You can't value gold stores unless you know the amount of all outstanding debt. I don't anyone can count that high is why they don't peg gold to fiat, willingly.

....The first gold shipments were made from January to July 1937. The majority of the United States' gold reserves were gradually shipped to the site, including old bullion and more newly made bars made from melted gold coins. Some intact coins were stored, as well. The transfer needed 500 rail cars and was sent by registered mail, protected by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

During World War II, the repository held the original U.S. Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. It also held the reserves of several European countries and several key documents from Western history; for example, it held the Crown of St. Stephen, part of the Hungarian crown jewels, given to American soldiers to prevent them from falling into Soviet hands. The repository also held one of four known copies (exemplifications) of Magna Carta, which had been sent for display at the 1939 New York World Fair, and which, when war broke out, was kept in America for the duration.

During World War II and on into the Cold War, until the invention of synthetic painkillers, a substantial supply of processed morphine and opium was kept in the Depository as a hedge against the United States being cut off from the sources of supply of raw opium.

First this is not our Hypertiger from the stool . He was a male Canadian

Most of the things she writes are at least half the truth and plausible.

But I ask myself ; why are we in the west all poor ? Because we spend and we spend
money we did not own on things that we did not need and which are now broken and not
paid for .We are like somebody who bought a car on installements and drove it against a tree and still has to pay 3 years for nothing left.
In other words we are going to suffer for another ten years before we have caught up
with the money we spent on needless things .

China was producing silk and chinese ink and calygraphy long before us . All they need is raw materials which they can pay for with the mountain of dollars they have in reserve.
We will be providing them with the techonology they need . Chinese are a saving nation and at the same time they need all "basic" things we have ; like cars . A car is probably the last thing a bankrupt person looses because it is his freedom and he allways has had one . So I think the Chinese will be doing very well ; in fact not worse then we did after
the industrial revolution : better and more things for every chinaman . Also they are getting
a lot out of Africa and if they are clever can sell a lot back there ; later on .

We are doomed for at least 10 more years of pain and writing about China or anybody else
being in dire straits is not going to help us. Basically it is like Jim Sinclair says
Pay off all your debts and stop buying on credit and hunker down for the storm which is coming. Nobody is going to save us because we all are to busy saving ourselves .

I am not saying Hypertigers rantings are wrong ; I am only saying that if we go down alone or with China does not change anything to the fact we are in trouble

Just my humble opinion

Well construction was down 5.9% in February. Is it me or are they stuck on 5.9 percent when handing out figures?  Anyway, construction was down not because the "recovery" is a transvestite butt gerbil but because of that unexpectedly surprising snow and cold up north. You know,  who could have seen that cold and snow  coming in February?

Dear America: Maybe we shouldn't blast Mexicans so much.  At least they accept the the truth that they live in a country that is bankrupt and corrupt to the core.

Public "education" in America was the brain child of Rockefeller, Carnegie and Henry Ford. It was never intended to teach kids anything accept regimentation to an assembly line. Guess people were just as gullible back then too. "Shazammm, Andrew wants my chill 'un to become book learnt. What a good fella he is."  Ha, ha, they fell for that one so easily they bought in the federal reserve system next.

They should take all the money that would go to public schools and build public libraries. You can actually learn something  there. Or use the "information highway"  for something useful like ordering books on ABE and Amazon.  

All they need in Kalifornia is Mao's Little Red Book. How long can it take to read that?

It really doesn't matter what you read. The (governments governed by a select few filthy rich hiding in the wings) have orchastrated it all and they won't quite until they have every one, all over the world, on their knees begging to be saved. It has been the plan all along and now we are seeing the early stages. The ones to suffer the least will be the poor as they are already used to no work and no money. They already count on the government to bail them out!! We are next!

I get a kick out of the new advertisements claiming there is now a movement to do away with free TV. Wonder who is behind that? DISH TV and CABLE TV? With the help of government they will get it done. Who in the right mind would NOT want FREE anything? My grandfather always told me to take anything free that was offered to me. He said, "You may not know it but you have or will pay for it anyway so take it!"

We used to pay for having a TV tax  and then it was made free for a few years and now we pay not for having a TV but for the cable bringing the TV to our home . And guess what ? We pay like double for the cable then we did for the TV . The government looses the income and we pay double nice deal ?

