lease rates up kitco.com More sales by the Brits -- such a waste to have all that gold just sitting around. cnniw.yellowbrix.com Makes me wonder if there wasn't something to the rumour the other day -- gold wasn't up that much that they had to pimp another sale ... I think someone else has "blown up" LOL

Tice ain't done so well according to cnnfn cnnfn.cnn.com All these returns look puny -- I think there is some slanted reporting going on here ... Nice excerpt from the end >>One fund, BearGuard Fund, which had been the first short-only fund when it debuted in 1999, is closing at the end of the month because of small asset size, said manager Paul McIntyre. Ironically, the fund earned 26 percent in 2000, when most parts of the fund world suffered. The fund earned another 18.8 percent in February. "We just weren't able to get enough interest or understanding from a short-only fund," McIntyre said. Tennes, of Rydex Funds, said he's also surprised asset size hasn't taken off. "We're not exactly sure why, but one possibility is although people are discouraged by the performance in the market recently, there may not be a lot of fear," Tennes said. "It may be, despite the slide, that there's still a large degree of optimism in the market." <<

All major media outlets, whether online or in 3D, are reporting earnings shortfalls due to drops in advertising revenues. Not just Yahoo, but the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, Fox, CNN, are the ones which come to mind just off the top of my head. Now here is a business model we don't seem to have discussed - you know how people put links to books on Amazon on their websites? If you join Amazon's Associates program, you get a referral fee for every book that is bought via a clickthrough from your site. Referral fees, discounts, free shipping - is this any way to run a business? Apparently not. j-bradford-delong.net
