UBS Warburg lifts forecasts for gold markets.ft.com btw, I think the "Says Law" link in the previous message is very cool. I know it to be true in the semis where normal market capitalistic forces are at work. The subject matter seems plain enough to me, and apolitical. That is ..its not designed for bias to any segment of society, but applies to everyone.

>> I still think you are on the wrong track with this tariff idea << fair enough. just be aware, free trade leads to open borders and mass immigration. free trade is anti-family. free trade is unpatriotic. free trade leads to global governance. free trade hastens the social revolution and leads to socialism and marxism, and tyranny. free trade is often unconstitutional. free trade is unamerican. free trade destroyed the british empire. >> In the case of illegal or outright immoral economic activity, I possibly would change my view << we live in an immoral society. witness enron. in a perfect world corporations would be moral and patriotic and do what's best for the country. of course they don't. they are cold, heartless, and beholden only to their own greed. that is why the founders believed the congress should regulate commerce and put it in the constitution. "The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain." --Thomas Jefferson to Larkin Smith, 1809 "Merchants have no country...The mere ground they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains." --Thomas Jefferson >> Big business does not seem to be helping the average world citizen in many circumstances << true, although my primary loyalty is to my fellow compatriots here in america. it just so happens that free trade is bad for everyone except the cultural elites, politicians, bankers and economists who run the country from behind the scenes. free trade allows them greater profits and therefore greater control.
