Slider: Why the focus on commodity permabulls while you ignore the FAR LARGER group of stock and bond permabulls? There are hundreds of stock and bond permabulls for every commodity permabull. Your hint that gold and oil prices will collapse after the US withdraws from Iraq just like 1991-92 ignores the fact that the US won the first Gulf war but is losing steadily in Iraq today.

Equating 1980 to 2006 is one heck of a reach. Pull out of Iraq? Right, Slider. As long as Bush is in the White House, the US is not pulling out.....he's on record with that earlier in 2006. Again, equating the commodity bull market to the tech/internet mania is another real reach, even you know that. Frank Barbera? The genius who told people to sell gold in the $500's only to watch it shoot above $700.

OK Slider, time to put your money where your mouth is..... Here is an offer not even a guy like you can refuse! Jim Sinclair (I know the devil incarnate gold bug) is offering you a FREE put on the price of gold. He'll cover up to $126,000 of your "bet" so such a play is risk free! Just your size of play, no doubt. It is a risk free bet on the possible rise in the price of gold. Goodness, if you are wrong in your TA here and gold goes up you make money! If you are actually correct in your prognostications and gold goes down, you have nothing to loose! Gosh, a guy like you oughta be able to figure out a way to retire on a deal like that! You could do some fancy deal like buy the gold and sell a call or buy a put against your gold. Then when the price goes down, you'd make money on the derivative and get your money back from Jim on the physical. Of course if you use a future, you'll get so much more leverage to that downside that you could make a fortune, retire, never have to deal with the 'man' and could post all day long from your Cancun beach chair! So what will you do? Take the bet and a chance to make some money in the gold bull market, or remain stubborn and walk away from Sinclair's offer? Got the Cohunes to admit you are wrong? A Free Put From Jim Author: Jim Sinclair “Anyone buying on a scale down with a limit up to 200 one ounce gold coins (approximately$126,000USD) starting from this evening’s gold price close, I am offering a FREE PUT at your average in price for the balance of 2006, starting from the last trading day of September 2006. This is for 10% of your intended position for each ten dollar drop, should it occur, evenly spread between now and the last day of September.” -Jim Sinclair jsmineset.com H3

I'm on your 'ANXIETY BUS' but it isn't funny. Slider theres an old saying that you catch a lot more flys with honey than you do sandpaper. Alot of what you say makes sense, hits home and is correct, but I often feel like you enjoy beating us over the head with it? I hope that doesnt get me banned, but I had to get it off my chest because yes, Im on your 'anxiety bus' and its no laughing matter. I did a little number crunching the other day and heres what I came up with. The ride we just had on the HUI gold index from 400 to 290 and now back to this 320-340 range is equal to the DOW moving from todays 11,300 level and then crashing down to DOW 7000 and then finally working its way back up to DOW 9000. I guess if DOW market bulls just took that kind of beating and then got in my face about the DOW being poised to set new highs, I'd probably look at them like theyre nuts and laugh too. But since Im a precious metal investor it isn't funny after taking that kind of a beating annd still trying to hang onto a few shares and silver bars after getting stopped out. Only then to see your pictures of atom bombs blowing up and darth vader standing over gold bulls etc. Anyway, I guess Im pissed off because the truth hurts and pissed off because I know youve been right so far. But do you have to be so over the top about it? Anyway, if you care. Heres a good article about how WE ( gold, silver bulls) are feeling. Gary Tanashian Aug 21, 2006 The week just ended was the most mentally challenging and draining investment and trading exercise in recent memory leaving Yours' Truly with a feeling of being out of sync with the majority. Long gold stocks/short the Dow, my investment stance (with other diversification and defensive measures built-in), did not work out so well. (continued) 321gold.com Slider, Ill repeat my question again. Do you still like Silver and whats your outlook say 3-6 months, 2-3 years and then 5 years out for gold,silver and commoditys? TIA Ron
