5 Minutes With Anyone, page-9

Jake,

1. No.
2. No.
3. "In general" no. Judging by rates of personal bankruptcy, Australian "in general" are sensible about money.
4. Pointless question: The US government has no intention of paying off its debt.
5. Current US spending on Food Stamps and health care are sustainable if properly funded.
6. No. All the currency printed and distributed by the US Treasury is paid for. All payments made for bond purchases under QE are fully funded.
7. No. But I have owned shares in gold producers in the past.
8. Silver is a cheaper, but less efficient conductor of electricity than Gold.
9. Gold - $1,200-$1,500; Silver - I have no idea
10. Gold - $1,400-$1,700; Silver - I have no idea
11. Equities and hedge funds.
12. Hilary Clinton.
13. Guilty of occasional stupidity. Innocent of breaking Federal laws.
14. In my personal experience I have always found Central Bankers to be scrupulously honest. Politicians less so.
15. None.
