So much written and so little offered,respectfully of course. 90% are doomed by their own DNA. What the F@%$ does that mean anyway? 10% and less control the market? Yes,control is the right word. Being in the know,being in the right circle,being where you should be at the the right time and being that fly on the wall is where the 10%ters are. The markets are rigged by design and human nature;DNA The longer term trend is still intact;Oil and Gold will continue higher. The Fed is a joke and those who run this country have failed us. Inflation will be a household word spoken from the lips of those 90%ters. And as sure as I am of myself the Fed will continue to tell us the system is viably sound and intact and inflation should not be a concern.

Slider? This morning, I thought this post was one of your best- 'Darwinism and the 90/10 rule test' And now this afternoon- with the equivalent of Black Monday in the gold stocks- this post- 'The time has come, this is where you must decide' Damn. I'm sure anyone who was on the fence about you- just got off (in both directions). A lot of people bitch that you drop hints and lay down riddles, and it pisses them off. And I have to admit- it does me too. Just being honest. But, I realize that you don't really have any responsibility to do even that. It's not like were paying you or anything. And 'too early' raised an interesting question- Are you saying something here?- are you going to do a newsletter? If you are- I'll be first in line. And I'll add- that I think I deserve discount <vbg>. Actually, you should. Quit all the cat and mouse games- and I mean that respectfully. Just do one and get it over with. Give us the full scoop. Let finallythere be one of 'the flys on the wall' (vbg). Is this where you're going with all this? If so- getrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdone! But, one favor. Don't leave SI. You are one unique voice. And you need to keep a presence here- free. I say do both. And if you do- post a damn picuture of yourself man. I feel like I'm posting to Keyser Sose, or a damn ghost. And talk about timing? It's now or never Slido- time for YOU to shit, or get off the pot (vbg). Ron Ps- I'm SERIOUS about the discount! I'm just a penny-pincher social security pensioneer who needs to watch his nickels.

PS: There are only three types of traders in this world. -- Traders who watch things happen. -- Traders to whom things happen. -- Traders who make things happen. Are those meant to be mutually exclusive? Would that last group be Goldman-Sachs? habit

"All of us have been there, at one time, or another." Yes, thanks for telling it like it is. I've been there. Believe it or not it was in 1999! I took all the talk about the imminent collapse very seriously and went short too early. Plus I averaged down on a junior oil exploration company that went bust. I like to think it won't happen to me again, but I know I can't let my guard down for a second. It can happen to anyone, even Jesse Livermore. I recently read his book "How To Trade In Stocks". It's good, but it's even more interesting for what it doesn't say than for what it does say. Here is someone who started earning his living by trading stocks at the age of fifteen, and was worth over 100 million in 1930, a few billion in today's dollars. He died broke. What did Jesse Livermore know at the age of 15? He can't have had any deep knowledge of the fundamentals of the companies he was trading. He didn't have the internet or a computer; he didn't even use charts. He didn't have sentiment indicators. He didn't have friends in high places. He does not say what he knew at 15. But it cannot have been very complicated. This is something I think about often. And how did he lose the recipe and end up broke? He does not spell that out either, but it's implied his personal life and emotional state had a lot to do with it. .................... By the way, the selloff in palladium is getting ridiculous. This bears watching. Fun-da-Mental
