... that I was right. I was lucky. In my mind I have been thinking for some time now that this axe bludgeoning would have very little to do with the charts and much to do with desperation, power, repositioning and paper $. In the next two weeks gold could very easily be at $2200...or very soon thereafter. Not sure if they can get silver down much more here but can't see them not trying very hard it get it well below $38...maybe they just won't succeed.

We are left here today on the precipice, wondering how far they will take this. What will Bernanke do Friday, next week, next month? What about Geithner? What about Congress? When will the funds swing back into the PMs? How far up can they drive Bank of America? What will happen to oil and most commodities starting Sept.? Will the S&P soar or sink? Will they push deflation of hyperinflation? When will they let the $US drop? What will happen to interest rates? Which will be the next currency to drop? What will the Chinese do? Will there be a gold standard of sorts exposed? Well, most of you are much more expert than I will ever hope to be on these and a million other topics.

The biggest question in my mind (and yours) hovers over the gold /silver producers and the JPM's. Will the stranglehold on the whole sector, especially the TSX venture, be relaxed or will they lose control?...or are they positioning/positioned long here and will let them rocket into the year end? Will all the Canadian Banks and funds, hogtied by their US daddies, finally cease their fraudulent behaviour in these markets. Isn't it amazing that we have had undeniable proof of illegal behavior in our markets for years and all we can do is hope and guess what these tenticles of The Squid will do? How sad for once free markets! So here we are...guessing and hoping...incredible!!!

Years of disgust, disdain, despair by most... and huge investment losses to the criminal elites are piled up here like wind driven ice flows in the Spring melt crushing up over the vast shores of a massive lake....smashing anything made by the average man.

Too many questions to guess about. I think the biggest challenge we may soo have will be a rather pleasant one. Which, of our many favorite PM?JPM stocks will move the fastest first? When should we sell and then buy the next one/s as they begin their climb on the stairway to the top ovetr the next few years? It will be a nice dilema to have.

Your guess is as good as mine.
