<<Pushing stimulus while buying metals is interesting.> I am not pushing anything but logic. I have been trading mining shares for 30 years; and the economic theories I beleive in are the bread and butter economics one will find in most university econ 101 classes. I believe the most sophisticated ideas are on the left. That is why I am a liberal. If you look back through history most of the people we lionize today were liberals during their lives e.g. Plato, Socrates, ancient Greeks, Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Einstein, FDR, JFK, and on and on. YOu would be hard pressed to find as many conservatives. Liberal (to live in the present and future), conservative (to conserve, to stand still). I believe it is mankind's manifest destiny to evolve culturally. Unless one really tries to live their life according to reality and truthfully, then IMO one has just wasted their life. It is hard enough to figure out what is real and what is not without purposely convoluting ideas to win an argument or make a point. If I am wrong about something I sure as hell want to know and will change my mind in a New York minute. I am not married to any idea. In fact it is such a waste of one's life to live an illusion I feel sorry for those who will live their lives from birth, to death, and for one reason or another, never get a chance to even touch reality a little bit.
