……for Oz never gave anything to the tin man that he didn’t already have………..like tacos, and dumpsters, and common sense.  Just wait til we oil him up.

Farmgal got it from Global Lite.com. Like Beethoven, I await the fifth movement.
Tonight I pulled the oldest trick in the book. I caught one of the altos asleep at the switch and asked her to pull my index finger cause it was jammed. Needless to say we got our first five minute break in years. HAAAAAA Everyone did a 100% fibo retracement from the choir loft. ..Maya you have got me in trouble with this here mms stuff.

left-leaning of the three western provinces, still remains an attractive place for Houston-based and Calgary-based industrial enterprises to get their foot in the door for futher natgas development.  As the link below indicates, purchases of land exploration rights seems quite buoyant for the gas-producing area of northeastern British Columbia.  This provincial economic buoyancy, and the resulting inflow of workers to the province, helps keep up the value of housing in the province, not only in the exploration and resource development areas but in the cities as well.  So far, things are looking good for the natgas industry in 2008 in this province.

ah yes the zone.. in hocky,, i remember sometimes in basketball.. when time and space were irrelevent it was the ball the basket.. and at one time a hook from the midcourt sailed in.. serpentine at the buzzer..

and in meditation.. we merge with the very chair ..

I always confuse myself - it is a practiced and finely honed art. Well anyway, I appreciate your posts and ideas and no doubt you are right - I will take a look at the reading material you suggested tomorrow.

the bean oil is still in play and may be walking sideways waiting on the beans and meal to top out. friday is last trading day for december contracts so the squeeze may wait for the jan beans. too bad the second attempt on the bonds had WAY too much risk. trade would have been great.

been studying sonication of the platinum group tonight. need a few samples.

june or feb makes no difference–i have both and didn’t trade either of um..me bad..
now for mms i’m still researching and close to ordering. where did you order yours from and what package of goodies if any? wj

I hope it didn’t have any derogatory meanings for “Toto”.

I’d say the “flying monkeys” that did the dirty work

(strong arms)  for the WWofTE are the IRS.

You are talking about more balancing than I had in mind - although more balancing is probably a good idea too. But I merely meant don’t buy one or two pm stocks or even the three or four - no do the “good basket of stocks.” And that was in regards to the possibility that only one pm stock and a junior at that was bought (but perhaps that was not the case).

But what dollar holdings (although I think the US dollar is headed higher) - land is not a dollar holding, grain and livestock are not.

aurum; I had a quick look at your chart.  I understand your point about not debating the count.  I put mine up for several reasons.  First, it sharpens my mind when I have the count ‘out there’, so I have less chance to fool myself.  And I enjoy the work.  Don’t ask me why.  I just enjoy the math of it.  When the ideas are true in the words [I edit a coupladozen times] I think that the picture they paint becomes more accurate; so then I can know more clearly what I think; and then I can look at it and critique it myself.   As time passes I can see how close to the facts they were, and are.

ment17 covers it well many times, many ways, and his 19.42 was spot on for me.  For simplicity’s sake I will call that kind of thing, being in a zen zone. It is like when I was younger, studying, and hours could pass and I was only aware of the subject.   say…. french verbs that I was memorizing.

Of course, being human, I experience distractions, but sometimes I have the empty mind clear picture zen zone ….. just there.  When I doubt, I’m out.

I don’t discuss my trading style, but pmfever… covered some of it.  I wait for a setup, and may enter and exit a few times when the followup action isn’t right; it’s how I hone my skills.

I learned some from hockey.

When I played hockey there were guys who had good money for good equipment, and nice cars, and were great athletes, could skate and handle the puck.  But some of these guys would always miss the open net shots.  Always.

Then there was Gordie Howe.  I remember Gordie Howe being interviewed by Ward Cornell, and telling how he just looked the goalie in the eye and it was as if he could see all the openings to the net.

When I played it was like that.  I could get into the zone, and never thought about where to put the puck, or how the other guy was trying to hurt me; I just put it to the net, not the goalie. Some call it concentration.  I think ment17 knows.

Thanks for the explaination. Not recalling the Wizard of Oz story, I went to the Urban Dictionary for what your meaning of “Toto” might be.

You really had me wondering ….

I don’t want anyone to think that I’m dissing Ron Paul by

saying “Ron Paul is Toto”. Can’t believe no one bit on that

one.

I think everyone has seen “The Wizard of Oz”. I always

watch it ’cause the Munchkins (Joe 6pak workers) kill

me.  So anyone worth their coins knows that the book

was written about gold and silver.  The silver shoes were

changed to Ruby slippers for the “color” of the film.

I think that the cowardly lion represented a weak cowardly

congress, the wicked witch of the East was the bankers from

the east that took control and the brainless scarecrow was

the paid for acadamia university profs that supported the

banks/fed/gov. Not quite sure who the tin man represented.

Anyway, rember Toto, Dorathys dog? The one that bit the

nasty next door neighbor (who is the WWof the E later)?

She wanted Toto put down!?

So, I’m trying to figure out who Toto represents. In the

movie, Toto (the little insignificant small dog) is the one

who has the courage to go over and PULL BACK THE

CURTAIN and expose the Wizard for what he really is.

A farce, a sham and a fake. Exposed by Toto he HAS

to admit that all he has been was an illusion.

Remember a couple weeks ago when we were treated

to RP’s vehement dialog to Ben? RP has pulled back

the curtain for all to see who will look.

Bill,
The only correct headline today: “Cartel Trashes Gold on the Biggest Wholesale Inflation Gain In 34 Years, A Wide-Open Fed Money Spigot, and a 98.2 Billion November Budget Deficit”.”

The cartel knew the numbers this week were going to be horrific. They knew in advance the bullish news coming for gold. This was a coordinated intervention. The manipulations have escalated every since Paulson showed up at the Treasury. They truly don’t care, they know the mainstream media will concoct a convoluted story to fit the crime. In this case, the mind-numbingly stupid story of gold investors choosing to worry about the next Fed cut (Christ, can the Fed open the lending spigots any wider right now?) and disregarding 38% annual wholesale inflation.

Gold is an end game. Once the suppression ends, it goes kablooey. Postponing the inevitable only makes the inevitable arrive in a jarring, violent dislocation. Gold will not meander from $800 to $3,000. Days like these one day will occur only after a $100 up day. The Comex is slowly but surely being discredited as a price discovery mechanism. The world is learning to know it for what it is; a private club benefiting weasels and vipers. THAT alone is gold bullish.

I would imagine many bankers will be hoping for brown corduroy pants for Christmas. It might disguise their terror, but the odor emanating from the banking industry will remain. So many derivatives, so few assets. At some point foreigners might figure out loaning Citi money at 11% nets a 27% annual loss compared to wholesale inflation. Gee, risk capital in Citi, or buy gold? How do you say no brainer in Russian, Chinese, Indian and Saudi?
