I'm in the Heartland of America,and would like to share my observations and conclusions...which I don't consider off topic ,because these observations include and effect alll of us..

It's the start of a new day and I checked my portfolio and the bleeding has stopped and reversed by a couple of thou..

It's 8:06 Edt and here is the current stats...

I see that gold has broken the $750.00 mark to the downside and that dosen't bother me one bit....

The gold price can change up or down in a heartbeat and panic the world and the markets..the newbie lemmings..the shorts..rat-faces...scum..and margin players...

I am an investor...I play with my own money...I don't short or play on margin...

I don't panic and sell on a falling market..I sit on my hands..until I think the value of a stock is acceptable to me..and then I BUY on a falling market...

I sell on a rising market...

So needless to say I have been buying in these market conditions,and must admit,hindsite being a hundred %%%%%..I should have sat on my hands a little longer..but stand to make huge profits anyway when the markets turn up..and they will..

But I digress..

My trip took me from Detroit,south on 75 and the west on I-70 to Indianoplois.What am I looking for..

I am looking for evidence the US economy is shutting down..long lines of unemployed waiting in line at soup kitchens..for sale signs on every house...traffic light and shopping mall parking lots empty..

I intensionally drove through down town Detroit,through Mexican town..stopped and gassed up and listened to the banter of the clients at the gas station..the most interesting was of two women chatting and one telling the other she closed the bar last night and barely made it home..

The restaurant where we stopped for lunch was full and busy..

The rest stops on the I hiways were busy,but about average ,I would think for a midweek Sepember day...

I will be out investigating my mission again today but expect to see more of the same..

But the main indicator AND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS THE SEMI TRAFFIC...!!

AND I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT AT LEAST 65-70% OF THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSATES THROUGH THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA Is transport trucks...

Transport trucks move every product that consumers use or consume...and when the trans port trucks stop moving we shut down.!!..Simple as that..

There is no evidence that this is occuring..

America will get us into trouble but has the power to get us back out,led by the American consumer..

What happens along the way is just bells and whistles..

He last observation..Gold fluctuates all over the place and really bothers those that want it or more of it and will do anything to get it..Including murder and mayhem..

These are our enemy...because we KXL 'ers have it and THEY want to steal it from us..any way they can..

but physical gold ,unlike the virtual "Gold Price",can not appear instantly...unless yoou have a genie in a bottle..All I have is a fifth of Ripple in a bottle..

Getting our gold out of the ground and into our pockets in the form of share price will take time..

I am mentally prepared to wait out what ever the scum want to throw at me and enjoy my self and out wait 'em...

Now I may have to put off my grandoise plans for dancing girls..live bands..big yachts..fast cars and faster women..but rest assured that these dreams are not gone..just delayed..

so for me it is a mental exercise ..often the use of Mental"ignor" works well for me..

I hope that I have is stilled some happiness into your life this morning,knowing that as far as I can see,the US economy is not dead ..

So don't listen to the paid bashers and talking heads that tell you what ever it is the are tell us ,which 99% of the time is in their best interest ,to try to make you believe what ever they happen to be selling at the moment..not our best interest..

I'm doing my own DD...and am willing to share it with you..our Faithfull KXK schlongs..

I am more convinced that this is a manufactured event to cover high ranking asses of all stripe and wealth/.

I will out wait them and profit..

End of rant..

Hope you all have a better day after reading this...now where is that Fifth of Ripple..

PORTEE..
