Hi Tim. That's cute....and very dangerous What was the dangerous part? Gotta admit I thought it was kind of funny. LOL! He had a <VBG> after it too. It's supposed to make you smile. It seems there are a lot of gold bugs who get so offended if someone points out there might be a little bit of hype built into those predictions. How much different are they from the other guru's like Gilder, Hager, Navelier and all the others. All of their stuff sounded like it could not possibly be wrong. It all made perfect sense. Well a few years removed and you can see what a load of crap it's been. Hype built upon a hill of assumptions. Slider is at least bringing a voice of reason as to why things may not go as perfectly as we keep reading on those Golden Hype websites. All of the hype and assumptions are usually built upon a house of cards. It all sounds like common sense. Sounds very rational. But how often does it work out so perfectly. Also, while we are on the topic of mantras here's a good one I read the other day: "There are two equalizers in life, two things that make everything perfect. One is laughter, and I forget the other." I'm not sure the other one is hype... <vbg> Hype seems a lot more dangerous than laughter. -Clapper
