Oldtent Archives 2007 - 2008

Greenie was a gold bug in his early years…..but turned bad……went over to the dark side…….never to return. And his fate is still unlearned……should be a song there somewhere. (G)

Yep, we had a ball, with silverboom coming out again this summer to visit his son, and hopefully we can get a few more recruits, should be a grand old time. Just like the Crackerbarrell with a dozen nuts instead of just two!!

Gosh, I thought I posted this earlier. Well, here goes!

Did Sir Alan create this situation just to prove that gold is the true currency. I hope so! The gov’t is out of control. The FED continues to print money to support the “out of control govt”and the gov’t continues to spend money they do not have supported by the Federal Reserve. Why aren’t they prosecuted.

You guys did have fun didn’t ya. Just like we figured on the front porch of the old Crakerbarrel in [where were we?]

Thanks for the Humanoid update. Sounds possitive and that is very good!!

Sounds good to me!! “Colorado Gang Rides Again”…..Has a nice ring to it.

Is in pretty decent shape for what he went through. He is pretty heavily drugged so I told him that AuGirl was scared about the ecomomy and crossing the border to get to Belize and that Ment invited her to stay with him[just for the time being] well looks like we will have to debrief him when he comes too cause he bit on it. You are such a good samaritan Ment.
He did have a good prognosis from the doctor though. So we will get a chance to heal him up in a few weeks. What an outfit!

Perhaps it’s just my unexercised brain working overtime but is it any coincidence that tomorrow is an option expiry day?.. And Monday a national holiday?..
The widely discussed expectation has been all week that the Fed will come to the rescue with an emergency rate cut,.. And yet nothing has of yet been forthcoming,.. Whilst this chat was only market speculation and rumour there is good founding to it given the deterioration of the economic data and markets, together with recent speeches from Paulson and Bernanke intimating they won’t sit ideally by,.. Infact there is very good argument to suggest that this is the reason for the recent pounding of gold and the euro, together with the publication of the ‘ludicrously tame inflation data’!?!.. All boxes now appear to have been ticked to facilitate a cut or other such emergency measure,..

So what are the Fed waiting for?.. As it’s hard to believe their just sitting calmly by watching this chaos unfold,..

Call me a sceptic but a lot of Wall St money is likely to have been saved on call options in the last few days,.. Just think of the Hui and Xau indexes for starters,.. On top of this, there’s a holiday wknd coming up and from what I read, a good performance the Friday before has historically brought good follow through to the upside on the return Tuesday,..

So whilst I wouldn’t be betting my gold position on it, it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Fed in full ER attire at some point tomorrow,..

I guess we’ll have to wait and see,..

Kind regards,..

Is it possible that Sir Alan orchestrated the current bubbles just to prove that gold is the true currency, and the United States should never have abandoned it. My god, what a prognasticator he may turn out to be. If that is the case, there may be hope yet for the US, provided we have not sold all of our gold. Remember there has not been an accounting of our gold since Eisenhower was president! Our gold may have been pissed away by the liberals in office to pay for votes. Would someone more astute than I comment on this possibility

I looked in my crystal ball and had a vision.   I saw him at the drug store bying a bucket full of antacids.  Then I saw him  walking very purposfully  towards  a large building.  Probably the US Treasury.  I think he’s going to do something that will change the course of history.  Like last time.
