This being so, the process is not and never was a gamble. The general public continues to rely on conditional snippits of info and the big dogs continue to playout their strategies.

Well researched estimations we may trust concerned observers to offer if so inclined. But ultimately, when XYZ desires to corner a given market utilizing disposable fronts-we are mostly left as bit players in that charade. Just like Bear Sterns. You know, I actually thought there was something unholy involved in that event. It seemed that unheard of, oh
the lamentations. In at 2 and out at 30, by now I could have stuffed tt in all my bill collectors mouths.

But the truth is, it is a gamble. Even when it appears
to be relaying the facts. Of curse the whole world can end at any time, but in hindsight (We're always forced to look at "In The Mean Time") as having been the real issue. Therefore my present strategy has been modified to simplistic terms. "Keep an eye on the food chain (whats eating who and who'se eating what), then place your bets accordingly". That is, assuming you entertain the notion of survival!

gold, despite the fact that world governments take the lead in that selfsame pursuit of the "blaise blaise"
medium. That factor may have something to do with
the likelihood that no sane person would hope for any
catastrophy but unfortunately, we all know that practically anything beyond our power to influence can
prove a reasonable expectaction.

The purpose of this forum is to advise oneanother, to-
wit many do their best. Although I am no expert I do
recognize this, he who owns the goods may attempt to manipulate the price as he wishes. And further, re-
gardless to how outlandish that price may seem if the
populace is willing to support that price-it will hold until! Now, whatever you want to call us-those of us
who manage to get the better grip on that factor most
likely fare well depending on our situations.

OK, the price of the yellow stuff is descending. No News! Keep going as usual. Good news! If you want to unload a few bars, thats up to you. BUT, why do so on the down tick. As has been pointed out, like most everything else in life-business/politics...
ments proceed in cycles.

My question:

"You in this to make money or some other less functional medium?"

And frankly, I don't want to see gold trading at 5,000
per ounce-although I suspect it could. Reason being,
A VERY BAD SIGN FOR THE PLANET! While I probably
should not say it, so long as it were left in the hands
of a rational populace-I advise against allowing gold
to advance beyond 3,000.]]> Sun, 04 May 2008 16:05:06 -0400 some are correct to suggest it not necessary to hoard

Personally I have concluded it better to invest in the bank itself when you can find one trading in your price range. Though their holdings and recommendations can be impressive. But as we are seeing, more Custers show up to save the day for banks themselves. Tried offshore, worked out pretty well. Think I'll be heading back that way when the money's back up. Probably should have jumped on Bear Sterns when I had the chance but what can I say? Guess I just didn't believe that manna still falls from Heaven!]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:17:25 -0400

The issue now becomes, how does one possibly profit operating in areas where you don't know what to expect because you no longer are certain whom you may trust. And the ones you may trust, don't always
have the deciding vote. Example:
If I were sitting on 200 billionUSD which I questioned the future value of, but still wanted to help you out-like you or not. Among the real estate I'd be
looking to accumulate, www.bloomberg.com/apps... think i'd be shopping among the Brits on the way over. (And not so much for real estate either) So would allow the possibility that at least a few of us have some snipit of a notion whats going down?

It occurs to me that whether malevolently planned or
not, that mortgage/credit mess plays so well into the
hands of an adversary that it's an almost absurd idea
to fathom that it must have occured to none of us we
could be slitting our own throats.

Not too long ago I commented on another article
regarding the manipulation of the price of oil and gold, now I admit my assessment could have been
in error. I acknowledge this fas paux because I realize that the degree of manipulation required
to parlay the combined gold reserves of the global community into a sufficient amount to offset their monetary deficits, could not possibly go unnoticed.

I can only hope I can make the same apology about
the US$ once all the dust has settled!

It's reverse subversion. $5.00 an hour welders who are not important enough to their employers to provide them with hardhats or steeltoe boots. Asian collection agents who don't know you from Adam but
specialize in why you missed your mortgage payment.

Now as far as fiscal policy goes, we'd all have to be prepared to wrestle that bugger down. What is the national debt now anyway? Aside from the question of employment, I understand theres a grand "plan to rescue the credit market". Print more money but don't
mind more gold. And heaven forbide some moron suggest a return to the gold standard. Lets see, do you think 5,000 tonnes would equal $45 trillion? Thats
another reason their in no rush to bury USD, the same
reason we won't return to the gold standard and the same reason their just barely able to control the price
of it.

By the time prices skyrocket at Wally Mart, it might be well past too late to matter.
