LOL. i don't write newsletters or have to kow tow to some social standing based on last week's performance. hence i am free, and will only shoot pigmi darts at them, to remind them they are only as good now, as little "retail". time marches on. and gold is now at 1126 for the open. i think i'll be back for shanghai expo. already working on it, via montevideo. <g> if so, meet me for a reflexology session in shanghai. and we will be quiet, drink tee, and quietly bless that moment, in pure bliss, as we, each ponder........... that we are still here, doing exactly the above. no talking allowed. <g> J
