Gold has been tracking pretty well lately with CPI minus 30 year, with a 32 week lag... and had been tracking pretty well with a repo based formula before that: nowandfutures.com

GM - So, any guesses on how much longer this farce that they're profitable continues? What a joke - "excluding one-time charges totaling $4.33 billion, GM earned $1.2 billion, or $2.03 a share." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Gimme a break. Does anyone honestly think GM is able to turn a profit at ANY level of expenses? Sure, stuff enough expenses into the one-time charge category and you can make up any number you want. How much of that "one-time charge" was labor that went into making the cars they just sold? Also, where in the world are they coming up with revenue growth given their portfolio and the price of gasoline? I was expecting a sell-the-news response on this report. Sorry to see it didn't come about. BC
