JMan, no problemo... keep privacy... good to hear you

two greatest transfers of wealth:
1. WW2 veteran family wealth willed to next generation
2. Naz bubble of 2000 transferred to blueblood bondholders

I hear you on foreign policy stupidity
as long as American leaders are voted into office for their camera appeal, speaking ability, inspiration ability, campaign fundraising, control of spin, and good looks, we are in deep trouble

Kennedy and Reagan changed it all
very little ability, tons of appeal

you sound like you have family in Israel
I have absolute biblical faith that Israel will survive
but I do expect the battle to focus soon on Jerusalem
as is prophesied
and I do expect Islamic Crazies to sack Rome's Vatican someday

as you said this morning, war is costly
the deficit alone will push interest rates back up
that makes four fundamental reasons for inflation
actually, I think fed deficits will cause stagnation
but it will push up rates
and that will usher myriad savvies into gold/silver

hey, big dude, silver is a CH away from breaking out
Commitment of Traders is showing declines in gold futures open interest
this is the sign of imminent bustout
the world tension only feeds into gold/silver veins

take it easy, and dont get too much sun
your hand on the shoulder is an inspiration
maybe that is just perspiration
whatever, good to have you dropping by

as for VoltMan, dunno
he has no wisdom to share
either because he has no wisdom, or because he will not share it

he taught me something important
look to the big events on the horizon
they are return of big deficits, rising rates, sliding dollar, onset of inflation, trade deficits coming home

there's silver in them thar hills!!!

JMan, the dollar has begun to slide backwards
a penny for your thoughts of the USdollar
I refer to our currency ridden by cancer

make that a dime, not a silver dime
rather, one of those worthless 10-cent shiny tokens

have you heard that Treasury is to make colored bills?
for real, I wouldnt lie to Uncle JMan... subtle color tones
starting to sound like Monopoly Money

I marvel at the current treatment of our cancerous system
the shorterm cure is more liquidity
each crisis is met with treatment drawing from the same poison well that caused the cancer:
INSANELY EXCESSIVE MONETARY EXPANSION

here is a nice article discussing the dollar and other things
like S&P, TBonds, CRB, gold, etc
the US$ is well off its recent highs
I suspect it will hold soon, then fall apart later this year

gold-eagle.com

here is a nice comparison of US$ versus major currencies
it is losing ground against them all, except pitiful Can$

gold-eagle.com

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
thanks, Jim
