I hope to God you didn’t achieve your well-off financial status on the backs of your children! But I’m afraid it sounds like you threw them into institutional day care orphanage so she could make all that extra money.

If you did, shame on you; extra shame on your wife for abandoning her children to strangers so she could bring in more cash. Shame shame shame. Don’t be surprised when your children throw you into a daycare when you’re 88 and abandon your ass in spite.

Day care is used by morons and total jerks.

Please tell me a grandmother looked after them for you at least?????

Id also like to predict the collapse of the American and Canadian dollar and a merger into the Amero, but I cant say exactly when.

For more on this, check out http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/ and see its written by a guy that was “in the business” when Garth was chasing pimply fat chicks in high school.

Some opinion of myself? Hardly. I’m just saying I’ll take their opinions over your half-baked ideas. “Most people here” may have followed the markets for a long time but they don’t do it full-time and they aren’t trusted with tens of billions of dollars. Alpha is a zero-sum game, the reason institutional managers can make money is b/c of people like you who think they know more than they do. You can boast about predicting this and predicting that – you predict enough things and chances are you’ll be right sometimes – as they say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

I just think it is silly to speak with confidence about the market going to 4000 because of quant/technical systems. If so confident, I hope you are leveraging up on index puts…

The paper Ponzi scheme has never collapsed to the extent that it has; total collapse; financial annihilation. Weimar Germany, Zimbabwe, with a North American pretty lying face on the carnage. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men will not put Humpty back together again.

What you are witnessing is idiots trying to put out a fire in a building that is 98% lost with torches and firehoses filled with gasoline, not water.

Furthermore, the consortiums who manipulate gold prices by dumping tons of what they know is utterly worthless gold paper on the market to drive the price down so they can pick up the real bars at bargain-basement prices are just about out of worthless paper TO dump. Once that occurs, gold will never be artificially knocked down again.

Will there be fluctuations? Of course, but at a level far above today’s valuation. Once everyone recognizes that gold paper is worthless, it will be much harder to daytrade and virtually impossible to manipulate prices, and the lemming day surfer fluctuation factor will no longer apply.

It will be those who hold gold who will have real money for homes at the bottom of the market, not paper-pushers and paper-believers. Cash is in a bubble right now, while gold is still far below historical norms adjusted for inflation. A gold “bubble” hasn’t even started yet, as only the uber-riche are clued-in enough to hoard it.

Always do the DIRECT opposite of what the elite want you to do; always. Right now they want people to dump gold like lemmings so they can scoop it up at bargain rates.

Speculating on gold may work as it has for homes, for a while, not so for the greater fools…

Like the rest of the lemmings we spent most of our savings on these metals, and waited for the financial jackpot.
Imagine our surprise when the value of these ‘precious’ little coins dropped as quickly as they’d risen. We shoulda cashed out when the price of gold hit $1,000.. but no, we believed the hype, and lost a bundle.
Good luck to another generation of ‘Gold Miners’ hope you’re timing is better than ours.

Might I suggest you watch out for ‘Shrinking profits’? LOL

Can I borrow some of yours?

January 2003 Silver price per ounce = $5

January 2008 Silver price per ounce = $12

Remember, gold and silver are the mountain that all fiat currency is trying to climb.

The greatest storer of wealth since the beginning of time…the noble metals.

Ok Im off to see my shrink. He wants to buy 20 ounces of silver from my stock, you see. >:)
