Hutch, <But no where did the derivative markets collapse!?>> Has not gotten bad enough yet .... and BTW - looks to me like it got very close with LTCM - if you think that is going to be an isolated incident ..... hmmmmmm, did I ever tell you about the land I have for sale ..... well, it is near this watercourse and ..... you can fish from your back dore ... errrh, I mean door and ...... . Listen Hutch, when you have the greed of humans to contend with, you have a tiger by the tail .... personally I do not want to rely on poorly regulated derivates markets and hedge funds ... if you do, that's fine. <<Total meltdown... well, forget gold, buy guns. >> Nonsense - utter nonsense. You equate total meltdown with some sort of apocalyptic event ... that is not necessarily the case .... it all about psychology, not Armageddon. Take care, MB
