no, just growing entertainment value to see how black is presented as white, up as down, in as out, wrong as right, elephant as a whale :0) Well, it's amazing. It hasn't come unglued yet. It's years overdue. Years to go perhaps. The smoke and mirrors approach has served them well Jay. C

"paper as money" I am just a computer geek and need your financial experience to make me understand why so many people are saying BUY GOLD. prb.org Looking at the graph above - there are still a lot of spear chuckers on the planet who are not playing the IPOD you and coconut have fun with - YET. They chuck spears and eat rats for REAL to have something to do, they have not found the pleasure of blowing up people in UNREAL deathmatch like you General - not YET. But they will, why do all that hard REAL work to chuck spears or hunt for fun when you can get VIrtual Deer Hunter and shoot lots of deers in the MATRIX. geocities.com This game here I sold a ton of in south georgia - the rednecks quit going hunting in the woods and fired up that darn cumputer. They will BBQ your ass like MOLASSES, and open a can O whoopass on ya boy! Virtual NASCAR was big with the hunters too - who are now on the matrix. I had redneck wives come in a slam computers down in my store saying I ruined thier marriage giving thier husband VIRTUAL deep sea fishing - he rather play on that darn PUTER than give her some DICK. I had redneck guys come in and smash computers in my store saying that Darn AOL messenger done got 5 guys on there banging his wife when they got the satellite hookup out in the woods. She left him, took the dog and the car and he got to sit home and read her chat logs professing how his pecker was too small and she loved the size of the new guy. As those people come into the MATRIX with me and you and Neo and Morpheus and want to TRADE goods - virtual or real - lets say ebay India for instance indiantelevision.com BANGALORE: Online marketplace eBay India, formerly Baazee.com, has announced its first global transation since its recent launch. Dr. Vineet Srinivasan, Illusions India, a dentist with a passion for ecommerce sold a diamond solitaire to Mark Baugh from Dallas, Texas in USA, a media release says. Avnish Bajaj, Country Manager, eBay India was present on the occasion to felicitate the first Indian seller who traded internationally Did they use GOLD to do the transaction or PAYPAL and ELECTRONIC cash? Explain to me General Chen - when we have all those poor people with thier 50 dollar wifi laptops csmonitor.com come into the GLOBAL EBAY and Sony Everquest and Unreal over the next 5 years - what monetary transaction unit are they going to TRADE goods in? GOLD? I think not, US CURRENCY? Maybe not - but something - I live in the matrix with NEO - gold has ZERO use to me - but if you cut my power - I can't blow you up in mega death online game - why why why do people spend so much thought time on GOLD - it is a RELIC to be traded in virtual economies of neverwinter nights. Hell even in that game I don't want gold, I want EXCALIBUR +5 SOUL SUCKER - are you fighting for gold in your megadeath GAME? Or do you want the armor +50 and BFG3000? (big fuggn gun) Why are so many people here that use so much tech so focused on an old RELIC when the digital economy is the future - gold just doesn't factor into that from what I see. I watched a lot of star trek, all the branches - a ton of Dr. Who - lots of Battle of the PLanets cartoons even - I never saw GOLD in those shows - what am I missing - so many smart finance MBA's say BUY GOLD like these guys andyfoulds.co.uk - I don't get it - have I been coding Python and C++ scripts for so long I have not learned the correct brainwashing that only gold has value when all I want to do is eat, sleep, blow you up in MEGADEATH match and of course BANG BANG BANG! Gold - fug it. ebaumsworld.com

4/30 Podcast of what was, what is, and what will be By Jim Puplava netcastdaily.com Download into your IPOD. netcastdaily.com Some quotes from the 1hr audio - More money trades in the currency markets each week than the entire GDP. You can move a billion of dollars from NY to tokyo easier than move a truckload of lettuce from california to NY. If stock fits a volatility or beta - it doesn't matter what they make or what they do. They are starting to securitize loans at some major bank because they don't want it. Trying to dump it to dummies on wall street. JP morgan, Chase, Citi have 90 trillion in derivatives on 200 billion on the balance sheet.
