I vote we print up T-shirts for the Myth Thread that say "I got fucked by Easy Al and the PPT in the bullSHIT market of '99" We could list all the POS on one shirt sleeve, and all the AZWs on the other . . . but then I guess it would have to be a long sleeve T-shirt. <nfg> Maybe put a picture of Realman on the back!

re: Gold and Kuwait...i just read somewhere that the Fed may have called in a marker, sort of, "good morning Kuwait, we're in need of a little favor here" to help bail out the trapped shorts. of course this is just an unsubstantiated rumor, and yet, it sounds just right. we'll see if other bit players in the gold lease market get leaned on as well... since the 12-month lease rate has fallen to a tad over 3% and Kuwait will probably never see it's gold again, at least not in it's physical form (like so many other CB's, all it'll have will be a piece of paper that is in theory a claim on it's gold reserves) i cannot believe that this was a business decision that's on the level. interestingly, England is the destination of the gold, home to the bullion banks that are big players in the gold shorting scam and that must have felt some heat descending on them now that some of their trusted customers like ASL et al. have almost bitten the dust due to their "hedge" books. last time i looked, Kuwait had no need for 3% on 79 tons of gold...don't they sell that other commodity that's doubled in price this year?
