E. Because the man on the street hasn't lost his job or his pension yet. This will probably come, but we are seeing things before the man on the street. That is why BC doesn't get any blame about deteriorating conditions. Peter :o)

Eric, at the risk of making any disparaging remarks towards our ovine friends, who have helped to take this market to these lofty levels, I am sure Bill is having to count less sheep at night than ,"chainsaw Al". The silence of the "Spam" may well be suffering from his habitual sleeplessness(read sheepishness;>), due to information that he can not share for a change. Hah! I am not sure if he is a board member of BIS, but if so, it sure would stink worse than a barrel of sheep dip on the outback on a warm Darwin afternoon. Pretty hard to pull the wool over this threads eyes. read the post from PH in LA and the questions he has for FOA: >>Also, can you corroberate something that I have heard asserted more than once; namely that one of the members of the board of the BIS is our own Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan? In other words, something that keeps occurring to me while contemplating all this: To what extent is the coming new monetary system being forseen and santioned by the Fed? Certainly, they must understand what is about to happen. Haven't they also contributed to the preparations? The gold-carry and the yen-carry trades were only viable while US interest rates were kept high enough these many years. Why would the Fed allow this"ingenious way to expand liquidity until another currency system could be introduced" rather than supplying the liquidity themselves in other less-"ingenious" ways unless it was to prepare the world financial system for the new currency of the Euro? It does begin to look like the Fed has collaborated hand in hand with the BIS and the other CBs; operating as a willing partner in this grand plan to retire the dollar from its role as world's reserve currency.<< usagold.com See! Bill got off the hook once again! W
