My guess would be that many of the large PM traders who are long silver have attempted to hedge by shorting gold...

Like we really need this on the Gold Price Monitor thread, a forum dedicated, oddly enough, to discussing factors relating to the price of gold, with posters from a variety of nations and races contributing. Very well, though, let's discuss it; 1. There was a war on. 2. The war's over. Perhaps those wishing to add detail could start up a "History Revision and Racial Invective" thread.

Hi Richnorth. Sorry to hear about your hair raising trip. Who needs that on vacation : - ). I have been trying to recall posting to you regarding Pear Harbor but keep coming up empty. I thought I had managed to steer clear of that. Don't recall flaming you. GO GOLD!!!!!!!!!

Richnorth, OFF TOPIC many new vehicles have a safety fuel shut off which is triggered by impact the reset button is usually in the trunk. I discovered this because a tree fell on my Uncle's car and it would not start. The car was a Ford Crown Victoria Mike

Richnorth, OFF TOPIC Glad to see you back and that you survived your ordeal in good shape. Richnorth: <<I have clearly indicated in my posts that Ted Roosevelt 'knew' of the impending Japanese attack but did nothing to turn it into a fiasco because he wanted an excuse to rally the full support of the American people in the war against Japan. Also, I have pointed out that the Americans had broken the 'secret' code of the Japanese forces and were so highly successful in anticipating and thwarting and defeating enemy action that Japanese surrender was inevitable.>> BG Comment: I would most certainly agree that the sainted Ted Roosevelt knew of the impending attack on Pearl -- from his lofty posts on Mount Rushmore and the Ether Capacious (i.e., heaven). I will also agree that most historians conclude that FDR (that's Franklin (dig <GGG>, not Ted or Eleanor) knew of Japan's plans and intentionally ignored them to create a rationale for US entry into the war. I believe the evidence is persuasive that, while the ultimate defeat of Japan is a given, surrender was not going to be quick or cheap, Truman's decision was justified. I continue to believe his big mistake from atactical standpoint was to stop Mac Arthur at the Yalu, but once the decision was made and Mac Arthur turned against him, Truman, as Commander-In-Chief had no option but to remove him. I always enjoy your posts and glad to have you back. I still think the key for gold here is Japan. If they are acting defensively to bolster the yen, permanently cut taxes, sell yen based Government owned assets, there will be downward pressure on the $US and upward pressure on interest rates.
