Well we always knew who the good cop was and now we know who the bad cop is.

Good cop/Bad cop:by design and cohesive tactics the desire result is achieved.

In defense of Slider's post of July, you make your point well. He did, indeed, warn of deflation effects on gold and commodities.

But markets are dynamic and prices are now far lower than in mid July, and Slider's last post is loaded with aphorisms but ambiguous as to a current viewpoint on anything. His market opinions are valued here but he didn't give one.

toot toot toot.You sure are full of yourself.toot toot.Why you would be is beyond me.As far as I can tell you haven't done anything to warrant such peacockness of yourself.Not to mention your profanity and the presentation of your message is so tacky that it actually has the opposite effect of your intentions.Sliders writings stand on their own merits and they don't need the lemmings of the web to do it.He has faced the chihuahuas of the web since at least the Strictly Drilling days that I know of and he can take care of himself.
