Slider, one last post for you, and that is it. I incorrectly singled you out a tad (or more) and didn't really mean to. I apologize to you for that. I did say it has been nice, and it has, and that did include you. I've been renovating my house lately, putting in some long hours, and mspolar says I've had a saw up my ass all week. Ouch, it irritates you know. I just want to move on. I'm not expanding my horizons here anymore, and one reason is there is a little too much pissing in the fire, and it gets to me at times. I have some ideas and things I want to do on my own, programming and that sort of thing. Tired of using other stuff, when I have the ability to generate my own. Can't get it put together if I'm doinking around here worrying about who sold what when and who said what and well hells bells you get the point. I'll be around, just off the air mostly and I won't be here when I'm around, if that makes any sense. I always was a restless sort and like to move on. That is why I'm here in AK. It still isn't what I am looking for, problem is there isn't much left on earth to discover anymore. Wish I'd have been born a couple hundred years back. You and many others here have helped me learn and grow a lot, and I really do appreciate it. I just want to get gray somewhere else for a while, if that makes any sense. Cianora to you to and good luck to all.

Slider your guesses are as good as the next.... ....based in experience, certainly, expressed better and certainly offered with more self assurance than most....Of course, until they happen doesn't make them any more right than anybody else's.. Thanks for offering the alternative views. Please remind us lest we forget, which come to pass. So we have you essentially out of miners and energy here with 5-10% in miner long calls (pretty big spread there. for an account your size..how much is it?? ) Which expirations and strikes do you find to be most efficient? ... Which miners do you most like to use when judiciously out of this sector to participate in the event of a surprise Nazdaqi type blow off..... And you have the HUI coming back to 95... Pretty simple, compact - ready for action, I can remember that….

<<<I "AINT" giving it back... i can understand trading in and out for profits but when you say you ain't giving it back, in a sense aren't you then potentially giving it back by holding fiat money that may well devalue over time ? obviously the us money supply is increasing at a frightening rate, and if things go the wrong way in the middle east (no guarantee they won't) who knows, maybe we see 50 dollar oil...marc faber in barrons predicts oil to go up big time long term...you wanna be holding greenbacks through this ?

"The Mortgage Refi Boom is heading for a Bust... lots of money made there... the next "real world" play is in rental properties in low property value markets ...like Rockford Il, Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, South Bend In, Kalamazoo, Gr Rapids Mi etc... where $35-$60K will buy a 2 story 3-4 Bedroom/2 bath older/sound home... with a $300-$450 mortgage payments & $600-$800 rent levels... nice spreads/cash flow in an appreciating asset... and there aint no RE Buble in these markets in these price ranges... working people will always need affordable housing... and the spreads have NEVER been better in the history of the RE market for Rental property." Thanks for the old info. That's exactly what I've been working on for two years... as a landlord. Tim