My city which has a mayor and majority I never ever voted for have given the parking rights to a french company . They were too stupid to empty the parking meters themselves . This company now has 8 people walking around the city all day and writing "tickets" of 15 euro for everybodies parking meter showing a red flag or for anybody not having a parking "disc" on his car dash ( 1.5 hrs free parking witht the disc ) However they also own the three parking garages and the one on the marketsquare got so expensive that tourists complained . Solution of the city ? Every car parked there now gets a 0.10 euro
bonus to the french company so they do not have to raise the price ( for how long ? )

Parking in front of my house now requires a special card issued by those french . This will be free for two years . How much after that ? I don't know but I fear the worst

It is quite hypocritical to call them IOU's

At least we have a system were the working pay directly for the retired
No pretence we ever paid for our own retirement
Those that are presently working pay for my retirment ; everything I paid
went to one retired person one sick person and one not wanting to work person
So I supported three persons because paying is % of salary
Getting pension is now max like 1600 euro net unless you are an ex government
"worker" you get 20% more pension

6 weeks ago I said the relative gold high would be 8 or 19 march
8 was formulated on the basis of the surprise december high ( should have been jan)
19 was formulated on the basis of 9 years past history

Looks like the statistics are back to normal and 19 march is a serious contender again
( or with luck a few days later and 20 $ higher )

I believe it was his brilliant aides who explained American economics to him-- 50% of the country is zombified and either living on welfare or parked in the park with the A/C running and reading a newspaper. The second 50% of the country is supporting the zombified 50%. So if you want to pay off the national debt you have to get the third  50% of the country to do that.  They're hoping to locate that third 50% through the census. That way the census bureau will have something to do for the next nine years.  

If that doesn't work they could always  sell out the country to china. Anyone find a Mao toll booth in their driveway yet?

Hey what happened to those "great investments" that Knobhead made for us through TARP? Are those in the warehouse or have they been "misplaced."

[Paint Your Wagon]

You are lucky that 50% is working for the other 50%
Here it is 25% working for the other 75% ( and I am now in the 75%  )

One of our ministers must have at least one braincell left because he proposed to let
those above 65 work voluntarily for as much money as they can get ( just paying taxes

It's hard to value Sinclair's company when he takes no salary and contributes millions to his own cause creates a smoke filled room for the accountants.

Tx
I used to be an Hi Fi fanatic and I got KEF 107 reference loudspeakers
Reference loudspeakers are used by recording studios to judge their recordings
I know somebody in Germany who got a recording studio

My amp is an american phase linear of twice 1500 watt peak . you can fry eggs on it
if you use it in a discotheque without coolers
750 watt twice RMS ( root mean square which means it can output that all day long )

I once tried to open it to 250 watt in my living and my ears achked for a week and the windows were actually , visibly vibrating .

My neighbour is Japanese and her brother works for Matsushita ; the american pre amp
has lousy copper vacuum relays in them because the Japanese did not export the good stuff ( too expensive to make a profit I guess ) So I got a dozen gold plated relays from her

My record player is a Lynn Sondek 12 with moving coil pick up and pre pre amp

When I put the system togehter I assumed a 0.5 % of the power making it to the amps as sound . Which for labyrinth loudspeakers and left and right cut off amplifier curves was normal . However the phase linear does not use cut off to get a straigth amplification curve but uses brute force to get a straight amplification curve . On top of that the loudspeakers are computer designed to give optimum rendement which is 2%
In other words I overdesigned by a factor 10 ( story of my life , I allways try to be perfect were 80% of perfection is optimal for cost and effort reasons )

Haven't listen to anything with vacuum tubes for years but miss the warmth. I have decent computer sound cards to keep me entertained with downloaded music, movies, DVDs and whatnot.

I was looking at Ebay Indian head $10 coins but good condition headbands bring high prices and  I only see a few Krugerrands for bid.

Close enough on the highs prediction. NG spiked again for a double top except RGLD so far is up today which is usually a leader (backdoor buying?), go figure maybe some miners won't track spot lower. Still traveling in a large range $1050 - $1150 for a month on this side of the pond wouldn't be a surprise to me.

There is an engineering law in optimizing that says you have to start at the back and work your way up front and optimize again at each intermidiate step

first step in optimization . But I kid you not when I say a pair of Sennheiser headspeakers

PYW......looks like you were right on the money with your last prediction.  After missing the one in Dec. I  think I'll cash in this morning and then see what happens next.

Did anyone happen to catch the news related to old Fess Parker?  Seems that he cashed in and took the trip to the happy hunting ground. He will be missed.

Yes statistics are just that even if you are 99.8 % right there is 0.2% disaster possible if you play it all on the one card . I was 95% shure and lost in decembre 2009 . But it looks
like we are back to the "old" statistics and that the "new" statistic do not hold .
However this time around I am going to be carefull with a november high and octobre and decembre will be equal opportunities forecasts ( keeping januari in memory )

In statistics there is the concept of a pre fact prediction and a post fact adaption
If you predict 90% certainty of a baby being born in may and when it is not born in may
de post facto prediction drops to zero for may and the june prediction shoots up from 10% to 99 % ( if the baby is still alive )

PYW......looks like you were right on the money with your last prediction.  After missing the one in Dec. I  think I'll cash in this morning and then see what happens next.

Did anyone happen to catch the news related to old Fess Parker?  Seems that he cashed in and took the trip to the happy hunting ground. He will be missed.

NG gets relisted on the TSX.

I certainly didn't dump everything even though I had the chance, I do have some spending money to re-weight my favorite miners when the time comes.

Have, rarely use, Sennheiser HD 280 pro headphones I'd rather feel the highs through my cheek bones and the lows rumble through the air. Klipsch makes some ear canal phones for $300us that everyone swears by but I hardly ever use the one I have.

