Gold stocks can be considered for patient accumulation. ... good move up in gold is a year away. The U.S. dollar must move down for gold to move up. ok, yes and no. My problem with the above has to do with my cynicism, specifically that market forces like Supply & Demand are manipulated by evil & mismanaged human hands. For sure Bob would say that what I see as intergalactic interference is accepted as natural since no one has been found guilty and sent to jail. Actually its ron-moon who first proclaimed that governments do good because without them we private citizens would float away into space. Guess its another chicken-egg question, as can a government be created from already floating in space private peoples, or...[babble] ok, sorry my babble'ation Now, as for the US Dollar needing to fall... or the NasQuack and/or Dow to collapse I wonder if those usa politicians really are the source the start where events will be initiated. Guess i'm saying that rather than look/watch market forces local and over seas to see trends, that maybe the beginning of what will happen is already written on the walls of the rooms in the Washington D.C. White House Congress & Senate. By this I mean, using my overflowing cynicism, the usa prez is a Republician, and their Job # 1 is to present the Democratics as "poor choice" to vote for in next elections. Not a question or a task to present themselves as good & correct, but only in comparision the Rep. are better than Dem. ok, so knowing that the usa government can Move & Shake-up its own and the remaining world's economies, and the Rep party knows that an early crash/depression can be shown to have its seeds of destruction in the 8 years of clinSin Administration, and also allowing the bush Reps 3 years to make bad less bad, then i will look for stuff in the usa politician Rep arena to let occure the collapse of the usa economy in the next 5 months. Seems that Alan Fed Greenspan is doing his Rep part to add more rot to the money supply. What will trip the wire to me is a better question than to ask what will cause the house of cards to fall. My opinion is that the house of cards have enough greed and dung applied to the walls to keep it stable for a couple more years. But just maybe those nations overseas in Euro Land and Asia and my geography is not up to snuff to know, but just maybe they will decide like I have heard mentioned in the le cafe of tooting bill that just maybe they will take matters into their own hands and trip a wire and set off a bobby trap explosion that will harm them less than if a house of cards falls on them. dollar falls nasdaq/dow falls after the fact after the future is decided by politicians & Powers that Be not market forces as market forces will react, not act to cause a reaction doug
