Death spiral... No share price recovery is possible now; nobody I know has any investable cash on the sideline. Brokerage accounts are being closed out one by one, as the balances are too small to cover the maintenance fees. Tons of people are out looking for work. Everywhere I turn I see people begging for money -- city services, teachers, state governments, health care. College endowments and pension funds are suffering the same fate. Buildings are sitting empty all around here. Airline schedules continue being cut back. Rush hour traffic is 65 mph now on 101. Yes, I'm finally thinking GOLD is the place to be. Risk of catastrophe is reaching the inevitable stage. As people have less and less to lose, rash actions become more likely, and disaster becomes self- fulfilling. It's not the fall of Western Civilization, but the world is not going to be much fun for our children. LSI's fate looks precarious to me. First week of May is the usual time for shareholder meeting. I was out of the country during last year's, but hope to be around this time to hear face to face how management plans to negotiate the remaining run-out. Wouldn't surprise me now if it's the final shareholder meeting.