I always thought about making a sound proof room but I'd probably end up going deaf.

That german guy I know with his recording studio has a sound proof room .
It is weird to hear the music over reference loudspeakers in a soundproof room.

All you need for good listening is a room twice as long as it is wide and like 12 meter long or longer
( I guess that is 40 feet ) with a mixture of reflective surfaces and absorbant surfaces
and then you put your seat at half distence of the separation of the two loudspeakers
at 6 meter wide that would be 3 meters away from the midpoint
( the other 9 meters are necessary for the 20 Hz waves to be felt where you sit )

I studied sound for 5 years and try to forget  
I am a maniac at everything I do

I have told my girl friend REPEATEDLY to quit posing for you folks in Europe. Seems I can't keep nothing to myself! I might add I was approached last week to do the photo shoot, over a period of weeks in my spare time, for a very seductive 12 month calendar. I had to give it at least 15 seconds of hard thought before agreeing to offering my services. If I do end up with this opportunity I will most likely post photos here for your professional opinions. For what it is worth the model is 30 years old (I have not met her) and very willing to be photographed in such a way to make sure the calendars are successful? I wonder what that means?

I will keep you posted as negotiations continue of this Close Encounter of the Third Kind?

We are at a crossroads were it between inflation and deflation, deflation would win and all things everywhere including gold would fall in price as a serious world wide depression set in. Enter hyper-inflation where the only thing that falls is confidence in fiat. This is what you are betting on to happen.

I sold what I felt needed to be sold and hope the remaining cores are at basis costs far lower than any short term correction can take them to. The next 30 days should be buying opportunities until it is determined to be obvious that the only temporary fix for the banking system's debt is hyper-inflation.

Even the extremely weak miners will recover but not yet.

I don't care about short term corrections ( six month ). I rode Echo Bay down 90% and ended with a gain of 10% net when Kinross toke it over . I believe in whatever scenario gold will be gold ; inflation or deflation.
I am to stupid to scare ; so nobody is going to get my shares cheap

I am going to bet that the "november" high is going to be the starting mother of all highs
In the meantime should mines drop 25% I will use my emergency reserves  .
I still battle with myself to determine the relative high is in or not . But the nex 30 days
should be ( a last ? ) buying op

That's why some people trade and dump shares at any sign of a loss or close out all of their positions daily so they don't have to sit and wait and hope a bull market will save them. I'm doing better playing NG NGD movements than buying and holding albeit I only trade 20% of the shares.

I had ORA and LSG but moved on to move obscure bets like SGSVF STVZF OKOFF (pinksheets) because I'm just a wild an crazy guy. If NG doesn't start tanking in its usual 5% moves anymore I'll really start over-weighting it.

Debt is not so bad and neither is deflation it's liquidation that's the killer.

On Toronto and US markets I pay minimum 35$ comission and then 0.9% plus another
0.9% money exchange . So on a 3500$ order I pay like 1.9% one way. No pink sheets
for me . The banks are allready killing me with a thousand cuts the way it is . Taking
european registration of the shares and let the bank holding them is costing another 250$ a year . Delivery is forbidden by law since most people inheriting bonds and shares forget
to declare them . So no more physical delivery of bonds and shares only Belgian registration .

I was wild and crazy in call and put options twice . And I trippled my money twice and then lost all when I ran out of ideas . So now I use statistics in everything

Well, thanks for the preview August. Always wanted to know where the US will gravitate towards next. Between Euroland and Canada I can see my future clearly now.

Have some RGLD certs in holding with comutershares.com just to lazy to tell them to send them to me. RGLD normally a leader in overall mining performance has been building off a base, probably corrects first before breaking out above all time highs soon. Deflation appears to be winning until hyper-inflation kicks in, not so much an illusion as it is reality.

NG has good support around $6.85 a floor near $6 doubt Soros and Paulson allow it to go that low, could add back here and be perfectly satisfied but I'll wait a little longer.

The bill, which Mr Obama is expected to sign into law early this week, will extend coverage to 32m Americans now uninsured, meaning that 95 per cent of Americans will be covered by 2016. Declaring that this “isn’t radical reform, but it is major reform”, Mr Obama said the bill’s passage vindicated his decision to ignore the pundits and stick to the task.

Yeah, you might try Euro Ebay because Klipsch had an older version of Promedia 2.1 with a 230v plug, all models had a known defect at the male 6 pin DIN plug that is cured by replacing the DIN plug if you are good at soldering might help you to pickup the speakers cheap. Or maybe a converter.  4.1 good. 5.1 known for running hot in the sub panel and burning up a daughter card that can be repaired and a fan added internally.

You're tell'in its no fun soldering DIN plugs. I threw the first three repair plugs away ($1.49 each) until I got it right (even put shrink tubes on the six connections) and only burnt myself once.

With the G added at the end you only clean Orpan files

And lo and behold I got 9 giga space back in 10 seconds
