But you should have noticed that ec will at times take up the role of "i did or doing or have done, a dummy" as one of those needed Steps towards, but never reaching, Recovery. . Surely your progress would advance in the proper direction if you took a few steps backwards by your admission to what all see as you pointing 180 degrees from your intended target. Yes, everyone "knows" when you babble eventhought you do steady yourself and talk in that monotone or your "or" :o) . Lets, really you, start over here, and pleeeeeeease lets forget that GATA stuff i post, as it is just your excuse not to reply to my post. - meaning you are really what? able to - . ok, once again, and another pleeeeease, let Zeev take care of himself eventhought his searching Si for his name mentioned has been broken long time now and he needs a little bird to sing into his ear that yes his ear is itching because someone is talking about him where he does not go(this GPM thread.) . so, or... try again to comment on my thoughts sandwhich include my mention of GATA. . also, If it would help or give you safety or confidence, then please reply standing up so you need not worry about me and what you term "attacking chair legs." . [Start (or) Take 2] - a shift in the balance of power a.k.a. he who holds golds... . Even Zeev Hed, who holds no physical gold, has expressed his opinion that Central Banks identified by GATA as being without their gold reserves either from a selling or situation that the physical gold has been removed from their vaults, on loan or lease, and now exist in form that those whom have the responsibility to return this physical to Central Banks cannot do so without a buying panic on the open markets. . Where has all that physical gold gone is really not important unless one can prove-up that a GATA type situation existed these past 5-10-20 years where the Suppy-Demand equation has resulted in a supply to always in a quick and easy manner satisfy the demand so that its price remained well under $290. . Zeev states that only a small fraction of Central Banks reserves would have been needed if the just prior asked about situation occured. If true, then gold's price should have returned under $290 these past weeks and months based on Central Banks to keep anything of real value out of the arena where money exist. . But lets see, we are told not to worry about a corrupted US dollar because the fiat currencies of other nations are more corrupted. Well, yes if true, but no if currencies exist backed by gold, and if true the price of gold will exceed $10,000.00 an ounce - just for starters - doug
