lurqer: Good find from Morgan Stanley...thnx for posting it -- its one of their more bearish reports though...this passage caught my attention...

<<...If I am wrong in making the assumption that the US economy double-dips, then what we are witnessing could indeed be the beginning of a structural correction, I concede. Notwithstanding this possibility, I continue to believe that there are few reasons to expect a recovery in capex. Corporate de-leveraging and balance-sheet cleanup may have indeed been taking place. However, this does not mean that the money saved will be spent. Japanese corporates have relatively healthy cash positions precisely because they have stopped investing and dis-saving like they did in the 1980s. The irony here is that if the US corporates "do the right thing" in shrinking their balance sheets, I believe the US economy will likely double-dip...>>

reply from Sinclair to a silly email two weeks ago
his reply:
Pains in the ASS is so right. They are driving me nuts.
Jim


my message to him:

Big Jim,
I am a longterm stalwart, unshakeable in dedication
holding long all thru the summer and autumn except for some dabbling out
then back in

you are dealing with a casino gambler mentality
their hordes contribute to the precmetal sector volatility

give them HELL, they are a pain in the ass
and a symptom is a totally effed up society of investors

I continue to hold a few gold miners, unhedged, with great leverage
they are regarded as "perpetual warrants on the gold price"
that puts me in the minority of your email nitpickers

do yourself a favor, and simply delete their worrywart messages !!!

/ Little Jim
