Today we have Wells Fargo which received $25 billion coming out with record earnings which probably at some later date will melt away by some other method of accounting. But as a recipient of gvt largesse, how could they refuse a request to come out with bright news, first thing in the morning, for the powers that be? If it were bad news does it come out at 4 PM before a three day weekend?

Such is the state of my mind where I think everything I hear from certain quarters is a lie. The only thing I believe in is gold and silver and some of the miners.
