Bobby, for sure you are much better at asking questions in a civil and polite and non abrasive manner than I, but I feel a duty to counter your approach and prevent this thread from becoming non distinguishable from the chat room at the web site of The New Captain Kangaroo. <<people buying cars with nothing down etc?>> "... zero percent down and zero percent financing likely boosted sales of autos sharply..." Reminds me of car advertisements these two Nissan car dealships would run in the same newspaper trying to capture the same pool of buters. One put out the car price as $20,000 plus cash or trade of $2,000. I saw this as meaningless, but some people were lead to think that something of a "save" was here. As we know, all they want to happen is to get you into the showroom. The other dealership saw that "sale" advertisement, and placed in the next days newspaper a "better", $19,000 plus cash or trade of $3,000 and the next day the other dealership $18,000 plus cash or trade of $4,000 so I wondered if eventually I would see $1 plus cash or trade of $21,199 then FREE plus cash or trade of $22,000 << I still don't buy the argument that producers are to blame for the demise of gold..the threats of unloading all that gold by the CBers was like playing chicken..I don't think all of the mining companies were up for that kind of game..a lot that were went bankrupt>> Sounds like they are between a rock and a hard place, and tempting to feel sorry for them and not blame them. But I am that thankfully not very often type person that sees excuses as horse feathers and gives no slack to those who get into trouble, as I will say that they are in the sucking situation thru their own fault, and they will cause others not deserving to be hurt.
