Thanks for posting Lawnbowler,

Does anyone else feel like a frog who was lured into a tepid pot with AUM? Over the last few months the water temp rapidly rose to near boiling and I became unable to move or act to get out of the pot. With the release of this report I can only float imobile as the cook comes with his pronged fork to skewer me.

And the bigger picture - Massive corruption on every side, on the verge of deflation, strengthening dollar, concerted effort to suppress precious metals with unlimited resources... I think I'll go back to spending my fiat currency on real goods and services and just hope that my sizable investments will someday appreciate to something close to my cost basis.
