There was a time when I was surrounded by people who hated gold. If you are one of them, remember, behind every hate is a fear." James Dines, 1975
This goes for those who really hate the short sellers. I've talked with some people who really, "hate" these guys. What does that mean? We cannot hate. It clouds or judgment. As Yoda would say, "it is the path to the dark side."
If someone tells you that that hate will make you stronger or sharper. They are, quite simply, incorrect. It makes no difference if they hate you for purchasing gold or you hate them for shorting gold, the sentiments are the same, hate, and they get no one anywhere fast.
"Some have relied on what they knew. Others on being simply true. What worked for them, might work for you."
--Robert Frost, from Provide, Provide
Don't mistake what has gotten you here, to this site, to these thoughts. It is what you have done and built in your mind up until this point. It is, quite simply, not luck, becasue luck cannot and does not exist in an ordered universe as we are a part of. Every actions has it's reaction. And every word it's purpose. Bull
