These thoughts are "Between The Lines", (and this thread grows too quick to read!!)
Wasn't it something how President Clinton's personal trouble raised the price of the junior gold mining companies 10% Friday? I think it causes insecurity about how well his name can contribute to the present worldly effort in keeping the various economies stable.
I have been interested in the mining companies for a couple years on thoughts of a possible "flight to gold", more so since the little mid October shakeup, more so since world banks are showing their troubles, and more so since this is my first sign they will respond well when investors change their minds and rush into hedging positions. The change can come practically overnight, but who knows when?
But I do know the springs are tightening, and even feel the Roth IRA has been introduced to encourage investors to keep their money in the market. The government will get the tax money up front while tempting investors with hope into an overall long term loosing market (I'm guessing here, but think it's a good guess in that the government heads know more than we do, aren't about to lead us to money, and the Clinton slip let me see a card in their hand. Again, I'm guessing, but it looks like hidden truth to me. The gold related market is unnaturally down at this time.
How long before the truth will out? I don't know. Just chatting!
