Phil > Did you partake of the Feast of the Goldbugs?

Now you are teasing me, but my skin is thick. But, in response to your question the answer is "no". The reason is I'm not a trader. And, why am I not a trader? The answer should be obvious --- my short-term assessment of the market is awful!

> Wasn't what it was advertised to be

That's true. The markets are not impressed that "Saddam's" capture has changed anything. In fact, POG and USD closed at levels which prevailed before the capture was announced.

> I actually think fasting is good for you

Indeed, it is. I wonder if you know that in experiments done on rats to determine longevity, partial starvation was the most effective means that could be found to prolong life.
