Hi Snowshoe, <<So here's my basic question: Given this hugely complicated gold derivative problem that directly involves a lot of major governments, why do you think they'll lose and you'll win?>> I do not think I will win. I merely suspect it. I add slowly, as the governments lose, and they are losing, starting at the Argentine periphery, progressing to the NYSE epi-center. Message 14861804 "As George Soros had said in 1998 right before the massive HK market intervention, "this time it is on the periphery, next time the center"." <<If they need the price of gold to stay down for 24 years until the hedges are unwound, wouldn't it make more sense for us to invest in something else?>> THEY also needed Nasdaq, DJIA and SnP to stay up, and boot up Nikkei, along with USD, over JYen ... etc. They need a lot of things to happen, concurrently, even while trying to dance the WAT-WOT-whatnot choreographed steps, walk and chew gum, and talk out of both sides of their face, keep the retainer in place and not sht in their pants while sneezing. Folks do not get what they want, always. Message 16932913 "... while I was younger still, I had a most strange experience that may relate to all the thread comments on Mr. Bush’s recent encounter with the carpet. I was at the time suffering from mild food poisoning. I had my dental retainer firmly lodged in my mouth. I was taking a vicious pss. I felt a sneeze coming on. My brain went into parallel processing mode in response, and I tried to suppress the sneeze even as I pushed my tongue against the retainer to prevent it from dislodging into the toilet should I fail to suppress the sneeze. I thought I had the entire spectrum of possibilities covered, tongue in cheek, as it were. Strangely, the sequence of events resulted in a twisted tongue muscle (very painful), dental retainer dislodged into the toilet (very yucky), and other messy happenings you can well imagine, requiring a change of clothing and copious application of the household product Mr. Clean. No pretzel was involved, as far as I recall" They get what they deserve, sometimes. <<Heck, back in the thirties they confiscated most of the U.S. gold.>> Stop talking dirty! YES! Should this day happen again, I will take a month-long holiday in Bora Bora, at the best hotel, in a water lodge, have breakfast in bed every day, while a live quartet plays outside on the balcony, and appreciate the true nature of the universe and all its fractal-scaled constructs. Chugs, Jay
