So, do you recommend buying gold now? Or what are you saying,
exactly?

I don't know if Jon Stewart was full of chit or not but he was
poking fun at gold sellers on Fox that had a 30% commision.


You might want to reconsider Wes.
He was poking fun at idiots buying and selling gold that were paying
a 30 percent premium to brokers.
Gold is a market for children and POG people.
It has absolutely no basis, reality or use in the real world.
Completely Speculative is the best description.

We may be missing something here, John. If things get *really* rough,
gold would make good fishing sinkers and, probably, pretty good
bullets.

Lead may be too valuable then to use for the purpose. g


Actually Ed, when things get really rough - the guy with the bio, R***,
ends up with a 4 X bypass and an artery from somewhere in his chest directly
connected to his heart. He's also on insulin now rather than drugs and his
older brother is minding the store.
I've got a great John Doer story that I'll probably have to take to my
grave.
Interesting that I'm not getting paid for all of this, wouldn't you say?
