Hello


The good news is crude oil also dropped.


You can check the spot trade price on Bloomberg at the links
below. It is now showing at $998.70.

Folks, we have a contender for most clueless response to a post.
Shall we close the nominations now and all acclaim Arizona Coin Collector
the
winner?- Hide quoted text -

Well, it's the stupidest RCC response since the "Giant Brain"
expounded with ultimate authority that that nice 1841 British Gold
Sovereign was worth melt, or about $225 - not the 8,000 pounds that it
catalogs at.


So it's the stupidest response in about three weeks.

Drunk again, Oly?

Sometimes I'm sober.

But you are always stupid, el "Braniac".
--------------------------------------------
You must lead a horrible life being both drunk and dense, not to mention the
fact you have reading comprehension problems and are seemingly incapable of
telling the truth.
The signal-to-noise ratio of your drunken missives have gotten to the point
where I must bid you adieu.

Well, at least you're no longer in denial about the fact that you
advised Hans that his 8,000 GBP coin was only worth 225 USD.

You used to whine and whine and whine that you never made that tidbit
of excellent advice.

All this argument is meaningless to me, having just lost my entire
nest egg due to this latest gold crash. This could be my last post,
because I can see someone pounding at my front door, yelling
something about how he's going to repo my computer, and he's got a
U.S. Marshal with him.

Jay Gould survived the 1869 debacle for many many years - and died
rather old and still rich.

You will too, mon vieux.

They don't repo computers. Used computer is worth three cents on the
dollar to the finance company. They will harass you for the money to
the fullest extent they can get away with - but remember, they don't
want the computer back, ever.


Whew, it was just a couple of my neighbors from down the street pulling a
prank. Now I can get back to my Scrooge McDuck roleplay.

Hello


The good news is crude oil also dropped.


You can check the spot trade price on Bloomberg at the links
below. It is now showing at $998.70.

Folks, we have a contender for most clueless response to a
post. Shall we close the nominations now and all acclaim
Arizona Coin Collector the
winner?- Hide quoted text -

Well, it's the stupidest RCC response since the "Giant Brain"
expounded with ultimate authority that that nice 1841 British
Gold Sovereign was worth melt, or about $225 - not the 8,000
pounds that it catalogs at.


So it's the stupidest response in about three weeks.


All this argument is meaningless to me, having just lost my
entire nest egg due to this latest gold crash. This could be my
last post, because I can see someone pounding at my front door,
yelling something about how he's going to repo my computer, and
he's got a U.S. Marshal with him.

Jay Gould survived the 1869 debacle for many many years - and
died rather old and still rich.


You will too, mon vieux.


They don't repo computers. Used computer is worth three cents on
the dollar to the finance company. They will harass you for the
money to the fullest extent they can get away with - but
remember, they don't want the computer back, ever.


Whew, it was just a couple of my neighbors from down the street
pulling a prank. Now I can get back to my Scrooge McDuck roleplay..

Scrooge McDuck had his money bin full of both gold and greenbacks.
Wouldn't a real dyed-in-the-wool miser have had only gold???


He uses the gold to fill the tub for his bath. The greenbacks are
carried to leave a dollar tip for waiters.

Scrooge is a Scotsman!!! NO WAY would he be leaving a whole dollar
for the waiters!!!


Hughey, Dewey and Louie were lucky to get a quarter apiece from the
old fart on their birthdays!!!

Some 19th century American miser (I believe the fellow might have
been a lawyer too) issued a token (or something exo-numismatic) that
said "Never Trust a Paper Dollar Until Tommorrow".- Hide quoted text

In all fairness to Scrooge McDuck, that birthday quarter went a lot
further back then - maybe as many as five candy bars (or perhaps three
candy bars plus some penny candy and Bazooka bubble gum).


No kidding. *Just the other day, as I plunked four quarters in a vending
machine for a Three Musketeers, I mentioned to a Sweet Young Thing standing
there that I used to get one for a nickel. *Candy bar, I'm talking about.

Sweets for the Sweet.

I can remember five cent first class stamps, but I might be stretching
it a bit to say that I really remember the five cent candy bar. *Even
at age seven or eight (c.1967) we were just a bit past that on the
long march of U.S. monetary inflation.

I always admired the inventor fellow in the Scrooge McDuck series -
Gyro Gearloose or some name like that???

Huey, Dewey and Louie were a little bratty, 'tho basically good boys.
They were a little bit like Popeye's "Swee' Pea" - whose the heck kids
were they, anyway???
