ipso_facto (13:49. An interesting item you posted about

someone re-introducing mules for raking of a farm crop.  Dont you wish that Farmboy was on board at Goldtent now?  I’m sure he would add an interesting comment and dimension to the item you posted.  Best wishes.  Equiz.

Lurking on and off for a while now

You guys are a complete hoot. And very very sharp by the way.

Where the Sam Hill is Belize?

MadMike and Ladybug

are back from Tottsville. I think she be still swooning over the extra gold and diamonds she has to carry around on her hand. If you have not heard yet, MadMike asked his Ladybug to marry him and she said YES!

After our final dinner in Tottsville, FGC gave out some door prizes. One was a Wall Street mint 10 ounce bar of silver. Imagine Ladybug’s surprise when FGC picked Ladybug as the winner. Imagine Ladybug’s shock as MadMike reached over and picked up the silver bar from the table. “Don’t I get a chance to at least touch it?”, exclaimed Ladybug. Says MadMike: “No, you deserve much more than silver, you deserve gold” (as I held up a gold ring). “Ladybug, will you be the gold in my golden years?” As I dip to one knee, I ask her “Will you marry me?” Her answer: Yes, Yes, Yes!!! 

Thanks, Mme Crown for the roses and rose petals in our room. 

Thanks, FGC, for that little sleight of hand in pulling Ladybug’s name from the pile. I really would have been at a loss if you had picked IRISH….

Welcome new poster…Bert Sargent

……your choice has been added….How long you been Lurking ?

You got that right Buygold

We had a good sized tornado here that ran northwest along I-25 that did a lot of damage today.

It’s pretty unusual for that to happen around here.  We went over 50 years in the state without a fatality due to tornado until the past couple of years.  My wife was driving from Fort Collins down I-25 when it passed a few miles east of her.  whew!!

Agree Soee about speculators

I dunno what the price of oil should be, but when the specs give up shorting it, we will have a good idea. :)

  Yes, I’ve heard of Peak Oil - the idea has been thrust upon us for several years.

  Yes, the dollar has dropped 43%, during which time oil has risen over 1000%.

  I don’t know whether we are in “Peak Oil”. I do know that this is the second energy crisis - the first being manufactured. I do know that when gasoline rose from whatever it was in the 70’s, $.30 or $.40 a gallon to over $1 - it never went back to $.40 as oil became magically plentiful again. Somehow I think $3-4 (at least) is here to stay, no matter what.

   I don’t think that believing the Peak Oil theory could be another hoax is out of the realm of possibility. If you read Ipso’s article about Lindsay William’s and Gull Island, he certainly believes there is plenty of oil in Alaska. Again, I have to wonder why the U.S. government has thwarted every effort to drill there, despite our ever increasing dependence on foreign sources. Even the most radical conservationist would have to grapple with the question of risk to the environment through drilling for oil or risks to it from waging war. Somehow, I think war may have the greater impact.

  Lastly, we know that Tesla had discovered how to garner the electro magnetic energy of the earth to create electricity. His dream was to provide free energy to the world - until he contacted J.P. Morgan who promptly quashed the dream. We know that there have been several different inventors that have learned to separate the Hydrogen fron the H2O, and have used it to power vehicles, yet the technology never seems to make it to the mainstream. Why?

   The trick is to keep us consuming and dependent. It keeps us powerless.

   Anyway, probably a little off topic. Do I think it could be a farce? They’ve been lying to us for a very long time. No need to stop now.

Hi , did you see that Alexco signed a good MOU with Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation. Those boys at Nova Gold can sure get along with First Nations. Go lead, silver, and zinc.

From Dave in Denver this morning with crude above $134 and gold down $5…

You know, it’s interesting someone would short oil and gold. I’ve been analyzing the gold/oil ratio for the past few days. It’s never been as low as it is now AND everytime it’s been this low, which isn’t often, it’s snapped back with a vengeance. So right now it’s hovering around 7, and the long term mean is like 15 (long term meaning like 100 years, so it’s a good data). If anything, a true hedgie would short oil and go long gold against it, and a true goldie would just get long gold and leverage the bet.

Soee - No prob


FG: you got to put GB, americans or congress on that poll

– whoever is responsible for a dollar collapse

How about

Bill Clinton with Rubin and Benson?

A trifecta for the ages, they did huge damage by rolling long term into short term debt. Time now to pay the piper!

New Poll…seems apropo for the present Oil Mania

VOTE VOTE VOTE…..

Previous Poll results..well over 50% Tenters beleive Inflation in the US is 10 to 20%…and a good number think Zimbabwe…..

Wow…that LT Oil Chart….Oil was 10 bucks abarrell in 1999

…Its gone up 1350% in 9 years…..and what I cant understand is…how come Inflation is only about 2.5% a year on average…while Oil is up well over 100% per year on average….Something does not compute !!!
