Oldtent Archives 2007 - 2008

Dont reckon I will ever think of, hear the phrase, ‘nickel flipper’ the rest of my days without thinking of you. (grin)

Glad to see your return to the keyboard. And as far as I am concerned, just keep repeating your words of sage and wisdom. I for one, never tire of hearing the truth.

Wishing you a New Year (yeah, I am a little behind the times…lol) full of Tacos, Lattes….(still dont know what a latte is). With gold knocking hard at the 900 door, I hope you are taking measures to secure those manure wagons. (grin)

Best, and thanks for bringing a whole lot of sense to these pages. For keeping a steady hand on the rudder of ‘U.S. Goldfish’.

Best to you this evening, Farmboy

Haaa just scrolled back. I should have known YOU would be the one to get the invasion poem. Never could get a war history one by you.

Like you, I just voted for Mogumbo….and Sinclair.

Sinclair, cause he has been on track for at least the last 7 years, has first hand knowledge and all that stuff. Mogumbo…cause I dont think I have ever read a post of his that did bring forth a dozen or two laughs and smiles. The man, has a way with words, and thoughts, that most always strikes a cord in my twisted sense of humour. (grin)

Good to see you posting. Best, Farmboy

Just got 14 people out the door from dinner. Whew!
Your right it is the thoracic 11 ,just a typical Irish goof up. That is the right question is it malignant or not. I don’t have the answer but will get it right now………it is malignant. He just said that they will do surgery Mon. to scrape out the # 11 in it’s entirety and place a balloon superstructure in there. He will need a couple more weeks of radiation and therapy ,then he can get out to pursue some of the great ideas all of you are trying so desperately to organize into a cohesive format. He thanks you all and is very appreciative for your concern.

Next to Lou Dobbs on CNN, wait….actually, both of you are even better than him, in keeping this Tent up to date with the latest news and views of importance and meaning. Kudos to both of you for a job well done. And Thanks. Many Thanks for your due dilegence in this area. I surely appreciate your efforts and hard work.

Best, Farmboy, who finally has an hour or two this evening to sit, and get a few posts long overdue typed out. Oh, Fully, give that original ‘Goldbugger’ a hug tonight. Think often of her smile, and great sense of humour. Ya done good talking her into hangin out with you. (grin)

OK, I voted.  My problem was whom to eliminate from my favorites. The problem was the title “Gold Personalities”, which came out different for me from what my vote would have been if it was “Gold Commentators”. Personality made me choose Mogambo over Casey, but I get more practical knowledge from Casey by a million miles.

Hope you two old guys are surviving all that knee surgery and will soon be back to snuff.

Got some young hickory saplings around the farm, if you need a cane to assist your come back (grin). Serioulsy, wishing/praying for both of you and for your speedy recovery. Those years of football, and jumpin out of perfectly good planes…..well…..it was fun huh? (lol)

Anyways, take care, and best to both, Farmboy

You guys besides being good writes are too funny. My ozn decided to go against the grain today and all I could do not to push the sell button, expecting it to go back down a bit. It went up down rest of day. Like it was having seizures or something. But the rest, some the same, are just like yours , just hanging around. It is a good sign people have more faith in gold than everything else right now.

Thanks for ur help, when I started to post. I hope I don’t do or say anything for u to regret it. I heard someone else has a name like but spelled as is, goldilocks. Wonder if I should change my name but may be another tec. nightmare to me.

Greetings my Southern Brother. Thanks for the well wishes for the New Year the other day, and a ten fold return to you and yours this year.

How bout dat rain the couple weeks? Things starting to look a little better around these parts. Should be doing some good for those Ga Mtns where Moggy hangs her hat.

Think about you, and all the Alabama Tenters often. Come spring, maybe we can have a little get together in your neck of the woods? The ole feets are starting to itch…which tells me it is about time do put on some travelling shoes. (grin)

Best, Farmboy

………my Portfolio decoupled from the gold bull…

………Oh Well 2 out of 3 not bad…..cheers to you too

pee-poor-porta-folio.  Yea whats the deal eh?  I knew I was gonna retire in only 3 years back in 2003 after years of 100% gain.  2005 zippo 2006 boring 2007 give me a break.  SSRI is still below 40.  I still have big profit on NG since buying it in the old G-E days when Richio and his predasessor handles continually talked it up (for good reason).  But a 50% hit ouch and then ECU and I have some Endeavour Silver boring, and winedoc I got a little bit into Uranium in February and is is a little bit less now.  I got into Roca mines 11 months ago so it is still looking sweet– but how strong will the base metals stay based on foreign (growth oriented) demand during a major economic slowdown.  On the other hand how will the precious metals hold up when all other are circling clockwise in the vortex of sinking water caused by the flush of the giant fiat economic cycle control system (that’s counter-clockwise for all you tenters from OZ)?

Diversification has opportunity cost.  It is all good, I’m still holding mga cxx jnn ecu exk OH! and UXG!  significant holding not treating me well in the SHORT TERM.

But still I hold mostly SSRI, just wish I hadn’t sold all those shares in 2005 to support the good life.  Ahhh but the memories will only grow better with time
