<< The deferred delivery plan works like this: a company offers the public gold (or silver) at or below "spot" (market) prices >>

Reminds me of the story.....

A woman goes into the butcher shop and asks 'how much is the hamburger?' ... '79 cents a pound' is the butcher's reply ... 'How come it is 79 cents when the butcher down the street is selling it for 49 cents a pound?' asks the woman ... The butcher asks 'why don't you go there and buy it?' ... The woman replies that 'he is out of it' ... The butcher replies 'when I am out of it my price is 49 cents too!'

and the ditty....

He who sells what isn't his'n
Must buy it back or go to prison

:-))

<< If the little guys were failing at it in 1995 could the big guys be near failure with the same scheme now? >>

Vronsky re-posted this dated link on the Gold Eagle forum this morning ... Fiction or not, it sure makes one think.

I think we need to form an SI chapter of 'Paranoids-R-Us'.
