Yes two things ... I'm not bashing gold here... so folks understand.. just being a realist.. I didn't anticipate this rally to be sure.. and was short gold too long.. but think lots that were in, were in because of the inflation idea.. I just happen to think 1) we don't collapse... we grind for what seems like forever.. 2) inflation is a ways a way.. We are in the transition I've believed in and spouted for a long time.. The US is not going away but will not be the only game in town.. It doesn't have to lead us out.. but total decoupling ? No way.. I do look east for leadership... because it will be collateral benefits (as opposed to damage :O) that helps us out of the malaise which is here for a while.. which I still am big on yield... where I think it can be maintained.. Yes I like LB also but own none presently.. Hey I'm from Montréal and as we all know Québec sait faire ;o) TBS

Ya know M, posting to you always makes me too introspective ;O) Just got off walking the doggies.. chasing off the local coyote LOL.. It won't be eating my doggies..They actually scare it.. Anyway a full hour of Lightfoot and I feel fine :o) Although I do believe Roberta Flack's version of the First Time is the best not Gord's..His voice doesn't cut it on that one. but you can't hop a jet plane like you can a freight train... and heroes often fail TBS
