which, in the past has almost always occurred at the top or bottom. So, if my history is any guide, sell gold and silver, sell oil, buy the dollar and prepare to vote republican in November as it's 'morning in America' again.

If you believe every dog has his day, reach for the bug out bag and get moving!

You can try to debunk PO all you want...but BUY the dollar?

Mark, do you think maybe you could be a little MORE vague? We don't want to have the slightest possibility that someone might decipher your meaning...

After hearing about gasoline shortages in parts of the USA with no natural disaster, I'm starting to get the "oh shit" feeling too.

The collapse is beginning. Where are all the soft landers now? Trying to reassure us for no good reason than to feel good.

Cat: Forget red - let's go all the way up to brown alert!
Kryten: There's no such thing as a brown alert sir.
Cat: You won't be saying that in a minute! And don't say I didn't alert you!

Thats red dwarf for the uninitiated.

The pirate Captain stood at the wheel of his ship. He looked over the horizon and noticed a Navy cutter heading towards him. He turned to his first mate and said

"First mate, bring me my red shirt. We're going to be boarded."

A ferocious battle ensues. After the pirates repel the Navy boarding attempt, the first mate asks the captain "Why did you have me bring you a red shirt?"

"Because If I were wounded and the men saw me bleeding, they might lose morale and the ship could be lost. A red shirt would hide the blood stains."

Just then, a shout from the crow's nest drew the captain's attention.

"4 more Navy cutters, 6 miles off the starboard bow, captain!"

The captain turned to his first mate and said "Fetch me my brown trousers."

Oil, oil everywhere, I guess, as the price has taken a dive since my original post ( 75.17 to 71.20 currently). Gold is a slight loser and silver a slight winner (from then to now). But, it's the dollar that’s most alarming; wow, taking a hit even as interest rates edge higher.

If the dollar gives up now, we’re in a whole new ball game.

Sort of off topic, but, just spoke to a Frenchman here on business. He’s met some of our so- called leaders now in Bagdad, says they’re as stupid as a box of rocks – couldn’t even walk across the street to buy a loaf of bread, as he put it… says we’re in deep shit for decades, even centuries, as the Arabs never forget. As long as we have the power, we’ll be OK. But the moment we don’t, that’s when they’ll strike with a vengeance...

...like when our war machine runs short of gas.

[bruin]

If a million Chinese wanted to get on boats for Canada, we'd already be in it deep. Remember, the Chinese are holding down world inflation all by themselves. What exactly would all of these people would do in Canada anyways?
