  PFTA9000 asked:

  LCS's in Tampa Bay? Or website that lists LCS by region? Will be in the St. Petersburg/Tampa area for awhile, not too familiar with the region. Figured I'd check out some LCSs to see what I find. Can anyone recommend some decent shops in the area? I'm not so much into numismatics, mainly stacking. Or are there any places online (forums, blogs, etc) that host a list of good coin/gold shops by region? Any help apprecaited. Edit: after looking closer at maps, I'll really be in the St. Petersburg area (flying into Tampa, didn't realize how far that was). I'll be mainly out west almost by the beach, also near Largo, Seminole and Pinellas Park, if that changes the recommendations

  Go to [money.org](https://money.org) and find dealers there. Most everyone who is reputable is a member of the ANA.

  Global G. asked:

  A natural problem or two is arising. Interest rates have been zeroed out for too long. As the three Fed stooges finally admitted last week, zero interest rates are only justified by crisis. Continued zero interest can mean only one of two things, we are still in a crisis behind the scenes or rising interest rates cannot be tolerated by markets with no margin left. Both of these are the reality! Before going any further, one thing needs to be made clear. Central banks do not, better said CANNOT set interest rates. Yes, they can push, pull, “suggest” and even buy sectors of the credit market to affect interest rates… …BUT ONLY in the short run. My point is this, “the short run” is ending!

  Background for upcoming argument (please be patient). WHAT DOES BLOOD, A TRANSISTOR, A CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP AND RISK CURVE FOR DEBT HAVE IN COMMON? They are all amplifiers! (You don't have to be an MD, Electrical Engineer, Computer Scientist, Financial Investor Loser, and Mathematician (like me) to see this. Just look at the curves below!) 1. Hemoglobin saturation-desaturation works like an amplifier for Oxygen uptake and release (necessary in metabolically active animals). The 'steep' portion of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is the range that exists at the systemic capillaries (a small drop in systemic capillary p(O2) can result in the release of large amounts of oxygen for the metabolically active cells). 2. An NPN transistor is a current (or voltage depending on configuration) amplifier. [Note transistors on integrated circuit boards for computers are not used as amplifiers, but rather as switches since they operate in the saturation zone and not in the amplifier zone.] The behavior of an NPN bipolar transistor is largely controlled by the current flowing into the base (i.e., a positive current). For the usual collector-emitter voltage drops (i.e., the active region: positive voltages from a fraction of a volt up to some breakdown voltage) the collector current (IC) is nearly independent of the collector-emitter voltage (VCE), and instead depends on the base current (IB). (This is unusual behavior: usually more voltage produces to more current, but here the current only increases slightly with increasing VCE.) The current gain, i.e., the ratio of the collector current to the base current, is often denoted by or hFE: = hFE = IC/IB (see diagram). 3. Credit Default Swap (the toxic derivatives that destroyed the global economy in 2008) An investor or speculator may “buy protection” to hedge the risk of default on a bond or other debt instrument, regardless of whether such investor or speculator holds an interest in or bears any risk of loss relating to such bond or debt instrument. In this way, a CDS is similar to credit insurance, although CDS are not subject to regulations governing traditional insurance. The "spread" of a CDS is the annual amount the protection buyer must pay the protection seller over the length of the contract, expressed as a percentage of the notional amount. For example, if the CDS spread of Risky Corp is 50 basis points, or 0.5% (1 basis point = 0.01%), then an investor buying $10 million worth of protection from AAA-Bank must pay the bank $50,000. All things being equal, at any given time, if the maturity of two credit default swaps is the same, then the CDS associated with a company with a higher CDS spread is considered more likely to default by the market, since a higher fee is being charged to protect against this happening. However, factors such as liquidity and estimated loss given default can affect the comparison. Credit spread rates and credit ratings of the underlying or reference obligations are considered among money managers to be the best indicators of the likelihood of sellers of CDSs having to perform under these contracts. CDSs are also used to structure synthetic Collateralized Debt Obligations. 4. Risk Curve For Debt. The risk of experiencing an adverse shift in market interest rates associated with investing in a fixed income instrument. The risk is associated with either a flattening or steepening of the yield curve, which is a result of changing yields among comparable bonds with different maturities. When market yields change, this will impact the price of a fixed-income instrument. When market interest rates, or yields, increase, the price of a bond will decrease and vice versa. The yield curve is a two-dimensional representation of the market’s tolerance of long-term debt investments, with maturity as the horizontal axis, and interest rate as the vertical. (see last image). As maturity lengthens, interest rates should be higher. In a ‘normal’ world, the longer a loan’s maturity, the higher its interest rate. That’s common sense, since at longer intervals, macroeconomic policy — inflation and central bank interest rates — are less and less predictable. 5. The Sigmoid Curve. Finally, as far as a mathematician is concerned, the cases above all relate to a mathematical function which is a special case of the logistic function. Hyperbolic tangent is another example. Sigmoid curves are also common in statistics as cumulative distribution functions, such as the integrals of the logistic distribution, the normal distribution, and Student's t probability density functions.

  The market is proving that interest is not a viable system. The value of money should not change over time. An hour of work is an hour of work, no less.

  JPMorgan Chase recently sent a letter to some of its large depositors telling them it didn’t want their stinking money anymore.
