Yes i imagine that those like gold_tutor Claude Russ Liz and even macros since he is much more than he is etting us know :o) will have made that pot of gold at rainbows end and for fun & what-the-heck lets trade this mature golden bull until it drops. . So yes, at that soon to be place in this gold cycle those like the above mentioned will trade shares for sport rather than for the pay the rent and buy the big boat money. . No question o49r's writing style is many levels above most all, and yes it is very very rewarding to read such when it delivers both the facts and a style that makes it alive with interest to reflect a person very much into self awareness of high ability. . For sure at this point here on Si exist many including myself that will receive her thoughts as farts, but really we all know that the stink is a shield & defense she developed long ago before we as youth realized that smarts in others signaled a thread to those with less. . But to cut short this babble let me say that her newsletter, if she took your post to heart, would be subscribed to both for trading advice and story telling. I'am sure once gold reaches high price levels and she realizes that she has "too much" money since her children will most likely have much left over and simply transfer it to their children, that she will back off a little from a full force forward to mine physical gold and simple hire people to mine her mines as she reflects back in years using that newsletter to write in part a bio of herself. Most likely a fiction novel would appear as herself a woman in 1849 California. . Bob Johnson could help her research needed history facts. d:oug
