Hmmmmm. Wasn't that long ago that you chastised me for posting gold
and silver prices either spiking or tanking. You said something to the
effect of "Like we don't know how to look it up".
Pot-Kettle, shoe on other foot etc. Oh, you also plonked me, so you
probably won't see this. 8-)

Time to BUY! Intense buying will drive the price up even further. Anyone
for some intense buying?

Industries that use gold in manufacturing (not jewelry) are selling off their
gold stock, since it is little used anymore. Gold is a commodity like corn,
beans, or cattle, (ask Hillary about cattle commodities). The main thing
keeping prices at a high level at this time is people speculating in gold,
thinking it won't go anyplace but up.

It is sort of like buy a big bag of potato chips for $1.00, and tell others
that it
is a great investment, so the word spreads and soon potato chips are selling
for
$10 a bag, but no one eats them - they are an investment. Finally someone
opens
a bag and finds out they are nothing special, and spreads the word, and the
price
quickly drops back to $1 a bag.

Another example is like the guy who went into the jungle and told the natives
that
he would buy monkeys at $10 each. The natives caught hundreds of monkeys and
sold them. The money population was lowered and they were harder to catch, so
the man offered $20 per monkey. Again, he bought huge numbers of monkeys.
When the monkeys got really hard to find and catch, the man said, I need to go
to the city to get more money, but when I return, I will pay $50 per monkey.
Meantime, I am leaving my assistant in charge to feed all the monkeys in the
pen.

When the man was gone, the assistant told the people they could get $50 a
monkey, so I will sell you monkeys at $35 each, and when the man comes back,
you can sell them for $50. The natives bought all the monkeys, and the
assistant left, and neither he nor the monkey buyer were ever seen again.

Buy your gold, but don't come crying when the price falls.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but that's the way it is.


I didn't realize I had a bubble to bust.
Or are you generally just a condescending jerk to everyone?

I didn't realize I was a jerk by telling you the truth,
but normally, I am only a jerk to dogs. That you?

So, I guess you're just a jerk all the time, eh?

So now two days later silver's closing in on $17/oz. Metals can be as
fickle as the stock market. Greece in trouble today-- market tanks.
Consumer confidence up tomorrow-- market rallies (what happened to
Greece??). Next day Dunkin Donuts profits don't reach expectations-- market
slumps. Blah. Blah. Maybe they ought to quote prices once a quarter to
avoid all the daily stress.

What I don't understand is why Mr. Dog hasn't tried again to kill
himself. Last attempt resulted in a vegetable that we're ALL paying for.
Next try should do the trick!
