Ron: Whether I agree with you - or not - your approach is a compelling point of view....IMHO this thread can use more rational discussion and less sarcasm (flames). Best, Don

Ron, Heard a couple of interesting questions thought you might like to answer, Would you rather be Goldilocks or one of the three bears? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . When you were to find out you were on the "wrong side" would you get a species change operation?

>>>>Small Cap stocks have been in the mother of bear markets and that is going to have far more drastic impacts on the future of the US economy than whether or not large amounts of gold are mined.<<<<< Ron, may I add as a small businessman, that private small businesses are also feeling the sucking sound. bb

Ron, <<No, I may not like the concept of a short squeeze of the type Bill Murphy is proposing due to the severe economic repercussions it could inflict. >> Why do you keep saying this? ,,,,, BILL MURPHY COULD PRECIPITATE THE GREATEST SHORT SQUEEZE EVER UNLEASHED AND GOLD WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RESULTING ECONOMIC MESS ... it may a benefactor, but NOT the cause of it .... STUPID AND GUTLESS ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT WILL BE THE CAUSE. Also ... the fact is - it only takes a very small number of total dollars to greatly increase the price of gold. If 90% of dollars that left equities went to bonds and the remaining 10% went to gold .... we would have a hell of a rally. Finally - that is what makes me believe gold is being held down ... not because of the economic damage it would do to the country as a whole - but rather the economic damage it would do to certain highly leveraged funds.
