<Where are they, everyone should remember them, they said Natural Gas would never again go up, they said dividends would never again matter, they said........> Who are "they"? The "they" which is nothing definite, and which all humans are, though not as a sum, prescribes the kind of Reality of commonness. The "they" have their own ways to be. The "they" maintains itself rigidly and dogmatically in the commonness of that which belongs to it, of that which it regards as valid and that which it does not, and of that to which it grants success and that to which it denies it. In this commonness with which it prescribes what can and may be ventured, it keeps watch over everything exceptional that thrusts itself to the fore. Everything gained by a struggle becomes just something to be manipulated. Every secret loses its force. Every Human is the other and no one is himself or herself. The "they" answers the question of who the everyday human is, the "nobody" to whom every human has yielded itself in relating to others. I would distinguish the "they" self of everyday humans with the Genuine Self, that is, from the Self which has grasped itself in its own unique way. In terms of investing and trading, I need to be aware of how the "they" prescribes that way of interpreting the World of Economics. The "they" think Gold is Dead. The "they" came to this conclusion because "they" only look at what lies closest. As a transcendental investor who looks forward, however, I am under the obligation to clear away all concealments and obscurities, as a breaking up of disguises with which the "they" bars its own way. Never forget that the "they" is quite fickle and changes its mind often. Let me make myself clear here: The Transcendental Investor does not detach itself from the "they." He needs the "they" to profit handsomely. This is why all lines of communication should be kept open with the "they" and I advocate dialogue and engagement.
