<<did you read? or just check section titles?>>

I read your rambling, meandering, jabbering prose until my eyes boggled, my face became numb, and my neck muscles were steeped in lactic acid from the strain of holding my head away from the sleeping pillow. In the end my stupefaction was complete, and welcome torpor ensued.

<<did you read the article closely?>>

You seem to fancy that that your posts are being hovered over like the torah by muttering rabbinical scholars, their payos brushing against the pages, the sound merging with their mystical whisperings. Bzzt! Sorry, wrong answer.

<<could my answer be any more comprehensive and detailed?>>

Could your answer be any more long-winded and obfuscatory?

Why don't you just answer my questions, if you can?

Why Gold?
If Gold, why Silver?
Why not Platinum?
Why not Oil?
Why not Diamonds?
Do we have to take delivery of gold to be safe? I guess not since you are hawking Cardero like a life insurance salesman and talking about all the funds that are going to get into the gold sector.

Since we don't have to own the commodity why isn't oil a better choice? You mention oil, but the title of your article is Gold Volcano, not Texas Tea, so I guess you think that gold will be bigger, but you don't prove why.

<<I dont undermine your argument one iota>>
Who's not reading now? I said that you undermine your own argument by saying silver will rise because of global monetary collapse (with order of magnitude in the Jillion Billions), and because of industrial demand ( order of magnitude a few billion). (Jillion Billion)/(Billion) = Jillion, global monetary collapse wins ! Who cares about Global monetary collapse + Dinner service for 12?

<<I dont even begin to understand these questions of yours.....[habitrail said:]***You use a volcano metaphor, Within that metaphor, I ask avenues through what? ***>>

I will make it simpler with a fun, non-volcanic metaphor. Think of your arguments as a path for what could happen, and the global economy is a giant flock of sheep. But wait! the path is through a meadow, so the little sheep can go wherever they want and stray off the path into that patch of daisies over yonder and roll around and play and wait for their shepherd to come over and play with them (who is he?).

In other words, Jim Willie, you have described a path for what can happen, but if you do not show why other things won't happen, thereby preserving the integrity of your "path", then you have wasted your time.
