Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Wednesday, if the Puritans had a crystal ball,

they might have insisted the Mayflower turn around

and head back to Merry Old England, which wasn't very merry at all.

In fact, it was downright chilly to anyone who didn't

sing with the king. No way the fanatically religious Puritans were singing with anyone.

In 1622, Massachusetts, things are kind of dark and foreboding. A little like today, lots of angst and confusion in the

air, not a lot of tranquility and understanding. Half of the Mayflower passengers died within

a year of disembarking. Life was very tough. Food scarce, no central heating, challenges everywhere. Now we have heat, but it costs

some money. So does food, amusement, insurance, our wallets are getting a workout. But it's worth it to me because we are living in a land of opportunity.

That's a cliche, but it's true.

And that is my theme this Thanksgiving week.

Yes, things can get a bit crazy, but we will get through it. However,

next year is not going to be easy either, as many things are going to happen. Just like with

the long ago Puritans, but we certainly have more fun than they did. And we don't have to wear those

dopey hats back in a moment. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising,

trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer

I trust, American Hartford Gold.
