Murphy, chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, says the price of spot gold is even more perplexing given the demand for coins and the fact that central banks in Europe have stopped selling gold into the open market.

POPS High Drama & High Finance Not only has Ferguson been described as 'the most brilliant historian of his generation' by The Times, he's been rated as 'one of the world's 100 most influential people' by Time magazine. From the first coins of ancient Mesopotamia to the rise of China and the credit crunch, via the Medicis of Renaissance Italy, the Scottish clergymen who created the first insurance company and the dynasty started by the first Nathan Rothschild, Ferguson provides a clear and masterful financial history of the world. He shows, for example, how the high-financial scam of a Scottish murderer resulted in the French Revolution, how the bond market settled the outcome of the American Civil War, and, chillingly, how a previous era of globalisation and prosperity was ended almost overnight by the surprise catastrophe of World War I.

POPSPraying for Wall St. And hoping no one notices the total hypocrisy of the situation. "Jesus is stated to have visited the Temple in Jerusalem, Herod's Temple, at which the courtyard is described as being filled with livestock and the tables of the money changers, who changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian money, which were the only coinage that could be used in Temple ceremonies. According to the Gospels, Jesus took offense to this (extorting profit from the exchange of monies), and so, creating a whip from some cords, drives out the livestock, scatters the coins of the money changers, and turns over their tables, and those of the people selling doves."

POPSBailout Creating a Financial Black Hole (cont.)The latest propaganda from the government and the Illuminist think tanks tells us that, treasuries are more secure than gold because they are backed by the US government and gold has a counter party risk by whoever is storing your gold as the counter party. I’ve never heard any stupider comments. The Fed has informed Bank of America to be ready for a one-week universal shutdown of the banking system, including access to checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards. This is why you need $5,000 in small bills in your safe at home and small denomination gold and silver coins.
