No new ideas? Wow that's a rather unique perspective on Dr. Paul. His entire history of campaigning has been on ideals quite different from the established voices of both major parties. If anyone could be categorized has having unique ideals in these elections, it would most likely be Ron Paul!
Romney will receive the nomination because TPTB want a moderate candidate, or put another way, someone who will maintain the status quo. Any libertarian candidate, such as Ron Paul (regardless of his affiliation with the Republican party), never had a chance to win. When the money consistently goes to candidates who hold up spending on welfare and warfare policies thereby awarding those who make the largest political contributions, political change is difficult.
However, I disagree that libertarianism (or the Tea Party movement which espouses this ideology) is loosing political captial. Rather, the powers in charge have waged a ruthless campaign against the people to maintain power and have the money in order to make it happen.
There have also been reports among the Republican party that primary votes have been changed before being reported. More than one local Republican leader has complained to local media in multiple states that this is happening. It may be that while the people are trying to make their voices heard on small government, the establishment is having none of it.

NAK is on the offensive regarding the EPA report.
President & CEO Ron Thiessen:
"So to suggest that the EPA over a course of a single year can meaningfully study a region of some 20,000 square miles and assess the effects of a project for which a final design is not yet complete, and for which key environmental mitigation strategies are yet being developed, is pure hubris. We have every expectation that the deep flaws in the draft Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment report will be exposed during the scientific peer review and public comment processes to come over the next several months."
If the EPA uses this to put roadblocks on the project, then this puts NAK in the position of re-justifying their timelines and investors may look near term at other stocks, explaining the sell off.
If Thiessen's comments are ultimately proven true, the selloff offers investors a discounted entry window.

"your selection of 2008 and the performance of gold has been equally as selective as the articles that we have written about the performance of gold"
I didn't select 2008 in gold. You presented articles to me written in 2008 by you, and I responded to one of them.
The article I presented back to you looked at a 200 year timeline in gold to dow. The articles you presented picked several data points to support your thesis without looking at an equal number of data points that did not support your thesis. That is the only point that I brought up regarding your articles.

New Low Observer,
The first article I read was the first gold one you listed regarding gold and the markets.
You mention newsletter writers being wrong on timing of markets and would lose money and that "gold and gold stocks cannot climb higher at the same time that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is in a declining trend."
Well, the first point I would like to make is that fast forwarding from 2008, those who invested in gold have done quite well. In fact, 2008 was quite a buying opportunity for investors. While the short term argument was correct, in the long run it was not.
As the the statement that "gold and gold stocks cannot climb higher at the same time that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is in a declining trend." , I beg to differ.
If you follow Dow / gold ratio, you would find that at several points in history they existed 1:1. A quick search of the SA archives gives us the following article:
The first chart of the 200 year history of the Dow/Gold ratio refutes your quote above.
While I feel like your article had merit in picking out points where Dow and Gold were not inversely related, I also feel as though you may have cherry picked data and not examined the entire continuum of the dow to gold price.
I'll read the rest of the articles but won't debate them here. This isn't the correct space for that. That's just something I noticed in the first article you posted and wanted to note that here for those that may not have an understanding as the relationship between the Dow and Gold.

"Robert''' , .. jewelry , here in ''USA'' .. Is mostly 14k variety ''... mid east- other country's , they buy 18-24 k GOLD ''..'' "
Yes it is. My wife is Asian and their family strongly prefers 24k only, though American preference is for a more yellow version of the metal in their jewelry.
In either case, buying jewelry for investment is less efficient as is buying bars and rounds due to markup.

"speculation has existed for thousands of years for every commodity ...its human nature....i dont think you can discount it safely. "
No but you can regulate it quite effectively. Do you have an idea, Charles, why the precious metals don't have position limits on COMEX and most other commodities do?
