Roe, thanks.

Many of us are on the same wavelength here re gold, and that is our main area of current emphasis. Some of us are piddling with other stuff, but in minor quantities.

The thing about gold that bothers me just a little is, "Are we on this board as a consensus that smart?" Guess we will find out eh?

On the positive side it appears to me that maybe others on SI and elsewhere are complacent gold. I've PM'ed with a few and offhand it appears more are negative than positive.

The comm shorts are also interesting. I see two possibilities. A smack down here that will be brief, or they are going to get on the wrong side of this train and stay on the wrong side. I'm thinking the possibility for the latter is more than we might think. Bad elements of human nature caused this bubble, and many of the ensuing problems such as WCOM, ENRON, etc. I can foresee the possibility of human nature causing some derivative meltdowns in gold, just as many on SDII have speculated.

Well, out to garage to play with some new toys for a spell.

RIC is indeed a puzzler.

I'm going to wait a couple more weeks for a pop of some kind if gold moves, but if it doesn't happen I'll unload it.

Prefer to trade stuff that is a little more predictable, like GG. Besides, I've spread my money too thin over too many juniors and I'm losing track of them. Getting rid of RIC would mean one less to worry about.
