Hi TJ, this is your wonderful China - China "concerned" at Sudan genocide charge (how would you call China response?) By Chris Buckley BEIJING (Reuters) - China expressed "grave concern" on Tuesday after the International Criminal Court's prosecutor charged Sudan's president with genocide in Darfur. In Khartoum, the United Nations told its staff to stay at home as thousands of Sudanese prepared to rally in support of President Omar Hassan al-Bashir. ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo on Monday asked the court for an arrest warrant for Bashir, accusing him of running a campaign of genocide that has killed 35,000 people and forced 2.5 million to flee their homes in Sudan's western region reuters.com

There are tough, difficult times ahead, times in which our friends and relatives may well suffer. Thus, the sharing of honest and sincere advice, insights and ideas is particularly worthwhile. The give and take of the solidly protected pack is a far better survival mechanism than the lonely and ineffective machinations of the single crackpot steppenwolf. results getting, it is an art, not a skill, Indeed seems to be the case, but it is grounded IMO on a willingness to see things as they are, not as we wish they were. And this is easier said than done. Lots of very smart, very talented people reach conclusions on complicated matters after simply looking out the kitchen window or by stroke of mental flatulence, e.g., buy YHOO, hold for weekend for MSFT will definitely buy. Not meant as an insult, simply an example of the inability or unwillingness to see things as they are. This failure is an invitation to disaster. I am not nearly as smart as a lot of people here, but I do try to see things unvarnished by spin and bias. I daresay it equalizes any differentials in mental horsepower. singularly astute, exquisitely timed Thank you. I am watching it like a hawk. It was simply a function of three things, rumblings in the Force, gold's inevitability, and a dip in price. Also a bit of 'in for a dime, in for a dollar.' In other words, if gold is good, twice as much is better. Or, why not at 50% discount? Of course, this presumes paper gold will be OK. And I think so, the extreme dire scenarios are IMO too far into the future to worry about now. Extreme survivalists like blazingwick are a giggle to watch. vbg...no....no LOL! Edit: gold soaring today. Wonder how the taunting, disrespectful gold shorts are doing? LOL!
