Apropos investorhub.com, I went to have a look and found it up for sale so I don't think too many from SI will be going there! Someone brought your post to my attention on iHub and asked me to clarify. I was scratching my head initially, trying to figure out what gave you that impression, but I quickly found out what's going on. First, it's true. Investorhub.com is for sale. However, Investorshub.com most certainly isn't. Looks like investor(no "s")hub.com is someone camping out on a domain name in hopes of making a buck. They've been camped out on it since 1999. Wouldn't mind having that domain name safely tucked away with a redirect, but I refuse to buy domain names from squatters. I've successfully waited for them to let the name expire before. Investorshub.com is alive, kicking, and not for sale.

Hi Searle, Before I had a chance to reply to you I noticed Bob Zumbrunnen sent you a note regarding investors.com. Don't get me wrong, I do like the SI, especially this thread, even if it has outlived its name, long time ago. The quality of people, the manner of the discussion and the non-confrontational opinions make it a welcome place to visit, not to mention the wealth of information, which can be used or rejected without repercussions. Thanks for your invitation to join in, I will eventually as time permits, as I did at times in the past. As with our computers, the time to back-up is when all is well, so that's where I am coming from. Sadly, there are just too many comments regarding the problems at SI, as we well know where there is smoke, usually fire can't be far behind. Again, I would feel at loss at least for awhile not finding my favoured sites one morning, suddenly. My comment in regards of the ever expanding/balooning trade deficit of the US, is a reminder of the 1970sh exponential increase of the money supply. I do remember seeing chart after chart of the unsustainable climb of money supply, said to lead to the demise of the financial system, by the gurus from the very influential 'Bank Credit Analyst'. Somehow, that problem has disappeared, others came to forth, as we speak there are many, but somehow the system survives. If one focuses only to the present problems, easy to loose sight of the future. Going back to the subject of this thread, the correction should almost ran its course, hoping for new highs before long. The fly in the ointment is the oversold US market, mind you, both the market and the Gold can advance as some of the best moves happened in those times. Alex
