It Was Probably A Mistake To Buy Gold Now...

 ...but yesterday, I purchased ten 1/10th ounce gold coins from SD Bullion. Besides the already super high price of an ounce of gold, they add a premium, and the premium for coins smaller than an ounce if substantially higher than it would have been if I had purchased a one ounce coin, by about $180 more. The only advantage to buying smaller coins that I can see is if our economy tanks and bullion is then used as currency. Having coins of lessor weight and thus value helps assure that you do not need to cut down larger coins and helps assure that if you are ripped off, you may lose less in value because you only carried what you needed. For instance if someone was was charging the value of 1.4 ounces of gold for a product, you do not need to bring two one ounce coins to the bargaining table and then need to try to cut one precisely; instead, you can bring the exact amount in smaller coins, like a one ounce coin and four 1/10 ounce coins. Then if ripped off, your other bullion is hopefully still stashed away safely.
 
Anyway, unless gold goes up substantially, I will lose out on this purchase but then I am not buying while hoping to make a killing on a price increase. I am buying to have something to fall back on should the dollar's value collapse and a loaves of bread start being sold at hundreds of millions of dollars apiece. Think that could never happen, think again! It already did happen in pre-WW II Germany.
 
 "A loaf of bread in 1922, Germany cost 163 marks. In September 1923, it cost 1,500,000 marks and at the peak of German hyperinflation, a loaf of bread cost 200,000,000,000 Marks." More at the source: https://www.historydefined.net/german-hyperinflation/. No one expected it then and very few think or expect that it could happen now; yet, the truth is, as some say, shit happens.

Ballseye's Predictions

 I have a few predictions for the coming year, actually for the rest of this year and all of 2026. I am not wishing that any of these come true for anyone, I am just guessing that these things will happen, some only if other things I mention happen first. Most are prophecies of the gloom & doom type but some are also much nicer in outcome. The predictions of Nostradamus have nothing on mine.
 
1. Someone, of leftist, liberal, democrat ilk, will again attempt to assassinate President Trump and will succeed in at least seriously wounding him putting him in the hospital and out of commission for at least a three months.
 
2.VP Vance will take over the presidency, after the above takes place and he will be as strong & decisive as Trump was while in that position.
 
3. Illegal aliens from China (Chinese military personnel), admitted by the Biden administration, will attack our country from within doing great damage to our electrical grid. 
 
4. China will invade Taiwan and shortly thereafter will surreptitiously invade the United States of America in a sneak attack much worse than 9/11.
 
5. North Korea, Pakistan, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and others will ally with China and also attack U.S. interests.
 
6. Russia will attack at least one, if not more, eastern European members of NATO and will bomb Ukraine with multiple nuclear weapons. 
 
 7. Tens of thousands of U.S. citizens will ally with our enemies and a civilian militia of conservative types will unleash a fury upon them with the blessing of whoever is president at the time.
 
8. The U.S. will be forced to retaliate with nukes and WW III will kill over half the human population on the earth.
 
9. Japan, Australia, the UK (minus Ireland), Israel, several Arab nations, some few countries in South America, all of eastern Europe (outside of Russia & its current allies) and the remainder of western Europe will ally with the USA. 
 
10. India will attempt to remain neutral. Canada will attempt to do likewise, and will abandon the USA causing a civil war that ousts its current liberal government.
 
11. Nancy Pelosi will be killed by an assassin who beats her with a ball peen hammer and then shoots her to make sure the job is done. The assassin will be transgender with severe delusions of self importance and femininity who believes he is pregnant because, he claims President Trump raped him in the Lincoln bedroom.
 
12.  Mamdani, if he becomes mayor of NY, will be assassinated by someone hired by Soros in order to gain sympathy for socialism in the USA. Riots, by leftists, will ensue even though it will be proven that Soros was behind it.
 
13. The monarchy in the UK will come to an end.
 
14. Ballseye will win the largest Mega Millions prize ever and War III will break out the very next day eventually causing the U.S. dollar to crash (just my luck). 
 
15.Gold will hit $7659.17 per ounce within eight months of today (October 28, 2025).
 
16. Silver will hit an all time high of $185.00 per ounce around the same time as gold hits the above value.
 
17. The democrats will overwhelmingly win the 2028 election by way of voter fraud and the election results will be cancelled once the fraud is discovered. A new election date will be scheduled but on that day, riots will break out and marshal law will be declared; thousands of rioters will be killed or wounded. Schumer will be discovered as the mastermind behind the voter fraud and will commit suicide, in a federal lock-up, shortly after his arrest.
 
18. Once WW III is concluded, an actual Zombie Apocalypse will follow shortly thereafter. 
 
19. Ammunition prices will increase ten fold during WW III and go higher in the ZA. 
 
20. Ballseye (me) wakes up and realizes all of his predictions were part of a terrible nightmare. 
 
All the best,

Note: If you have not figured it out yet, this is a humorus fantasy post. I do not wish ill on anyone mentioned above, am not advocating any type of violence, nor suggesting or hoping that someone, anyone, does anything mentioned above, except for me waking up and then finding out I won the largest Mega Millions prize to date. (And that I will live in good health and fitness, for at least many years, to spend a lot of it it, leaving the remaining tens of millions to my son & daughter.)
