Thanks, RGR.  I can use some luck.  Reno is always a BIG challenge to an ameteur bowler.  A loss of 30-40 pins from average is not at all unusual.    I figure that it is just like shooting, except that a HUGE slow […]

“That was before the latest price slams, have not checked lately.  Should ax about a big order  :D”
 
OK, RGR… ax away.   lol

“…you may want to avoid ‘targets’ such as wherewithall to acquire ‘a monster box’ and rather weight your trading co-ordination more on mine delivery cycles of ore.”
 
Actually, Pat, that was a […]

Whatever the case, Charlie, it’s good to tell the truth because you never have to remember or worry about what you are saying to whom. lol

“They will sell to me now at Spot +1% 
but not @Spot or Below. That is the best they can do now, with a supplier. Still purdy good!”
 
Hell, that qualifies as DAMN GOOD in my book.  It’s nice to have friends in […]

@undeRGRound
 
Yeah that seems to fit the annoying pricks, alright.  lol
 

True enough, Pat, but making money, even with paper, is one way to generate the capital to buy PMs and other very desirable things.  I am shorting the yen and have a paper profit in excess of $10k now.  When this […]

Exactly right, UD.  Start at the bottom and start squeezing some balls until we hear a falsetto canary tuning up.  It is amazing at how much truth comes out when one who was party to an event has an opportunity to […]

Well, I am wondering why this story doesn’t have a happy ending… something along the lines of “British soldier shoots terrorist dead!”.
 

Forget the truckload and consider that Argentina has some very nice seaports.  :-)
 

I will sell him all 10 of my 1-oz. gold Maples for a mere $400k… a bargain!  ;-)
 

The OPECers ain’t anyone’s friend.  lol
 
 

“The disgusting part is that the government / banks are, with eyes wide open and with full knowledge, gutting the mining industry.”
 
All the better to buy them out of bankruptcy for pennies on the dollar.  All […]

“If the silver price increases 20% to $30, that extra $5 goes directly to the bottom line. This doubles the company’s profits from $5 to $10. The silver price increases 20%; the profits rise nearly 100%—that is […]

“My advice: Keep a journal. These are interesting times; possibly not to be repeated in many, many generations.”
 
My advice:  Pray that the nonsense that is now in vogue passes from humanity forever.

“PS on the SHFT.com site there is a post about a move to rewrite the Diagnotic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorder, allowing the includsion of many new disorders.”
 
I take it that liberalism, socialism, […]

Well, let’s all look at it like it is… the Fed whaps up from thin air billions of dollars in fake fiat money.  They then trade this to the Gov that has whapped up  billions of dollars worth of UST bonds, also […]

Yeah, I can see it now… “We can’t give out any more free Obama phones because those damned silver stackers have hoarded it all and there is none left for our vital electronics industry!”.  OK, so if something is […]

“Ben Franklin said it best.”
 
Old Ben had a lot of great things to say, no doubt, but for my money, Patrick Henry was THE man!  :-)
 
 

That’s just it, Dang.  They DO NOT have the money!  These derivatives are leveraged bets, so share some parentage with fractional reserve banking and gold storing.  If a bet is leveraged 100 to 1, all that is […]
