Investing: Gold, Silver, Stocks, Real Estate
Gas, Clothes, Food, Tires, Lumber, Etc. -Ever wonder why these prices get more & more expensive? The reason is inflation. We all know what the definition of inflation is, but what really causes this?
Before the Federal Reserve was created… every dollar the United States printed, and in circulation, was backed with ‘Real’ money, or Gold. –Gold, the US had in reserves. This all changed in 1971 when we were taken off the Gold Standard and the US Dollar was labeled as a currency and not money. Gold and Silver is used and recognize as real money for over 5000 years.
To make things simple, here is a comparison in 2001 vs. now in 2012:
Oil in 2001 average: $22.81 – now $118.00 = 417% increase
Gas in 2001 average: $1.70 – now $3.42 = 101% increase
Gold in 2001 average: $271.07 – now $1728.80 = 537% increase
Silver in 2001 average: $4.59 – now $33.84 = 637% increase
You should not save, because “saving” was a smart thing to do back when our money was backed with gold and silver. It’s 2012, and the correct term would be “Hedging” - Hedge against inflation. Our dollars are dropping an average of almost 10% a year. It has lost 98% of its purchasing power! So next time you’re at the grocery store, the bag of chips you bought last year for .99 cents… is now $1.09 or higher, that’s inflation!
The US is $15 trillion dollars in debt and the more money it prints and spends, the faster your purchasing power or value in dollars will drop. Think your savings account, CD, Stocks, Bonds’ 2 to 4% returns or annual profits sound good? Not so much when the inflation rate and cost of virtually everything is increasing 8-10% every year right?
So, remember to HEDGE yourself and save in something that will not decrease in value.
Gold and Silver seems to make the most sense. They are small, easy to store, tangible assets that hold real money value and used all over the world. They won’t rot, spoil, or go bad. You won’t need any storages or warehouses. Hence, all these “We Buy Gold” commercials!
Most importantly, they hold their value. When the prices of precious metals go up, it’s because the dollar value is dropping. In other words, it’s taking more dollars now-a-days to buy the same exact product that took less dollars years ago!
Until next time, protect yourself and your family! – Los Saigon!!
(PS) Special of the week: Vietnamese BBQ Pork Rolls with side salad and ponzu sauce!

2012: Los Saigon
We hoped all yall had a great holiday and a Happy New Year. Now that the holidays are over, it’s back to reality (work, school, etc.). We wanted to keep our fans updated and share our plans for the new year.
Our signature: The Chino Latino has been a hit and this dish definitely defines who we are: We’re from Los Angeles and our parents are from Saigon, Vietnam = Los Saigon
To keep it exciting, we have decided to add a special weekly menu. Each week, there will be different Vietnamese Dishes that we will introduce. You will be able to see what the “weekly special’ is on our website, Facebook or Twitter. Of course, we will still have your favorites: the Chino Latino, OG, and K-Town!
That’s part of the food trucking business right? To roll around to different parts of the county, and share our Vietnamese dishes with all of our friends. Until the Los Saigon Cafe Restaurant is open, which we will have by November of this year, we will have to introduce different dishes weekly.
Below are the Vietnamese dishes that we will be serving, so please stay connected with us via Facebook, Twitter and/or check our blog. We would like to personally thank each and every one of you who’ve supported us from day one. Happy New Year and let’s make 2012 a good one!
Oh yeah! “Authentic” Vietnamese Iced Coffee is available this week. This stuff is strong and sweet just like how it is, straight from Saigon! – Come down and try it out.

NBA too much for 1 man’s control
David Stern blocks the proposed deal that would send Chris Paul to the Lakers. WHAT!?! I will not lie- at first I was ecstatic about the trade! Cmon- it’s Chris Paul! Perfect for an aging Fisher and compliments really well with Coach Brown’s style. It also means less minutes for Kobe which means: Biting the jersey Black Mamba time (unstoppable warrior)! And we may even get lots of “under-bites” from Kobe which usually ends up in favor of the Lakers in 4th quarter.
Then I thought about Pau Gasol & Lamar Odom. I understand this is all a business but Loyalty is above all! I hope they know that we the Lakers fans, appreciate everything that they have done for this great city. Now that the trade is off, they definitely won’t stay with us now. Even if they did, I don’t believe their hearts will be in it because of how we were willing to ship them away. I don’t blame them.
Anyways, just had to share my thoughts on this- I’m a little sad yet a little happy for a new beginning. I won’t get into too much politics of the NBA because when it comes to sports, there’s no right or wrong answer- just my opinions =)
But Chris Paul to the Lakers??? oh man! Our Lakers would have went from #1 team in NBA to the #1 team in the world!
