Sinbob, you do not have to apologize for last nights rant.

You simply expressed your opinions in a very honest manner. Honestly, I wasn't surprised with yesterday's happening. Actually I expected the POG to drop to $880 / $890.

Given that we're still over $900 is quite revealing as far as I am concerned. I recall back 3 years ago when ECU was trading well over $3.00 yet the POG was in the $600's and we didn't have half the reserves that we have now.

I don't believe that all those people that we read faithfully are bs'ing us. Again I don't believe that everytime that the POG drops that we can blame " Da Boys". I believe that their (the cartel) role's is very overstated here.

What I have very hard time believing is the world market who beleive that a safe investment in the US$. This will eventually change.

I recall back a few years ago when other prominent posters were all saying how incredible it was for the feds to be able to keep the raft afloat. Yet in August 2007 the first shoe fell they were all proven correct.

I still don'tknow when the next shoe will fall, but as I read yesterday about the 1943 natzi's when things really started going bad, that's when the media spin really took over.

The next shoe will fall and it will probably be sooner, and harder, then we expect. Till then we must keep the faith.
