Richard, You know i have no insight into gold or other commodies markets, and only when i get another gold tooth crown does the actual purchase by me of physical gold become an issue :o) "... feel like "they" will make a strike at gold price tonite / tomorrow?" ok, i'm clueless here is the "they" the good guys or the bad guys or just those smart guys that continue to pick up cheap physical gold from what seems to be the ever getting smaller storage of the American people :o( Funny in a very sad way how folks on this thread can not grasp the mechanics of the terror element that can control large numbers of people. For example that many times spoken truth that the usa economy has been carried and supported by the continuation of the American consumer to exchange the ever increasing dumping of paper money onto them into the purchase of goods and services without any clue or hint of the absolute laws of what is money saying that when too much money is pumped into an economy that is decreasing, that the end result is a huge reduction in the value of the currency. Unless i'm wrong in that after 9/11 the amount of goods and services created in America has increased based on an increased demand, which in that mode requires an increase in the money supply so that the relationship of America's worth to its dollar supply continues to be in balance. ya'up, lost focus again i didie "... the mechanics of the terror element that can control large numbers of people." ok, back to the bio terro thread on America where people speak that last week thousands of people got very sick with the flu and other ways that are common place and happen each week year in and year out. ok, add the usa consumer's buying goods and services has been keeping the usa economy from falling into recession/depression ok, imagine if the usa consumer continued on the current path taken after 9/11 in that they slowed down their consumption and spending all those newly printer dollars actually imagine if it increased in the negative way, usa consumers made larger their reduction of spending, causing that domino effect that companies sell less, layoff more, fire more people, and these people buy next to nothing, causing .... on and on and this would remove that consumer spending supporting the usa economy into a free fall'ing usa economy ok, now lets tie in 100 people last week died from the flu, and that caused no notice in people buying pattern, but the 2 deaths of antract last week caused x1,000 the effect, as in people keep away from outdoor's places where the next terror attack could happen, but unlikely as in less than that chance to be hit by a falling flying pig ok, and rather than explain that, lets just accept it as a condition that happens, and now imagine terrorist placing air born antract into the air of three shopping malls, and next week between ten and a small one hundred people get sick, compared to thousands that get sick in the usa every week. ok, now terror horror'ifies folks out of proportion to the actual results and millions of usa consumers stop shopping malls. The usa economy will crash. The above 3 shopping malls out of 30,000 malls in the usa causes 50% of usa population to stay away from the other 29,997. t'is the way terror works no need for the logic just need to accept it and yes deal with it but it will be too late to deal with it now as in fix correct prevent it as that required the many years just passed on by as the usa government politicians didn't do their required jobs but only stuff to get re-elected and so we will have but no choice but accept the hurt & pain and once the damage is contained then work for recovery and prevention ak
