Anthony, Although I agree with most of your post, there is - to use a cliche - two side to the coin.

Indoor hobbies include Coin Collecting, Rock Tumbling and some computer gaming.

One of the provisions of the Obama Health Care plan is that now, all transactions of coins, bullion, and paper money (the purchasing and selling - not regular cash) over $600 now must be reported to the IRS on a 1099.

I recent cycles yes, during the main street mania phase for gold bubbles, "Americans" lined up around the block at coin shops to buy (not to sell) precious metals.

I realize now I forgot to put in the income of $1900 for coin op laundry and I also have allotted for vacancy .

I already made my coin back, so what the heck, I cant complain.

Sometimes the agents get pissed at me but so what it is my coin not theirs.

I moved to CO in 2006 and that was one of the worst winters in years.

I think with all news sources, if you take everything they say with a grain of salt, check multiple news sources and then flip a coin, you have a solid 50/50 shot at getting it right.

I had a one oz coin on me a couple months ago while walking past a cash for gold store.
