FGC - newsletter poll interesting one

deciding which to include will be tough since there are so many of them-mostly worth very little. I don’t envy the roll of decider on this one. Jason Hommel, Deepcaster?

FGC ….. Can’t Forget

Doug Casey …… might even include John Embrey  …..

Looks like the order to abandon ship has been given. Investment banks

The gun poll suggestion

It is only my opinion, but it seems there are many who do not purchase weapons from dealers and will not apply for a concealed carry permit where law allows simply because the when the socialist busy bodies and central planners obtain absolute power wish to confiscate, that is obviously where they will begin. Therefore, I doubt the such a poll would have much validity and would be a waste of time and space. There are things which should not be divulged-for obvious reasons.

PS: OF course if I ever did purchase a gun, it would be from a registered dealer.

Sorry for the tardiness of this note but I was waiting for the close to write it.

On the surface today might appear to be a boring, as usual day in the gold fields. But, under the surface I strongly suspect something different has finally begun, very possibly the move most of us have been expecting and hoping for. This is a strange statement when one considers that the stock market market ended up near its top up nearly 50 points and the HUI barely moved, just 3 points.

However, remember that at the opening the price of gold had again plunged, and the HUI sank another 9 points. I have always felt that the shares are the best barometer of the direction of gold and of the strength and weakness of gold. So even though gold closed down a few dollars, the senior shares did okay, but some of the smaller ones really came to life. Most of the ones that I follow were up and several up more than 10% on very good volume for a change. If this is the historic market that most of us believe, then the junior shares should be the leaders of the future.

What does this mean? Remember, the price of gold is only one part of the junior equation. The other are its costs. As the ratio of gold to commodities goes up, it is a very positive signal (this is not my thought, but Bob Hoye’s whose work I greatly admire and follow.) We have had a very sharp drop in some of the base metals over the past couple of weeks, and I think that the junior shares are possibly reflecting the increase in this ratio.

If this is the case, we should see some very strong pops momentarily in many of the junior exploration companies, and that should include even the beleaguered readers of this column . It has been a very frustrating couple of years, but I believe that the light, and not the oncoming train is at the end of our tunnel.

The other important point is that the strength is very likely signaling profound weakness coming in the stock market, and in particular, the financial shares. This is what happened in late 2001 and early 2002, and as Bob Hoye points out this week in November 1973 when the stock market dropped 20% and the gold shares took off. If so, we should know about this very soon, and it will not be done in a corner but before the entire financial community. Chuck

I like your idea for a poll also…….another idea is ‘when do you think the next major (ie Bear Sterns) financial institution will go under?…..3 months…..before the end of the year……within a year….etc.

Problem with my favorites list

Based on discussion here in the tent a while back about Zoombli(reg. cleaner and bug scanner), I ordered and installed the purchased software.  Ran both, the cleaner found 40 some items in the cookies that needed to go, so I did.  Shortly later I noticed that the health folder in my favorites was gone.  So far as I can tell thats the only file missing.  Wasn’t in the recycle bin eithor.

Checked with zoombli-their advice was to restore-did so back to the installation date.  It restored alright, except for my folder and kcast no longer comes up on the bottom line, which I think is a reg. issue.

Any ideas about what might of happen?  I know that some of the web sites saved in that folder would not be FDA approved.  Can someone like that  put a bomb in my computer?

good evening everyone

how about a poll on which investment newsletter you subscribe to?  I don’t presently get any newsletters, but I am curious which (if any) other folks are looking at.

FGC and smokke…..gun poll

I would be honest……after all, I have no problem about mentioning both of my ozs!!

FGC (19:42) You Americans go ahead and have your poll about guns if you want to.

My interests are in the PM market entities that can be traded internationally, and the international news events that influence one’s activities in that market.  Cheers.  Equiz.

smokke….I think thats a good poll question

….I wonder if everybody would be honest though….

…what do you allthink about a gun pole ?

Hey this is a switch…Midas leads off with this…stolen from Goldtent last nite

IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!
–Rudyard Kipling
