“CURRENT ASSET ALLOCATION (December 16, 2007): My own personal funds are currently allocated as follows: LONG POSITIONS: stable value fund (retirement fund with stable principal paying variable interest, currently 5.00%), 5%; municipal bonds, including MYJ, 2.5%; TOC, 1.5% (bought at a 15% discount); gold and silver coins and related metals collectibles, 6%; other collectibles, 0.5%; cash and cash equivalents including a long position in VMSXX and in the PayPal money-market fund, 7%; SHORT POSITIONS: Nasdaq-equivalent (QQQQ, SMH, NDX, GOOG, in that order) and related shorts, 50.5%; short EWM, 1%; short ILF, 1%; short GLD, 17.5%; short GDX, 2.5%; short USO, 3.5%; short BIK, 1.5%.”

Hello fellow goldbugs,

Please pardon the rambling…I’ve had a few “beverages of choice” already this evening…

Your posts are dazzling to say the least, I can’t wait to read what you have to say when I get an oppurtunity to log in. The concepts and idealogies are top of the line to say the least. The thought, time and effort that many of you put into your work to post boggles my mind and I personally thank you all from the bottom of my heart…these often times have brought a tear to my eye. Oh how goldbugs know that freedom and paradise are important concepts to treasure. My hope is that you are enjoying what is here, to visualize your smiles and laughs sharing ideas and thoughts in the freedom that a goldbug deserves brings a huge smile to my humble face.

And without Fully, Wanka, SOEE, Floridagold, Grin, and IRISH this ship would have been lost at sea back in June…you should all be grateful to these folks if you enjoy the tent.

Let me answer to Factsmatter as to who I am..?..I with many others are your biggest fan and look very much forward to seeing your posts and thoughts on the tent.

A little more about me is that I am a huge goldbug…a little less then two years ago I gathered the courage to call FGC from the GE site to join in a social in Tott’s ville…I will never forget that event…not only did I get the chance to meet my first fellow Goldbug ever (FGC) but there were many others there to meet at that social event. Now the ever enthusiastic goldbug FGC reminds me of a close personal friend that I played Bridge with in Santa Clara ca. Always the optimist my bridge friend Frank was ever addicted to the game and we were great partners for years.

The idea of the tent started around 10 months in the dungeons of Tent development. My experience was in large UNIX systems and at the time web development was new to me. And as WANKA will attest the cosmetic features (we spent many hrs on the phone refining) needed work. But the back end…well that is another story. Keep the WP src code mods close to the vest guys.

Tomorrow morning my family of six set out for a Christmas skiing and then on to Mexico (Zanjuatinao?) near Ixtapa for a couple of weeks vacation…my thoughts will be with you and maybe someone (this could be anyone) could start by proposing a toast on the Tent before the new year…we did this in May and I personally loved it!

Now for two Posters (aurum and JBI) here from the very beginning I would like to say a special thanks…JBI for always having the most positive posts and outlook on life and aurum for being the first person to give the tent a thorough test and checkout. When aurum first started uplinking charts I could’t believe the detailed work and effort…also I must confess he sent me an email a few weeks ago and also expressed a short term negative HUI view on the tent…and to me he was right on. I salute both of you guys!

Last Feb when the tent was under development a person who I respected immensely becasue of her common sense was consulted on as to what the realtime post arena should be called…I believe this person to have much more common sense then almost all of the bankers and lawyers in the local area. When I asked my six year old daughter Fort Bliss or Poster’s Paradise?…she looked at me and gave the biggest smile that you could ever imagine and said…and as Paul Harvey says “And now you know the rest of the story”.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year,

If you are a lurker consider posting…we have a complicated puzzle before us…monetizing the debt is the tip of the iceberg…your views will help put the pieces together.

Your friend and admirer,

auDept

….That poll Box at the top….perfect…and I see the pages are longer…so lots of room….what a frigen Library and Resource this place is becomming…..

Small Idea

………what do you think.?….to consolidate on the sidebar we could package all Rambus stuff into one link….

….anyhow the Poll thing is great….one thing though….I think one can vote from different computers once each….I have 3…….thats O K though…cause I want 3 votes anyway

You may want to save Al for the next poll…

Who is best qualified to serve as head of Homeland Security?…

Headed home for the holidays if I can get these smilies to pull -

Travel safe and enjoy your family and friends!  

in the current poll shouldn’t we add ‘alfred e newman’? wj

and I thought ‘ole Frank Barbera was a conservative type thinker!….$10,000 gold and $1,000 silver? Wonder if Puplava agrees? I guess he could be right because in 7 years there’s no telling how little will be left of the dollar’s value.  All the best and Merry Christmas.—–aggie.

READY TO UNLOAD gss,, LOL 7000 shares

Oh- Ment17 say its not so, your not gonna bail on potential moon shot are you. Management is buying shares at this time;– Look Goldrunner is giving us a hole shot—  Look at that handle on that cup  <G>

I think you need to put your money where your mouth is…..be like Rosen… if ya got the cahones Kaplan….Short the hell out of everything gold! We’ll see what ya say at HUI 600 and pog 1000. I wonder how much you’ll have to say then amigo. Have ever heard of fundamentals? Have ya ever heard of the credit crisis?? Have ya ever heard that gold mines are absolutely not being able to keep up with world demand? Give us something reasonable to backup you predictions. Otherwise, I think your newsletters will be the first thing to hit file 13.
