"If you were to review the blogs and postings of die hard gold bug analysts you would find that they have all opined at one time or another that when the public is widely involved in gold that that would be the top. Well this has happened...and without a commensurate bubble run in the metal."

I don't think this is entirely accurate. The commercials I see are all pushing opportunities to sell gold, not purchase it. The public has been very much involved on the sell side, but not the buy side. I'm not sure that's what the bloggers had in mind when they made the statements you refer to. ]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:21:24 -0400

I, for one, am glad the republicans threw their little tantrum. If hurting their little feelings is what it takes for them to recover their courage, maybe we need more of it.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:30:54 -0400

I do think, however, that putting a ton of new power and cash in the hands of the people who, literally within hours of publicly saying "Everything is just fine!" were saying "The end is nigh!" would be an unforgivably stupid mistake. Clearly, anything Paulson says from here on must be taken with a grain of salt.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 11:16:27 -0400

Which of the so called rumors was false? Who says the shareholders are the victims, when it was they who made the decision to buy into the company? You're suggestion that the little guy is the beneficiary here is also laughable... society in general certainly doesn't benefit from a bunch of unqualified home buyers bidding up prices with phony money, and then end up losing pretty much everything. I think you need to turn off CNBC and tune into reality.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:26:39 -0400 Who says the government is wrong when it doesn't pick winners and losers in our free market?
