To: Al Collard who wrote (8922 ) 7/31/2002 8:57:56 AM From: Chuca Marsh Respond to of 11802 My wife stoppped at a farm( 20 yrs ago) as we had started a farm for the kiddos. What she saw of interest was a painted rock ( is this where our rock interest started/) It was in the shape of a PUMPKIN an it ws painted like a pumpkin. It looked like a PUMPKIN. So we stopped at the side and talked, goty a tour of the back barnyard. They had no pigs, no sheep or lambs but goats/ babies and a full flock with a Dog House TYING way in back with a path fensed in tightly ( as goats we soon learned climbed all over ) and we saw the dames and the kids; and then came closer to the MALE - The BUCK. I have never eaten intentional goat chesse since, the smell was terrible of the male buck. And this was a pigmy goat flock. Yeah after a while some of the Kiddos in our family went over and purchased a baby pigmy goat female for their 4H fair showings. That didn't stink up our farm, but once on an early morning I went out to look at the top level of the barn with that hay bale door on top with the baa'ing and the scene as the goat had some how got upstairs and was eating (all-free choice) the hay as she looked out the top of the barn looking down and baa'ing all the while as if to say, I don't stink but I do. Chucka CLOSE THE BARN DOORS! Just like stocks and financings LOL MY HEART to...MY NOSE TO...I think the family learned about service to all but when the BUCK smells bad one has to stay away until the ...SPRING when the product is for sale without the stink...I guess I have learned a lesson now, from GOLDCORP to JABA lol. The issue of production is paramount rather than anything else, wish I had upped in G rather than J. But that is OK, it is the spring next year that is the real issue on both. Just being in the top floor of the barn counts, so what; pricing and hay bales are relative this year...I am investing for next years CROP of OFFSPRING ( and so I don't have to smell the BUCK all SUMMER ) Happy Halloween maybe? That is a unfaithfull celebration some say as I tend to agree to now. Horror Movies don't see me there, they smell bad to me. Like the BUCK, like the FINANCINGs that are starting to tick me off on all the JUNIORS and some of the majors, say away from weird financings and just ISSUE he product or sell it at THE HIGH rather than the low - G coulda made 10% tp 15-20 % more earnings this year and J coulda said something rather than ....these 2 finacings issues. But the baby goats are cute I here BUT THEY never had a fense that could KEEP THEM in or not being walking ON TOP OF EVEN as I have seen. Why do I think of goats when I think of my metals investments? Junior or Major both are off the TOP FLOOR of barn highs. Yaeh, you talk barnyards and I think of a male goat smell. And our OFF THE TOP favorites LOL
