Ratty, that was a great post. Thank you. Very well researched and reasoned. My favorite paragraph was the last one: FALSE SIGNALS ON USGOVT BILLBOARDS: My considered sustained analysis has that almost every single USGovt statistic is a lie, an intentional deception. Orwellian Stat Lab methods include hedonic adjustments for quality improvements, deletions in Q3 under political motives and for reasons pertaining to cost of living adjustments, distortive seasonal adjustments, omissions in inflation indexes, and chain weighting. Advanced deceptive techniques have contributed to ruin each and every statistic disseminated like sheer propaganda from the USGovt. Let me repeat. Most major economic statistics are lies, and thus serve as false signals. They appear on grand billboards as pernicious advertisements. Maybe we should accept these signals, since foreign bond buyers and domestic investors are supposed do. My opinion is that official statistics should be slapped with fines for human indecency, and insult to intelligence. Namaste! Jim

I almost pulled the trigger on buying some durban deep right before it cratered. I'm going to stick with cef and nem and not take my chances on the kinkyer gold stocks.

I'm in agreement with your guru. After decades of frustration, I think the gold bugs time is finally here. I see gold appreciating in a market unsure of it's reserve currency, or even what currency it wants for a reserve currency. I certainly don't see gold going down along with the dollar. I see them heading opposite directions. I try to screen out gold's daily fluctuations and just pay attention to the uptrend. Do we still have gold in Ft. Knox, or have we sold it all?
