I also used to buy bottles of Coke at the corner store for 5c - until that awful day when the price was raised 20% in one swell foop, to 6c. My budget was in ruins for a long time after that.

The kids allegedly committed reckless homicide of their Dad in a fireworks accident. James Howard the Duck |

You can check the spot trade price on Bloomberg at the links below. It is now showing at $998.70. http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/com.../cfutures.html 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 - - Show 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. James the Homeless- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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.
