"I Own"
There are tons of lines in the movie "Wall Street" that are so profound that we completely miss the weight of them. One such line is when Gekko states "I create nothing..... I own."



Although I hate to use Gekko as a positive example, the bottom line is that "ownership" IS the only way to be in control. And there is only ONE asset that you can own that gives you ultimate control.... GOLD.

Think you are in control of your real estate? Hah! Quit paying your taxes and you will find out who REALLY owns it.

Think cash money puts you in control? Take a look at a dollar bill an notice that it says "Federal Reserve Note." A "note" is a debt obligation... it is not ownership. If/when the Fed defaults you will be left holding nothing.

And one more wake up call while I am at it. Gekko was right. We DON'T live in a democracy. We live in a plutocracy controlled by the wealthy elite. THEY own and THEY control. They control the banks, the politicians, the press and the economy. And your only way to protect yourself against them is to OWN! Period. End of story.
