For whatever triggered my memory this report got me to remembering growing up and the word "trade" applied to those who attended 'trade' school, not college. The word was usually employed by the upper crusties in a condescending manner, inferring either the bloke lacked either brains, money, or both. I resented when a friend of mine who went to trade school was denigrated as a societal outsider. I didn't know why at the time, and stuck by them. Friends are friends.
But, you know having a "trade" goes to the meat of what we do. We trade or barter our skills for other things we need. Having no needs at any given time, we'd accept silver coins, sound money, in exchange for our service skills. Today, we call it "savings". For in our 'uneducated' minds we knew our 'stored trade services' would not be depreciated when we needed them.
Can you say the same is true today with any savings other than gold or silver?
Think about this when someone says they have a trade, will ya?

Friday, August 9th
The primary silver mining industry is not sustainable at present market prices. Financial reports are starting to be released and by the end of the month we should have a pretty good idea on how bad the losses will be.
