Not sure this has been posted here or not, but this is a nice video clip on Great Basin.

you might want to send an email to Jim Puplava
at www.financialsense.com
he responds, or his wife Mary does
I once wrote him and got a reply last autumn
he has incredibly deep data resources

my most recent source of semi-hard info was Duncan's interview regarding his Dollar Crisis book
he quoted a $200 billion figure on recent Japan/China GSE investments
he claimed Asians had no idea what they were buying, which would make for a more sudden contraction once they awaken to the risks

heck, I still recall with raised brow, head shaking, but no surprise that 70% of Americans sampled were unaware that their bond funds could lose money if and when rates rise

no shortage of financial illiteracy in this country, but what do you expect with a nationwide 2-yr highschool math requirement ???

russwinter, from the yahoo site on FRE...<<Others emphasized that the implicit government guarantee for the agencies is expected to remain intact, making the current upheaval surrounding Freddie Mac a potential opportunity to buy its paper.>> Just what "implicit government guarantee"?

My understanding that both FNM & FRE were "government charted" and although most people "think" there is a government guarantee, in fact, there is not. Although I think we know that Greenspud will manufacture some type of bailout...still at a cost to stockholders.

Opinion?
