Hi Pic

re. your "I do not know that if hadnt hit a home run with one stock, that I would have maintained my JPM exposure here, but the plan was to stay with them until spring or late 2012, so will stick with the plan.

But at this rate I will likely get all my gains in JPMs in a short period of time....will need to be nimble....pic"

I think part of the criminal's plan is the total destruction of confidence in any pm related investment. The price trends of the pm shares are total nonsense unless you assume focused and continuous manipulation by the enemies of honest money.

The symptoms are obvious:
Hammer physical upon any crisis. Going on so long and it is so obvious it needs no explanation.

Hammer physical upon the release of any data not favorable to the fiction of a strengthening economy. The current mantra of “we avoided a double dip recession” is a classic “assumed fact” argument. They make the assumption that we have in fact recovered from the recession. No one with two brain cells and one era knows we are in an ever deepening recession and none of the bankers or politicians has any intention of doing what is necessary to recover or prevent the net one.

Hammer pm stocks hard when the metals go up, but the major indices go down.
Sit on pm juniors constantly to make sure that there is no public enthusiasm.

Hammer the metals whenever there would be call option OI profit for the market players. Again, going on so long and it is so obvious it needs no explanation.

Total control of mass media reporting on precious metals. This is now getting laughable in the face of the performance of pms vs the major indices this century.

The point is to never let anyone who does not dig for the truth to get any idea that t precious metals offer investment of protection potential. It is the mushroom method in action: “keep them in the dark and feed them s#|t”!
