yeah, dispassionate might not be my exact word
but I do believe that nobody should buy a stock because I like it, or someone else likes it
do some research, read some background analysis
get convinced
use clowns like MiniWatt as a contrarian
be careful of believing the mainstream press
and by all means be watchful of discernable vested interests
they are usually not in your best interest
the financial world has a tremendous stake in the system

but seriously, it will get tough to separate the higher gear of gold's rise from attached emotion that is sure to follow it
much like a set of groupies girls trying to snag a toss from a rock band "artist" sporting greasy hair and a nose ring

I like to be reminded of nearterm charts, longterm charts, and Elliott Waves
the fascinating big waves to me now are two:
Kondratieff's 70-yr cycle calls for BigAss BadTimes in next few years
2nd year Presidential cycle calls for "down hard" autumn for stocks

very few exceptions for Prez2nd cycle
and five previous full cycles for Kondratieff
who was a Russian economist and earned a Stalin bullet

I am sorry for getting emotional with Volt
he irks me to no end with his ignorance and arrogance
anything he doesnt understand is unimportant
that is your clue of being a dangerous influence
"we will be faaahn" is a last warning

Volt was a friend, a cool guy
but I listened to him too many times, almost fatally so
much is my responsibility, but I want to shut his ass down from influencing me and anyone who wishes to benefit from any serious deep analytic thought
which is what I attempt to do

I have been accused of arrogance many times
and JazzCat might be right about my being obnoxious
but I share with you my analysis and 100's of hours of reading, pondering, analyzing, and discussing with real smart friends
so please pardon me for being an asshole part of the time
I just hope it aint more than 15%, my self-imposed limit
