Bob, before I reply to you, its time again for me to start beating the drums and try and get mgr shareholders jumping up and down.
This should be easy to do since the shareholders are already shouting and screaming and jumping up and down. All I have to do is exchange their chants of a tar and feather Dave Webb melody to something that will replace anger with hope.
So let me do this by responding to your reply, and replace your opinion of whats possible with the opposite. This will be accepted quite easily by others here since you have already acknowledged that when it comes to predicting the future based on your logic and reason, the opposite will most likely happen.
You said in your post:
<<If a gold squeeze starts - Slick will open Fort Knox to cover. The last thing this administration can tolerate is an acceleration in the price of gold. The "House of Cards" is built on this premis.>>
Now Bob, eventho the above prediction of yours will not happen, your next statement actually touches on the reason why.
<<Remember the saying - don't fight the fed.>>
Applies also to this President Clinton, and the big shocker to you will be that Alen Greenspan the Fed Man, has a secret agenda or what one may say, what you have seened and have gotten from Alex is not really what you observed. You might say that I have some insider info, and Alen has a trick up his sleeve. Sometimes the best way to hide something is to always keep it in plain sight, so as others are looking in all the secret hiding places, they ignore and thus don't see it.
I once wrote a note to myself on a small yellow post-a-note, and placed it on the tip of my nose. I walked around talking out loud saying to the people around me "... where is that note ... probably right in front of my nose but I can't see it".
