I don't post here (rarely post anywhere, unless I get annoyed), but I do stop in regularly to read your Tailing Box Tales. Very good, indeed. Please keep it up.

Pinky's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday feature of At a Bottom Now for Gold... The continuing saga of...ChiPOGo Hopeless... Doctor Thoroughlymined, the patient has just arrived at the ICU. Patient's name? Her name is XAU, Ms. Grade's sister. Symptoms, Nurse AtkiSSOn? Weak vital signs, falling spells, shortness of breadth. I've never seen this before. But where's Ms. Grade? Called in sick today--she has the goldbug. Hmm...we need a second opinion--get Dr. Buyland... I'll handle this. Dr. Geigercounter--what are you doing here all the way from Radiology? It's only two clicks away. What's the prognosis so far? The veins are swollen and unproductive for varicose reasons. So I see...the c-ore-puscles are hardly moving. It's as if the patient has been heavily shorted of O2 by the manipulation of some primitive bacteria. Of course, that's little short of speculation on my part. Short speculation on your part Dr. Geigercounter? Don't let me keep you from your culture dish. We're all still growing Dr. Thoroughlymined. I recommend a transfusion for this patient at once. Impossible--the Central blood Banks are drained...Ms. Grade! You made it in. Your sister needs an immediate transfusion but the CB reserve is bled dry. What type ore grade are you? Grade A. Are you certain--Grade A? Positive. Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h. Dr. Thoroughlymined, the patient is reviving. What are they doing to me Diane? Easy kid, your sister is giving you a transfusion... But you don't understand, I came here to donate.... From the Tailing Box... Dear At a Bottom Now for Gold: Recently a Toronto based firm announced a $220 million dollar lawsuit against the Kazak government for failing to honor contracts involving uranium claims in what is considered the world's largest unmined reserve of that material outside of Australia. I'm heavily invested there. Given the existing anarchy, how can I dig myself out of this loser? --Shafted Dear Shafted: Every Kazak play that I've followed the past couple of years has hellholed. Rather than trying to dig yourself out of your Kazak play, it probably would be a lot easier to dig yourself deeper until you come out in Australia where the real uranium mother lode is anyway. --Whirlwind Dear Whirlwind: K-Mart tripled its earnings. Should I load up a cart full of stock? --SMartshopper Dear SMartshopper: Comeapart...I mean K-Mart had suffered from weakness in women's apparel. Now that summer1s back, they1ll be selling more expensive outfits using a fraction of the material, resulting in $$$$ profits. Buy and hold till frost is on the pumpkin. --Whirlwind Dear ABNFG: My wife warned me about Bre-X, but I didn't listen. She told me to get out of copper last summer, but I didn't listen. She told me to buy the S & P in January, but I didn't listen. She told me to sell my silver at $7.50, but I didn't listen. She told me to buy gold today. What should I do? --Almost Converted Dear Almost Converted: Your wife is crazy. --Whirlwind (but send me a copy of her latest newsletter anyway) Dear Pinky's Tailing Box: Zappa's share price went up a penny today. What happened? --Zappeased Dear Zappeased: Apparently they discovered another million ounces of reserves. --Whirlwind Questions about PMs? Email the Whirlwind at: whirlwindbuyszappa@mindless.com
