To All: OK OK, thanks for the vote of confidence

I still remember the late inebriated nights back at GEF where I would post my expat/Perpetual Traveler/offshore freedom rants and how that eventually led to me meeting the famous John Mackenzie in his survey visit of Chile. BTW, whatever happened to the dude?

I will continue to rant and comment (with care) on this humble of all gold/freedom boards ….

Salud to all (with a snifter of Chile manzanilla liquor)

Big Player ?

Based on Adrian commentary from Midas 22:22  and Theodore Butler ’s  “the cop on the beat”  (nov.13) www.silverseek.com   let us hope that there is ’something out there’ that is big enough to give us fight we are willing to pay for : “The CARTEL vs The BIG ASIAN GUY”     like Ron Paul vs Them.   anyway….. i am still waiting on the london stalker giving us an update………

If there were any two winners I would pick in a battle of wits…  those two most esteemed minds would be them.  The gambler hasn’t got a chance.  And like ducks, our guys are experienced enough to float and let stuff roll off their backs!

That is fine you feel that way. Don’t worry if it is the real Seattle Sun he will back off soon enough. If it;s the imposter those two will have him for lunch dinner breakfast haaaaa

I am glad silverboom responded to you. I just wish to say that the question you posed is one of the single most difficult questions the board has to deal with. I don’t know if there is any other form but the precious metals with which to place your wealth.
Leuko mentioned to me today that when she was in the bank her teller friend mentioned that they had been open only 1 hour and already she had sent out 8 international wire transfers. Abnormal to say the least. Small rural town bank to boot. hmmmmmm

You know I was thinking of you when I posted the earthquake info this morning… and relieved when you posted also.  Don’t hide out too much.  You are part of  liberty’s  community here in the tent.

Sorry for the Seattle thing but, being axed from the forum I was not able to post it there. Don’t like my friends picked on. Makes me mad.

Seattle

I know you read the Tent soSeattle, I would suggest you stop dueling with goldrunner and goldTbird.

Your way out of your league.

Amals - “helping” family and friends….

This has been discussed many times on this and other forums. It is one of the phenoms of bull markets, that once you “get it”, the ones you care about the most go deaf, dumb and blind. Despite hard evidence, they are simply brainwashed into believing that tomorrow will be just like today, and the day after will be like tomorrow and so on.

Here’s the deal: you cannot help people who do not want to be helped, no matter how much you care. So when they ask for advice, they are simply lazy, don’t want to do the work of studying and learning, they want you to tell them what they WANT to hear, not what they need to hear. They want you to enable them to stay broke. Don’t go there. Keep your mouth shut. Stay alert, because every now and then you’ll stumble across someone who knows things ain’t right, and they want some answers and they want to know what to do. Start them with milk, then soft solids, then solid food like bread, then cut up meat (maybe a stew), then hamburger, and finally steak. If they want to help themselves, they’ll take over and start feeding themselves at the soft solids stage - believe me, you will cause yourself a lot of stress and create lots of ill will blunting your sword on such stones.
