RE:
GOLD SUFFERS FROM AN INSTANT GRATIFICATION CULTURE
stockhouse.ca

fyi .....

Some investors - who are not in print -
are *realistically* guided by these RULES ....

Short term capital gains are taxed at the MARGINAL
TAX RATE. (40% to 50%)

Long term capital gains - AIN'T. i.e. 15%.


These NON-PRINTED about investors have two
family incomes and their marginal tax rate influences
their investing logic ...

Characteristically (including me)
at least 7 investors in CMM:

are married ....
over 45 years old .....
have TWO working adults in their family (i.e. mom and dad)

ergo - they are in CMM for the long term. i.e.
even longer than 12 months .....

frustrated, frustrating, venting, negatives posts
on SH do not matter .....

All that matters is Earnings After Taxes ...

In this regard ....

(we'll do $5.0 million EAT this coming quarter and $6.3 million next quarter - subject to - )

Does CMM have to book a tax provision?
If so, my numbers are *overstated* and ....

Can gold hang at an average of $700 July thru Sep?

Historically the seasonal low point for gold prices
per the 15 year and 30 year chart is August ...

However, these charts have been severely violated in

March, - hisorically 2nd low point - but reached new high
April, - reached new high
and May - gold buff wisdom says take the month off
but gold hit $720 and the bank of England (obviously) jumped all over metals to kill thenm off and help London Metals Exchange

To summarize .... and I can't prove this .... CMM has
new investors whose mindset is more along the lines
of SCION ....

and I suspect we are in the majority ...

regards,
John
