In case you haven't noticed the prices of #gold and #silver rise almost every day. Get use to it. This pattern will likely continue for many years to come. The only change will be much higher prices and even larger daily gains.

This 6.38-minute video is a masterclass for Value Investors with a Margin of Safety.

If anything goes up by more than 100% in a year, stay away from it.

If any asset class delivers more than 40% CAGR over the last 5 years, you should be careful (fearful).

If anything goes down by 50% in a year, start adding long positions.

If anything delivers flat to negative returns for a decade, it's an opportunity with the least possible risk.

Czesława Kwoka, a 14‑year‑old Polish girl, was murdered at the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp on March 12, 1943. She was killed by an injection of phenol directly into her heart.

Just before her death, she was photographed by fellow prisoner Wilhelm Brasse, who later testified that the SS guard struck her in the face before the photo was taken, the bruise on her lip is visible in the image.

In that haunting portrait, we see the terrified face of a child who did not speak German and had lost her mother only days earlier. Czesława was one of approximately 230,000 children and young people murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The original black‑and‑white photograph, preserved at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim, was later colorized by Brazilian artist Marina Amaral, who was deeply moved by Czesława’s image and sought to share it with the world in color.

A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.

That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.

Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.

If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.

Could you have kept your cool?

Hats off to her.

Jack Bogle made 20 million people millionaires - built a $10 trillion fund - but was most hated man on Wall Street - who refused to be a billionaire

"I've never owned a single share of Vanguard - and I never will "

he gave simple investing advice and explained why Warren Buffett puts 90% of his wife's money into Bogle's fund

"Jack did more for investors than anyone I've ever known "

Wall Street takes billions in fees every year - Bogle proved they don't deserve a penny of it

he was fired at 35 - Wall Street called his idea "un-American " and "Bogle's Folly ", now every major fund copies his model

$1 billion flows into Vanguard every single day - bigger than BlackRock, Fidelity and every other fund - all because of one man

Carl Icahn borrowed $400,000 from his uncle to start trading - now he's so feared that billion-dollar companies paid him millions just to leave them alone

he made $2 billion on Netflix, $2 billion on Apple, $700 million on Texaco in a single day - his uncle called him crazy

one of his first TV interviews ever - he revealed exactly how he does it

he dropped out of medical school - his mother said "you needn't come home anymore - you made the great mistake of your life "

one company offered him $10 million to walk away - "you want time to think about it? " - "no I'll take the 10 million "

"I only buy stocks that are down - if the stock goes up you don't see me around - because there's no bargain and I only buy a bargain"
