Little Joe <<5. It has to soon become apparent to the investing public that the government intends to print its way out of this mess.>>> The "investing Public", is still sitting on the fence and saying they are in for the long haul! I am talking daily with friends and neighbors, warning them, bleeding with them to put at least 10% into Goldfunds as a hedge, they still look at me like I am from the moon! It is utterly unbelievable to me,but the so called investing public, having most of there money in 401 etc. still believes in the fairy tale of a strong United States. Looks to me United they will fall! It breaks my heart to see the financial disaster of some of my closest friends and I can't help them!

Little Joe -- I'll comment on No.#3 by linking you to what Marcos had to say the other day on timing within the scope of seasonality. It's the best reason I can think of besides the usual stuff from "the four horseman." -- be sure to check out all the links within that post, a must read!!! investorshub.com Your comments about the CRB are interesting from a technical standpoint-- to add to my own confusion, IMHO, the fuel for this latest rally is the double top pattern in the $WTIC chart: stockcharts.com[h,a]dblaynay[dc][pd20,2!f][iuh14,3!le12,26,9] and because of the seasonality issue, we may finally see oil and gold move in opposite directions from the start of the second quarter. I'm also speculating that we'll finally see gold outperform other commodities, believe it or not it's been a laggard. 2002: cocoa -- 70% crude oil -- 53% soybeans -- 38% gold -- 26% The last point you made about gauging investor sentiment from these boards is about right. There’s probably no point in me reminding you that the people that still chat about stocks are the very people that can trade profitably in a bear market. You have to look elsewhere-- because we're not by any stretch of the imagination "average.” Regards, Frank P.
