There are always some out there that should be even more incensed than us, such as shareholders of First Majestic with stellar first quarter revenues and profits...stock went down over 4%...all the way to little old BGC also down on good news....and I'm sure there are many more. I guess the cretins are laughing at us and want to rub it in...and sending us yet another message. You know, it would not surprise me if someone out there in the US... or several, one day demand retribution. When many honest men begin to lose so much due to the actions of known criminals they can justifiably do desperate things.

I think maybe "Ranting Andy" was alluding to that. He has every right to be pissed at the experts within our midst. Those with wealth can keep holding on knowing that their day will come. Do not forget that the many though have nearly succumbed...from ECU (and so many others) at $3.60 and much lower gold prices... to ECU at .64 and gold at $1500. The luxury to continue to pontificate on what the masters of the markets may do next is a vestige that has been surgically removed without anesthetic.

Maybe we should try to guess how low they will take ECU (and others) just for spite. I am getting that feeling that the sequitur to to all this is a takedown the likes of which we cannot contemplate...sharp, short and lethal...why? Because they can and they will make big dough piled on top of the stashes already made naked shorting....and the little guy will be put to death. He will sell what's left out of fear and will surely capitulate having no cash left.

Since the monstors in our markets can naked short at will and any law suits resulting will take years why should they even care.

I leave the timing up to others. As for the price...I think someone here is mumbling about somewhere near 50 cents. Even if they can rip her down to 20 cents for a day, who is left to buy or even know about buying? "They" are left, that's who.

I know someone with two big coffee cans full of old real silver dollars and coins, collected laboriuosly over 40 years. It has never seemed like much and has been kept for sentimental value only because their daughter knew how many years of scraping and skimping it took to accumulate. She never asked why they did it. I'm sure many here have heard similar stories. It was inherited from parents who went through the depression and knew all about the value of real currency and a humble meal. The only job the father could get in the early thirties was hauling lumber for fire wood by horse and sleigh out of the bush for many winters on end. Things started to turn when the war came along creating many jobs here.

Thats' when it all started.

This is where it is ending. Richard Maybury knows. Invest in Defense stocks, gold and silver he says. Who's got any cash left? Chaostan has arrived even earlier than he expected.

So, here we are, guessing at what's next because that's all that's left....there is no price discovery or free trading markets...or charts that work...or honest men that can seek address.

We are on our own.
