Glad to see your optimisitc Reg. After reading Butler's article thanks to VHF, and so many other sources.....one can't be blamed for thinking there has to be an inspector Clouseau out there ready to bumble into blowing things up, in spite of the best laid plans and all that.

Given the flaring nostrils snorting between the ECU and the U.S. re interest rate differentials and the obvious odor eminating from Europe post the 10 year stealth U.S/Brit designed gold heist on their banks...one has to wonder who will be the first to jump on the obvious flithy lucer to be made freeing silver out of it's misery....and then gold. I don't think those who have been "had" will be contributing any more gold to the U.S. anti-inflation skit, do you?

Man, if the lid blows, I still like to remember Pic's chart from back in January that showed ECU at about $15 in June/July area. It could still happen if silver explodes to $30 to $40...in a heartbeat.

How's that for optimism? A serious fault of mine at time.

The root canals should be complete I should think.
