I guess what I am trying to say is if you just listen to guys on the gold threads, at some point you cross to the dark side. All good things become manipulation and you hope for bad news to make POG rise. It happened to me and it took a kick in the ass to turn me around. I was recently diagnosed with a weird form of Leukemia and it changed my outlook on many things. I think, for example that most people, politicos included, have good intentions. I still am not blind to the fact that there are crooks out there but I don’t think they are prevalent. One thing that helped me become more optimistic is seeing one of the conspiracy advocates on this thread poo-poo the Lunar landing. I worked for NASA in the early 70’s during the Apollo, Skylab and LOE satellite era and know what happened. These guys can only see the conspiracy in everything and fail to see the good. This market has been great lately and I don’t think it is manipulation. I also think the FED has done a very good job during tough times helping the economy to run relatively smoothly. If you had guaranteed me five years ago that all of the things that actually happen would happen, North Korea, Hurricanes, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan. I would have sold my mother and bought only gold. None of those things sent gold up very much. What’s it going to take? Just my two cents. Sorry if I offend anyone. Dave
