(2) Lou Dobb's Moneyline/CNN Claude, A small number of years ago i entered this world and ventured into this place called Silicon Investor, which many of us call our first www.home away from that investing environmint of telephone and news print and snail-mail services of i will guess you stated out as a professional advisor to help others invest. It happened on my second week on this Silicon Investor, one of those dark spooky nights when i received a post from The Richard of Mazz asking me if i was related to a Graystone. Not knowing if it was a person he or she, or an object, i asked The Richard of Mazz what it was but never got any reply or clue in return. This happened just as i entered puberty with those expected changes to occur in a person, and since i was never asked again about a seemingly connection or relationship to this Graystone which now appears to be a person, he or she, that i conclude that my leaving pre-puberty changed my posting so that i no more reminded The Richard of Mazz of a Graystone in my postings. (2) Tuesday was Deflation, so today its Inflation if the price of gold is higher today than 2 days ago? Yes if you take CNN as speaking the truth(a.k.a. accurate). Tuesday of this week, May 15 2001cnn.com LOU DOBBS MONEYLINE Dow Falls... Nasdaq Rises... Fed Cuts Interest Rates 0.5 Percent ... the Fed is being aggressive because it can be. Inflation is tame. In fact, deflation is the rule in commodities: gold prices down 7 percent in the past 16 months; copper, down 12 percent; huge declines in steel and coffee prices...
