From usagold.com This guy sounds scared... Number Six (10/24/99; 21:07:12MDT - Msg ID:17363) I am a confirmed GoldBug. Before I "saw the light" I spent a couple of years researching the Y2K problem in great depth, and am one of the "regulars" on Ed Yourdon's Timebomb 2000 Forum - by that circuitous route I began studying the gold and precious metals markets with a y2k bias. My background is in Airline realtime reservations systems, I'm currently on a major Airlines y2k project in Denver, and I spent the last six years working for VISA in San Francisco on their realtime worldwide financial systems. Bottom line - I believe, like the BIS in Switzerland, that the international Banking system of systems is in serious danger of failure at rollover. Ditto the likes of COMEX, NYMEX etc. etc. Possible bank runs. The whole enchilada. The problem of imported bad data and cascading cross defaults is very very real IMHO. Systemic lock-up. Hence my distrust of digital money, my accumulation of gold and silver, and my desire to be "cashed out" of all digital money and "paper gold" before rollover. (BTW I'm still trying to track down a copy of the movie "Rollover" without sucess I'm afraid - quite a coincidence don't you think, especially with regards to FOA's prediction of a POG explosion?)
