Hi 49er, Actually I had been commenting for a couple of days over on the Ask Michael Burke and Currency threads. I only showed up here because someone linked a post and suggested a response. for a few transaction shekels to your commission check and annual bonus calcs, I expected you to pop up here sooner I find the implication of that comment offensive. I have always been honest, open and respectful with you in the past. If that is how you feel about me I see no need for further communication. Have a nice life. Henry

>>>Hello, Henry. Since YOU ARE one of the granddaddy inventors of this whole sorry gold lease mess (yes, SORRY MESS is from MY POG perspective) for a few transaction shekels to your commission check and annual bonus calcs, I expected you to pop up here sooner and tell us how every rally had been prior anticipated, and "all shorts have covered."<<<< You're saying Henry helped invent gold leasing and accuse him of trying to jawbone the market down while he finds gold for his clients? Do you have proof of that? That's a pretty irresponsible accusation if you don't. I appreciate your disdain and vociferous condemnation of the CB's and their agents for this gold leasing fiasco, but I challenge you to provide some proof or I think you owe Mr. V an apology. Please don't get me wrong. I look forward to your many insights into the markets and the enthusiasm with which you present them, but please give us an explanation.

Follows is what Ole 49r said to explain whats happening. But first I will make a comment. My understanding is that the 49r is a reference to those men and women who traveled to California in 1849 in search of gold. Back then in the West of USA was unsettled with no HMO or corner drugstore or food markets of frozen tv dinners. Milk came out of a cow, not a cardboard or plastic container. Life was raw and rough and unforgiven. Mistakes made then could not be fixed or undone like todays Home Depot & WalMart, but by you with what you had and you knew. Trust and fair play between folks was not done because everyone was a push over and timid, but because everyone was stretched to the limit just to survive for water food and shelter, and if you could not trust your neighboor and this snowballed with everyone not trusting others, then everyone's chance to survive in that environment was lessened to the side of not making it. So, not a code of honor, but a code to live and let live, and help others since you may become the other needing help. Not the city view here where others are a possible threat, where in the city dog eat dog to survive. In the wild unsettled West of USA of 1800's what you saw was what you get, both in the land and in people. This is the Ole 49r type, or Ole 49r is this type. Henry is that city slicker type knowned by those in the wild unsettled west as one to be advoided, but if he does enter your living space(si thread), then do as you would if you were in a fight with another in hand to hand combat. Don't watch his hands or the knife he is holding, but look him directly in the eyes at all time. On a thread like this, looking him in the eyes is done by telling him what you are thinking, and then pursue messages for a eye contact. Henry, the slick smooth talking, your friend, city guy. 4o9r says the following, which I agree with 110% How do you expect ANY SANE goldplayer to believe that a mere 7 days shortcovering rally unwinds nearly 19 years of the leasing game you created and have benefitted from? It took you and your peers too damn long to convince the banks to do this lease crap in the first place 19 years ago for me or anyone else to believe for an instant, they rolled over this easily or gave up the game. For starters, you ARE in there, aren't you, personally, Henry, holding institution shorts' hands, making the phone calls and assuring them you'll find them more gold to lease if they just give you a few days???.
