And of course all Bush can and will talk about is Saddam.
I want to hear something about economic stimulus - - why voters should give a mandate for tax cuts - - - but with W it's Saddam, Saddam, Saddam, Saddam. Kind of like his daddy, who also couldn't be bothered with the economy.

Interesting info on the PM equities shorts. Now I know why the PM stocks have been fading lately. Might be real tempting to some big money blowing these shorts off the pot and making a big hit.

Who in h would put their arse over a rumbling volcano knowing it's not a question of "if" but "when" it's going to erupt?

A few weeks ago, I posted that although the Dow could go down to the mid-7-thousands, I thought it would remain in the narrow range it was in at that time.

I want to admit I was wrong.

I was on vacation last week, so this is the first chance I've had to come clean.

I moved some money into the market in March-May, took it back out in July. Then moved a wee little back into stocks in September, and am glad I moved slowly.

I thought of putting a little more back in today, but may take a closer look tomorrow.

But I continue to move slowly.

One point that isn't clear here, is mentioned at length by the column. This is in regards to gold. Do insiders have knowledge to know that gold can and possibly will be sold big time to make good their short positions. Are they possibly ones who can do it? One thing that has kept gold down in price is not being tied to a standard. Countries have been freed to to sell it. There is plently around in the vaults. A lot could be dumped at once. This has happened in the last 10 years. Maybe someone around here who knows more could clear this point up.
