Slow week, perhaps, with the two holidays.

Maybe I'll spend some time reviewing the umpteen positive predictions circulating out there about gold and silver taking off, the train leaving the station, most everyone being left behind, get yours now, etc. I seem to be missing something. Maybe I've got my seat belt on too tight.

Or maybe its time for an early picnic and forget about this stuff for awhile.

Madoff gets 150 years. How fitting. Goldman Sachs and friends next?
