\nWhy Precious Metals Bulls Are Like Ebola Fighters\u2026
\nDavid H. Smith <\/strong>
\nLately the Dow has been rising and falling hundreds of points in a day, bad news is coming from the Middle East, Europe is sliding into recession, and now we\u2019ve got an Ebola scare!
\n\"\"<\/a>What are precious metals\u2019 holders, who have been watching the up, down and sideways moves in gold and silver \u2013 sometimes during a single day\u2019s trading session \u2013 expected to do? How do we keep our balance and move forward with confidence in our precious metals\u2019 \u201cstacking\u201d program, adding to our holdings on a regular or dollar-cost averaging<\/a> basis?
\nThe answer lies in becoming centered emotionally<\/a>, reminding ourselves of the valid reasons why we originally decided to hold gold and silver. Reasons \u2013 which become more compelling by the week. And then taking action on the plans we made when things may have been a bit less hectic than they are now.
\nEven though the likelihood that large numbers of Americans will contract or even face exposure to the dreaded Ebola disease is remote, the news \u2013 repetitive, often exaggerated and misinformed \u2013 creates an emotional riptide that can be difficult to handle. But sometimes during a crisis, we run across a person who is able to remain surprisingly calm, focused and able to \u201cdoing the right thing\u201d \u2013 while others around him (or her) are either in panic, disorganized, or simply find themselves in a \u201cfreeze state.\u201d
\n\"\"<\/a>This kind of person does not operate fearlessly. Rather, he takes a hold of the fear response warning us of possible danger that we naturally possess and controls it. Then he can turn this volatile emotional mix into productive energy for a smooth, sustained flow to calm those around him, providing clarity in a highly-charged fearful atmosphere. And he gets things done!
\nSuch a person is Dr. Mohammed Sango, Director of the Redemption Hospital in Liberia. He was profiled recently in a video interview, which you might choose to view on Youtube. Simply type in \u201cThe Fight against Ebola.\u201d
\nWhen asked how he was coping emotionally, Dr. Sango answered:<\/p>\n

“I have to cope. I have to cope with the stress. I have to cope with the emotion. If not, I will be a victim of circumstances. If you think so much about the disease and become frightened, what you\u2019re supposed to do to protect yourself, you cannot do it. You will not think\u2026 When the fear consumes you, then the disease equally consumes you. So you have to be alert at all times. No sleeping on the disease. No sleeping on your emotions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly, his \u201chospital\u201d was at first only a free clinic\/holding center. But when the patient load became overwhelming \u2013 with no medical care being provided to the growing numbers arriving daily, he and his staff turned the site into a treatment center, getting by with a limited but still beneficial amount of service and supplies.
\nDr. Sango\u2019s ability to spot a problem early on \u2013 in this case Ebola, before it became an epidemic \u2013 and the actions he took to help manage the local situation is what separates his response from that of so many others.
\nDr. Sango’s “Gold Standard” of Behavior<\/strong>
\nDr. Sango\u2019s mindset, emotional control, clarity of thought \u2013 and just as importantly, his ability and willingness to take action \u2013 is the same \u201cmenu\u201d of behaviors that you and I can follow, in order to help us stay the course with our precious metals acquisition program.
\nWhen the disconnects in our economic and political system that are becoming more obvious to others fully assert themselves during the weeks and months ahead, you\u2019ll be glad you kept on accumulating gold, silver, platinum<\/a>, and palladium<\/a>. The risk of waiting, versus taking action becomes greater as time goes by.
\nFor thousands of years, millions of people around the globe have done the same thing. And when things really got nasty, those who planned ahead in this way, had the financial means \u201cin hand\u201d as insurance to protect an important part of their personal wealth and even prosper, as many of those around them who failed to do so did not.
\nRichard Russell: “Subscribers should stay in silver and gold\u2026”<\/strong>
\nRichard Russell, founder of Dow Theory Letters, the longest\u2013running financial newsletter still being published, had this to say on October 15th,<\/p>\n

“Is it a stumble, a correction or a primary bear market? There is absolutely no way of knowing at this point, but that shouldn’t bother me or my subscribers. We’re safely in the only two tangible currencies — silver and gold. As I write an hour before the close, the Dow is down over 300 points on increased volume. This is obviously a distribution day with institutions leaving the market.
\n\u201cInvestors’ first reaction today was to move into the dollar, but on second thought, investors realized that zero is the fate of all fiat currencies. On further thought, investors decided to move into the only tangible currencies which need no nation to back them. Of course I’m talking about silver and gold. A characteristic of bear markets is that they start each day with buying and end each day with selling.
\n“Subscribers should stay in physical silver and gold…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019d say this is excellent advice from the doyen of newsletter writers to his subscribers. And a top-drawer suggestion for your consideration as well.
