Pinky's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday feature of At a Bottom Now for Gold...
And now metals investors, please scammed for our cash in gold ransom:
Oh say can you see
By the capital's flight,
That the POG is a dog
And is no longer gleaming.
Markets hype; Rukeyser
Mocks the price of gold's plight,
As precious metals we watched
Were so fatally tanking.
Then Asian market's big scare
Metals rising a hair
Gave truth through the night
That our POG was still there.
Oh say does that five star fund
Over Midas yet find favor?
As the Dow comes off its highs
With Krugerrands now almost free.
$$$
Vancouver, "Duh"
Placer Dome from Bre-X ran.
True speculative move as all the metals waned.
With crowing hearts we see their demise.
Gary North would agree
From far and wide,
the metals slide; we lost our shirts for thee.
Central Banks keep our POG practically free.
O Canada, we prefer hard currency.
No gold to back, your dollar's miserly.

The continuing saga of Pogton Place...
By Jove, Jeeves, this is my first American baseball game and seats right up to the playing field. Smashing.
Indeed Sir.
By the way, what are the teams for this match?
The Chicago Cubs and the Expos Sir.
My word, what is a Chicago Cub, Jeeves?
I believe it's a bear, Sir.
Indeed, the bears certainly have been exposed. They seem to be playing a United Kingdom team...
The Expos are a Canadian team Sir.
Why, what in thunder is going on Jeeves?
The players are signing autographs Sir.
Drat, I haven't any paper. Jeeves, where are you going?...
...Here are your autographs Sir.
But we didn't have any paper...
I took the liberty of using the Bre-X certificate you always line the case for your field glasses with Sir.
Well done! What's the fellow's name on first Jeeves?
His name is Goldman I believe Sir.
Don't be silly, man, gold's never made it to first base in my experience.

From the Tailing Box...
Dear At a Bottom Now for Gold:
I'm a concerned parent who wonders at what age children should be encouraged to take up interest in investing. -- May Ternell
Dear May:
My 5 year old nephew often walks around with his prized beanie bag doggie, Spot. We were taking Spot for a walk the other day when my nephew announces, "Spot knows how to read you know. He's a very smart dog."
"Really?" I said, "Does he have a job?" I asked.
"No, he doesn't need one," my nephew replied.
"Why?" said I.
"Because he has stocks," he replied.
--Whirlwind
Dear ABNFG:
I'm 100% into the market and can't sleep at night. What should I do? --Sleepless in the Market.
Dear Sleepless:
My nephew had that problem the other night so I told him to imagine in his head a fence with a bunch of sheep on one side and to have the sheep jump over the fence one by one until they're all over and by that time you should be asleep.
A half a minute or so went by. "How many did you count?" he asked.
"12," I said, "My sheep are slow and some don't want to jump over right away."
"My sheep are fast, he said, "I have 30 over already."
Another minute went by. "I counted 85 so far," he said.
"If you run out of sheep you can always have the ones already over jump back to where they started," I said.
"Why," he said, "How many do you get?"
--Whirlwind
Dear Pinky's Tailing Box:
Zappa gained 4 cents today--what's up? --Watcher
Dear Watcher:
Zappa. --Whirlwind
Hey Alan, If you would show Zappa's drill results, maybe they would see why you are buying it. You aint mindless, Crazy maybe!
--Dean
Dear Dean:
20 bagger from here if gold ever rallies to $400. Why do they put this jacket on me when I'm not even cold? ;) --Alan
