silver and gold being so locked tick for tick lockstep for this much.

this doesn’t sound good, i use google all the time. keylogger software is a serious threat.

Hackers have turned their attention to search engines in the latest attempt to invade the computers of unsuspecting Web users.

In the past few weeks, they have taken advantage of Web pages that incorrectly use JavaScript, a computer language used in features like interactive maps, to infect thousands of sites. The altered sites show up in a Google search, and when clicked on, redirect the user to a malicious program that aims to steal information.

One goal is to infect users’ computers, possibly by installing a device to capture keystrokes, and therefore passwords and other sensitive information.

Seven out of 10 Web sites are vulnerable to these flaws, according to WhiteHat Security in Santa Clara. It’s unclear, however, how widespread the problem is because many users don’t realize they’ve been infected.

Google is working on a filter that will find and automatically block such malicious Web addresses, a spokesman said Tuesday. In the meantime, it has been contacting affected organizations to advise them on how to fix their sites’ vulnerabilities.

In the latest attacks, which occurred last week, hackers planted malicious search terms in Web addresses along with popular search words so the sites would be ranked high in Google searches.     more

 Could not remember his name.  Nice to see contributors like that. 

He sees a little drifting down by late summer before a nice year end rise.

For those who put down $250 on the poll.  Forget about it.

Tell Mme Crown….I like her style.

Keep the Midas coming it’s great isn’t it? I’m thinking of a membership to Le Met. I took the trial run last year and liked it. Maybe I’ll take the plunge.

Lights out.

Golly, didn’t know I had such thin skin–learn something everyday.   

CENTRAL BANKS ARE ANSWERING THE CALL

All of the actions we have been expecting from the developed country central banks and governmental agencies for the past several months have either been announced, or it has been stated that they are being actively considered.

The markets have now inferred that there a major meltdown of global markets has been averted…possibly for a few years.

After this most recent scare, let us watch how the politicos react. Will they opt for more constraints and restrictions; or will they display an understanding of how markets really work?

ALL OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN HAVE INFLATIONARY EFFECTS

There is no disagreement among economic observers that the actions taken will act as a spur to inflationary expectations and behaviors. Let us prepare for an inflation conscious future by owning assets which benefit from inflation.

These include gold, precious metals, base metals, food related investments and shares in countries which can grow rapidly. We continue to find a number of fast growing well managed companies in China, Brazil and other countries.

Please don’t hesitate to call with any questions or suggestions.

Sincerely,

>I still do not believe that the orchestrated top and brief correction we have just >experienced is THE “real deal”. IMO this was just a takedown to throw everyone off >their game plan. 

Actually, I hold a somewhat similar view. Here are my thoughts:

I think we were due for a correction at the $1000+ level, and we would have had a plain vanilla correction under normal circumstances. What we got instead of a plain Vanilla correction, however, was Rocky Road, because circumstances were not normal. Circumstances were that gold was accelerating in a runaway stage, the dollar was on one of those waterpark slides where you drop about 4000 feet nearly vertical screaming for your mother, and the global financial system was about to rattle apart and drift off into orbit as space junk. The Fed and the cartel timed their move with the usual monthly options expiration profit-taking dip, and added an extra few knock out punches to the correction, running the stops on the longs, to a far lower level than normal.

Now the technical damage has been done, and we investors may become our own worst enemies, making the cartel’s job easier, by expecting and thereby helping to create a longer and deeper correction. Naturally, I don’t expect under the current circumstances that we will zoom back to $1,000, but there is no fundamental reason to prevent us from building a base here and grinding higher. Technical analysis is a means of seeing patterns of behavior in the market, and projecting the future direction by those patterns. But as we all know, patterns can change into something other than the one that appears to be forming, and can unexpectdly reverse. We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that those patterns are like an EKG of market fundamentals. TA shows us what is happening, it doesn’t create what is happening. The chart patterns may now appear bearish, but the pattern can’t create bearish fundamentals. As far as I am concerned, the fundamentals that were driving this bull to and through $1,000 have not changed at all. The global financial markets are still in chaos, despite the temporary calm and the illusion that the crisis has passed. The move by several countries to diversify out of dollars may take brief pauses but the move isn’t going to reverse course for any great length of time. Mine supplies of physical metals are still making new yearly lows with continued challenges like the South African power problems. I don’t even see any significant change of attitude by most of the commodity experts and financial channel talking heads. Most still believe that the commodities bull has years to run.  So in my opinion the fundamentals have not changed at all, and the only real change is investor sentiment because of the orchestrated hammering the metals took recently.

Those who would like to slow this bull and protect the dollar and the financial markets have created the illusion that something detrimental has happened to the bulls’ progress. The chart patterns reflect the temporary damage done, but the chart patterns cannot create different fundamentals.  

Stick a fork in me ..I’m done.

For me it was a heartstring response for someone in trouble, not a manufactured rant. Mea culpa . It’s who I am..

Happy to read you have made attempts to contact and apologize, hope that it was met with same response.

Peace to you also , AuGirl

 JBI where are you? 

briefly, he will have to file with the required number of signatures in each state.  I don’t know what the number is but I also don’t think Nader will get on the ballot in many states. 

I can’t see you but I hope there is a big bump on the side of your cheek where your tongue is pushing on it!  Speaking as someone who was there for the 4 years that JV was Gov of Minn.–ha.  All show and no go–Sorry Brenda(who is from Minn, not Mont.) 

Not a bad radio talk host….but thats it.
