Oldtent Archives 2007 - 2008

yeap, if you posted the pic and nothing else, plus removed the price - i think i would have still guessed the same.  look at this stuff long enough and you remember most all of them.

I have to admit I had to open my chart back up in a separate window to get that picture —I had never heard that TA lingo before  <G>

that chart is for an open hole in the ground ready for a dead skunk.. and sells silver medallions in a tent..on the side also sells some beer .. reciepts go way down in the winter .. up in the hot summer ..

That was quick –but I realized i gave it away after I published it.

or how about sell .21 and buy back after breakout.  been saying that for awhile

Only a die hard bug is going to know who this chart belongs to — so I would like a TA perspective on what you guy’s think of it. No fundamentals allowed if you figure out who it belong to.

..Leaving Tottsville International for Victoria on Sunday Afternoon the 16th….40 hung over bugs.will be at your house for Dinner…..dont move !

the industrials, because I believe your observation that the HUI advance in 2003 coincided with the flagpole of the industrials.  I still think that most PM stocks will not do well until the main stock market does well, and for this reason I appreciate your TA views, and grin’s views too, about the prospects of the industrial index.

On a different topic, I also noted your recent posting (at 21:42) of a link about airlines and fuel costs.  For some time now I have accepted the James Dines prediction that we are heading into an era that will see, if not the end of air travel, at least a great reduction in the prevalence of this unsustainable luxury.  In this context, I have a couple of times posted why I am not willing to spend money (money that I could otherwise use to buy a bit more physical silver and gold) on car ferry costs, airfare and taxi costs, and hotel and restaurant costs to attend a meeting of like-minded PM investors in some part of this continent.  This rude suggestion is typically met with the predictable retort that meeting face to face with others interested in PM and related markets is such a rewarding experience.  I do not deny the truth of the latter statement.  Its just that I have trouble bringing myself to give our hard-earned fiat to sellers of fossil fuels, transportation services, hotel and meal services, when I could instead convert that fiat to some physical silver or gold. 

I guess I inherited some of the budgetary precautions that my parents grew up with when they raised me and four siblings in the 1930’s  on a not very productive farm in southwestern Saskatchewan.  Some early imprints die hard - and as always today, I do recognize that there are different strokes for different folks.

And, as always, I enjoy your posts.  Cheers.  Equiz.

Awesome stuff. I haven’t made it over to GATA yet but those folks are leaders, shakers and movers.

SPM.To up 9% today, after comments on BNN. So pf down 4 bucks today.

Holding tight to the bull.

“In the movie (Wizard of Oz) it is made clear that silver is the key totaking down the wicked witch (the cabal).”

Well I have an idea that may bring his statement to fruition.

We should start conducting day-to-day transactions in 90% Silver US Coinage.Catherine Austin Fitts makes it easy to figure out what each transaction isworth with her free calculator:
www.silverandgoldaremoney.com

For example, a 1964 Kennedy half is worth about $6 in silver but, here’s the kicker, only 50 cents for tax purposes.

So, if you normally work for $60 per hour, you can ask for payment in ten 1964 Kennedy halves and only claim about $5 for tax purposes, approximately a 90% reduction in taxable earnings. You will simply be offering a “discount” for payment in 1964 Kennedy halves.

Since these coins are legal currency, we can start “taking down the cabal” by conducting business this way.

Then, rather than selling them for their intrinsic value on ebay, etc., we can use them for transactions with others so the IRS cannot claim a capital gain. (I am not so sure they could anyway.) Once you explain the process to the payee, s/he should be willing to accept them. Who would not want to reduce taxable income by 90%?

It sounds crazy, but a CPA friend said it is OK. I have not spoken to a tax attorney but perhaps one of your readers can provide a legal opinion.

Just think, this idea is coming out just in time for May Day, which Bix said was “…the symbolic day that workers fight against the tyrants of business!”
