      The Shallowest Generation
      About Ron Paul

      Military service and medical career

      Paul considered becoming a Lutheran minister like two of his brothers.[14] Instead he decided to pursue a medical degree at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, attaining it in 1961. He interned and began residency training, both in internal medicine, at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit (1961–1962);[28]

      The medical training was soon interrupted when he received a draft notice and was commissioned a Captain in the U.S. Air Force during the Cuban Missile Crisis.[29] He was based out of Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, and remained in the military during the early years of the Vietnam War.[30]While on duty as a flight surgeon from 1963 to 1965, he attending to the ear, nose, and throat problems of pilots in South Korea, Iran, Ethiopia, and Turkey, but was never sent to Vietnam. [2][31] While there he obtained his private pilot's license.[19] The experience of performing physicals on helicopter pilot candidates, at a time when he saw many copters being shot down, deeply affected Paul; he later considered his indirect association with Vietnam as a catalyst for his rejection of interventionist foreign policy.[32]

      While in San Antonio, he also moonlighted three nights a week in a local church hospital's emergency room for $3 per hour, and became involved with Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign.[17] He then served in the Air National Guard while completing his residency (1965–1968), having switched to ob/gyn at the University of Pittsburgh.[33] His residency research into causes of pregnancy toxemia was subsequently published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.

      He moved to Surfside Beach, Texas, on July 31, 1968, and eventually delivered more than 4,000 babies.[34] Assuming the practice of a retiring doctor in Lake Jackson, Texas, Paul became the only ob/gyn doctor in Brazoria County,[19] reportedly delivering 40–50 babies a month and frequently busy with surgery.[25] His practice refused Medicare and Medicaid payments; he worked pro bono, arranged discounted or custom-payment plans for needy patients,[24] or otherwise "just took care of them"

      Portfolio Recovery Associates: Apropo of Bailouts
      I have sold as I realized one thing.

      When economy get as bad as now, people just stop paying.

      So what if you get a few notification letter from the collection agency, there can't send you to jail. When people are having problem paying even their mortgage payments, who cares about collection letter.

      Why Buffett Called Credit Swaps "WMDs" [Housing Tracker]
      I am surprised that they are so little article related to CDS.

      In this 62 Trillions unregulated market, where one bank/ hedge failure will let to many other bank scrambling to look up who their counter parties are, potentially trillions of CDS become worthless, why now one (including our goverment) are discussing this problem.

      WSJ reported that there are 181 hedge funds, FRE, Bears Stearn and Lehman all went burst ...

      Where is the RTC for CDS ...

      Stop acting like gold is a currency ! Try to go to the grocery store with a gold coin and buy a loaf of bread ! Gold is supply and demand , it's worth what someone will pay for it period . It's not a currency - the inflation hedge theory is just that . If the inflation hedge theory was true gold would be at thousands of dollars . You try to tell me what inflation has been over the last 200 years . I've traded gold a few times , I've traded silver a few times - but it's just that a trade .

      The Brightest Stars in the Commodities Boom, Part Two
      Mark Anthony Bought my attention to the link between Gold Fusion and Palladium

      I indeed found this very interesting updates on Cold Fusion

      www.rexresearch.com/ar...

      Review it and do D&D for yourself. If the Cold Fusion thing really worked, oil should be back to $50 and Palladium will easily be at $1200

      Betting on $1000 Gold in September
      Very good post, I see all these off topic comments.

      The point here is, there is a huge bet of gold going over $1000 in Sep.

      The question is, how can we profits from it.

      Tim, are you buying those same call options as well.

      When there is a buyer, there is a seller. My concerns is, wouldn't the seller be concerned, (that there will lost around $150 millions when gold is over 1000 for spot delivery).

      Don't you think the seller will do all that he can, i.e. to prevent gold from going over $1000.

      The most likely scenario that a super spike in gold is some thing extra ordinary like Israel strike Iran, but since Israel F-15 needs to first fly over Iraq before it can reach Iran, most people think that cannot happen (unless the US permits) it.

      Do you have any reason, theory to believe that a super gold spike can occurs (w/o those extra ordinary events)

      Given that oil has corrected some much, gold tried to rally over 1000 and failed (it actually failed 3 times during last 3 weeks), many speculation are some big central banks players are behind it (prevent gold are going higher)

      Care to share anything ?
