"Gold going vertical. What's up?"
Let's see. War, corporate abuse, government scandal, anthrax, smallpox, various other germs, nuclear devices missing, Islam world gone nuts, incompetent FBI, CIA, etc., American people being treated as fools by wall street, energy heads doing themselves in, accounting firms being more than creative, crazies all over America and no one knows squat, people's retirement accounts beginning to knock on the conscience (selling considered for the first time in 15 years by many -- no one wants to hold a stock that may have been illegally inflated while REAL gold/silver is STILL near 20 year lows), hedges, derivatives, political correctness garbage dictating law and war on terror, dollar pump machine beginning to smoke from overuse, deficit spending beginning to feed the ol' interest meter into overdrive, personal debt beginning to be a worry (why did I upgrade my last two houses syndrome), greenspan god-status changing slowly ("maybe that is not a halo, no, Fred, I think he's wearing a red nose and face paint"), did I say war and terror?
You reap what you sow, and America is about to reap the fruit of Wild Bill's willy ("I don't care what he does as long as my stock account keeps growing as fast as Willie's willy") -- 8 years is a long time to condone idiocy.
I remain,
