Well Clinton would like others to join him in his short positions so the US isn't the only one that gets killed when the dollar turns down and gold reverses. Clinton economic policy is to sell off all national reserves of oil palladium gold and anything else he can get his hands on to prop up the credit bubble. He's jerking off the economy just like Monica did him. M.

<We must be very near gold having a chance to break up HARD in price!> The Australian Dollar is falling hard again. Not good for Gold. Doesn't the XAU usually lead the shiny yellow metal? How can it look good for Gold here regardless of what Clinton says or does? Clinton has merely thrown salt on a wound. The primary cause for the decline in the POG is not Clinton. Your definitely right in this regard, Richard: There is something very intrinsic in the Information Age that is very hostile to gold. I don't blame you for your feelings about the Information Age. However, the trade off has been good to me. Sure, I'd prefer to have my cake and eat it too. But it seems that I can't have it both ways. The Industrial Revolution was biased in many ways against the concept of a Ph.D. Most jobs required a special niche and the concept of a Ph.D who had a vast array of knowledge and information but no specific applicable skill was well known. That has all changed in the Information Age. When I was in graduate school in the 70's, did you know that I had to sign documents stating that I could not sue the University for my possible future unemployment? Just about everyone who I met at that time told me that getting a Ph.D. was useless, including my own mother! Future Internists and Pediatricians use to laugh at me at parties and tell me that they would make 10 times the income I would. HA HA HA HA HA HA! Guess who has been making much more throughout the 90's? Sorry, but I like the value that the Information Age places on intelligence and education over the Industrial Age. Back in the 70's, I use to get even sanitation workers telling me that they were more marketable than me. Pay back is tough for some. The Big Bozo Ph.D's of the Industrial Revolution have now become some of the big winners of the Information Age. The Information Age is the best thing that has happened to me professionally speaking. Don't talk to me about discrimination and bias. I know all about it. Many of the people who were getting MBA's in the 70's and whose dream was to work in upper management for the Fortune 500 and who were laughing in my face as I was getting a Ph.D. in Philosophy, have been my clients as they got laid off from their holy corporations, as I taught them the skills to prosper as an individual and Entrepreneur in the Information Age. I've saved enough to live well even if a Great Depression comes next year.
