I always have a leg in that realm too and I know that human reasoning comes from Reason like stars are stars of the Sky. But I have another side too, a side that lives in the Nothingness of the Night, a side where there is no hope, a side that identifies with the pain, agony, tears, cries and heartache of the "Gold Bug." I love Gold too, like they do. I just handle the situation differently than most of them do. I identify with their "Lamentations". Make no mistake about that. It is a very dark tragic thread where some have lost their mind and all hope. GPM is a desert in a way. I don't know if you ever read Sartre's play, "No Exit", where he said at the end, that "Hell is other People," but that attitude is prevalent here at times. There are a few people here who are very sharp investors too. You can learn about all the factors that affect the Price of Gold and become a trading wizard in this market if you lurk here for 18 months. It is possible to learn the ins and outs of the Gold Market here and profit. We debate values here often because we know that Gold is a perceived value. My values are in the minority here because my God is Learning and what is best for Humanity. The problem I have is that I can't prove that Humanity and Learning is God. They can't prove that their God is God either so we travel around in circles looking at what is going on in the gold market differently. I love high tech too. But that is because it benefits my God, Humanity. I like making money too. I promise to post on your thread and enter Heaven.
