Here's the most recent issue of Whiskey & Gunpowder:

05/16/2008 - Priceless Coins and a Lesson from My Father
By Byron King
Greg’s Note: Today we have a special treat for our Whiskey readers. Byron King shares us an intimate and touching memory of his father. In this account, Byron lets you in on a part of his life and a time in our history that has long since past. A time when the simplest things could bring us the greatest amount of joy. When family connections and bonds meant everything. And a time when even money had value.

And here are the last few issues:

05/15/2008 - Inflate Here
By Lord William Rees-Mogg
Greg’s Note: There seems to be two important consensuses coming from the world’s pre-eminent economic minds. One is that the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve are setting the economy down a dark path. The other is that the guys in charge of the Federal Reserve are the only ones who don’t realize this. Lord William Rees-Mogg explains why we’re headed for a similar situation to the one we experienced in the 1970s.

05/14/2008 - Clowning Around
By Fred Sheehan
Greg’s Note: In his book Greenspan’s Bubbles, Fred Sheehan examines the work done by Alan Greenspan during his tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve. Today, he shows us how the personality of Greenspan affected the way he ran the economy and how he marketed himself to the media.

05/13/2008 - A Valuable Backstop for Wealthy Investors
By Adrian Ash
Greg’s Note: Over the past several weeks we’ve seen a dip in the price of gold. After reaching and surpassing the $1000 mark in March, gold has eased a bit in light of some conservative Fed forecasting. But does that mean that the crisis is over and gold will be steadily falling? Hardly. The Fed might be hinting at a rate cut freeze, but this overall credit crisis is still going, and there are still shoes left to drop.

05/12/2008 - Supply Chain
By Kevin Kerr
Greg’s Note: There’s been a recent boom in commodities markets. We’ve been talking about it for the past several weeks. But what are the reasons for this boom? Resource Trader Alert’s Kevin Kerr gives us a few explanations and discusses the supply side of some valuable resources.
