from gold eagle... Bellwhether Microsoft plunges to new low (8x8--) May 19, 14:13 This sucker is going to first support at $35/share (down another 46%) before its decline slows. And since MSFT was the bellwhether leader for the enire stock during the last 18 years, its will "shepherd" the lemmings over the precipice. Genius Bill Gates took measures not too long ago to protect his fortune. He bought 20% of a silver mining company. And because it is a publicly owned company, Gates was obliged to disclose it. HOWEVER, gold bullion is NOT SUBJECT to Securities Law and vigilant eyes of the SEC. Therefoere, I have absolutely NO DOUBT shrewd Gates has a few tonnes of gold squireled away somewhere. One does not become the World's Richest Man by being a putz. Gates most certainly has hedged the fall of his Microsoft shares by buying gold bullion and a silver mining company. Lest we forget, Stock Market Genius par excellence, Warren Buffett bought 20% of the world's silver supply a couple of years' ago...and he prudently took possession of the bullion. To date there is NO concrete evidence that he has divested himself of the silver. Furthermore, please recall Buffett's favourite holding period is "FOREVER." What can we all learn from the world's TWO RICHEST AND BRILLIANT MEN? I will not insult your intelligence by verbalizing it!

George, yep...it may well be that the XAU will test the upper boundary of the wedge it recently broke out of from above before beginning to run in earnest. probably next week's BoE auction will be the all-clear. anyway, i'm not too worried about how long it might take, as long as we get a strong run once things get going. agreed on the ramp being pathetic...those keep failing lately.
