QUOTES OF THE WEEK, compliments of Swiss American Trading they are a Phoenix-based gold & silver collector coin firm 800-BUY-COIN

"The acceleration has not yet begun ...indications are suggestive of a fairly marked turnaround. We are stabilizing and there is some indication of return, but it's not at this stage by any means clear."
-ALAN GREENSPAN, FED Chairman (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Figuring out what Alan Greenspan is saying, steering a course between his "indeeds" and "to be sures" is such a mind-numbing task that there is something of a cottage industry on Wall Street devoted to interpreting Fed-speak. But the Fed Chairman's chatter is crystal clear compared with the Bush administration's mixed messages on the dollar."
-JUSTIIN LAHART, CNNFN, (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Right now, though, Wall Street stock promoters and their followers have the upper hand. The more they see news about debts or deflation, the more they try to persuade you that the Federal Reserve will come to the rescue. And the more they see news of an uptick in the economy following the Iraq war, the more they talk about "a real recovery under way. Watch out! It's just another great trap!"
-MARTIN WEISS, PhD, SafeMoneyReport.com (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"How can anyone even consider buying overvalued stocks for long-term investing purposes? Yet, ever since 2000, Wall Street has been utterly ignoring the Long Valuation Waves and nefariously seducing investors into buying overvalued stocks, and they have already lost trillions by following this horribly flawed and negligent advice."
-ADAM HAMILTON, "Valuation Wave Reversion 2" lemetropolecafe (free trial membership)

"Europe is on the brink of economic failure. Policy makers need to go into a state of “high alert.” Unfortunately, the EMU-driven mindset shows no such concern. That must change, as the gorilla in the region moves inexorably closer to its own deflationary abyss. The recent appreciation of the euro — and the likelihood of more to come — adds a special urgency to a shift in the policy mindset."
-STEPHEN ROACH, Morgan Stanley, Lessons of Japan morganstanley.com

"Money is the builder or destroyer of society. An honest money system brings prosperity to all citizens - willing to work. A dishonest one enriches a few at the expense of everyone else - regardless of how hard they work."
-CRAIG R. SMITH, History of Your Money (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Gold's bull market is alive and well. More important, gold formed a major bottom in February, 2001. And despite its ups and downs, the major trend has been up for more than two years now. As long as this continues, and we believe it will, then gold is headed higher."
-MARY ANNE & PAM ADEN, Aden Forecast (see below)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"The question -- should I mess around with this bear market in stocks -- or should I take a large position in gold and gold shares and bank on the bull market in gold being the right way to go? I decided that the potential big money was with the gold bull market rather than trying to "beat the bear. And that's where I am now."
