I was on the phone the other day with my son who lives in Las Vegas. He is an avid follower of real estate prices in all areas. He mentioned that practically all the listed homes for sale in his area were on corners, the least desirable. Could the government or big banks be holding back the more desirable ones and if so why? Well this is where my mind took me:

I believe the end game of the total thrashing of juniors and explorers by the hedge funds will be repaid to them for their efforts by their bidding on and winning large blocks of desirable houses at below realistic values at taxpayer expense to be packaged into REIT's and resold for a profit behind closed doors.

This is exactly the same repayment philosophy that the big banks receive for doing the naked shorting in our sector, along with gold and silver, with having exclusive priviledges to market government bonds.

We are not being singled out for pain, EVERYONE is being kept like in a bunker while a tornado rips up our crops(our share valuation). The key for rebuilding our market asset valuation is an expanding gold resource with an ultimately much higher price for gold. This will happen.
