Pinky's Tailing Box Special Ides of March Edition... Investors, savers, speculaters, lend me your ears; I come to bury gold stocks, not to buy them. The profit that metals accrue leaves after them The gold is oft hedged through forward loans So let it be with silver. The noble Armstrong hath told you speculating in silver was ambitious, If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grieviously hath silver answer'd for it. Here, under leave of Armstrong and the rest-- For Armstrong is an honorable man So are they all honorable men--(Lynch, Brinker, Granville, Acampora) Come I to speak in silver's funeral. It was my core hold, an investment must to me. But Armstrong says it was ambitious. And Armstrong is an honorable man. We have brought brought many commodities, and Placer Dome Their shorting did the general coffers fill Did this--in silver--seem ambitious? When the poor goldbugs cried, silver was inept. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Armstrong says silver was ambitious. And Armstrong is an honorable man. You all saw flee our goldbugs' morale-- We thrice run POG up and let go back down, Which it made thrice new lows Yet Armstrong says we were ambitious, and, sure, he is an honorable man. I speak not to disprove what Armstrong spoke. But here I am, to speak what I know. You all did love metals once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for them? O judgment! thou art fled from Warren Buffett And men have lost their reason. (And their shirts) Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with silver. And I must pause till it come back to me. $ Hey diddle diddle gold's up just a little the Dow's jumped over the moon. The little POG lapsed to see such a sight and the wished for a gold rally soon. $ From the Tailing Box... Dear Pinky's Tailing Box, How long have you been in Silver? --Most Curious Dear Most Curious, Since before they'd invented transparent Scotch tape. --Whirlwind Señor Whirlwind, The Weekly World News today is today splashed with this headline: "Warning! The 2nd Great Depression is Coming Soon..." What day will it begin to happen? --Intranquilo Dear Intranquilo, I have no Ides dia when the next Great Depression will March in. --Whirlwind
