A moment of silence for the Taser shorts ROFL. How about a moment of silence for me? My wife just found out what happened today. (Remember, I hear about it every day since her son told me to buy it at pre-split $4.) <g/ng>

Date: Tue Apr 06 2004 16:36 trotsky (@TASR) ID#377387: Copyright © 2002 trotsky/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved has the poster child of the echo bubble made a blow-off top today? it sure looks that way...a semi-ugly candle on HUGE volume ( 1.5 times the entire issued share capital was traded today ALONE ) , resulting in a valuation reminiscent of the worst internut bubble excesses. it's a successful company, but it's just selling electroshockers - BFD, as they say. their web site promises it's an unsurpassed example of hi-tech innoation, but it strikes me as a truly low-barrier-to-entry business, one that probably already has scores of competitors lining up who also want to feed on the bubble trough. if any proof was needed that the mania hasn't truly died just yet, this stock is it. as an aside, the mere fact that the mania remains alive and well all but guarantees the bear's comeback will be of the take-no-prisoners kind. this is a caveat for gold share investors as well.

All rights reserved you are right in the sense that this IS the bullish case for gold - it may be fixing to surprise everyone. if so, then maybe the weak performance of the gold stocks is just a fake-out to shake off excess bull riders, so to speak. but the fact remains that this presupposes a change of character in the market - namely that the gold shares aren't a leading indicator anymore. that's a big assumption at this stage. however, i'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt as long as the February lows in XAU/HUI hold...and i'll complain anyway.

Ashcroft seeks to ban porn the following post from Hochien on the fool =============================================== baltimoresun.com Boy. Great. Just great. Now we are going to squirt away millions of dollars and resources that COULD be used to catch terrorists or arrest fraud artists, rapists, murderers....to go after porn. Even soft core porn. My God, is Ashcroft insane. Totally, completely, insane. Now, I of course expect the right-wingers to support the president here. I mean, we are SO threatened by internet porn! Forget the fact that a family member of mine recently discovered an interstate fraud ring (they tried to scam him, and he caught on). He contacted the FBI and was told "if we went after every $5,000 fraud case, we wouldn't get anything done." No one in law enforcement is interested. But BY GOD, if they had tried to sell him a picture of Janet Jackson, or God Fobid, a bong.....man oh man, Ashcroft woulda sent the SWAT teams in! How repulsive and repressed this "administration" is! How stupid and wasteful! I wonder if they will go after Clarence Thomas for HIS porno collection? Bush is the worst leader in the history of the world.

All hell is breaking loose in Iraq At Least 12 Marines Killed as U.S. Compound in Ramadi Charged "This is not like any other firefight we've seen so far," military sources in Iraq said. "There are bullets flying all over the place." A U.S. official in Washington said all American officials in Iraq, including those working for the Coalition Provisional Authority (search), have been told since Monday to remain inside their compounds due to security worries. foxnews.com
