Active,   Well you have blown me away. Try a blunt and some Merlot? I had thought you were one of the more reasonable guys on this blog. Well I am a libertarian, and don't believe the government spending is going to help us.

Active Ira,   We need to chat. Not ure how we can get together. I have about 500k that I am managing. Not sure how we can accomplish this.   Set up a GMAIL account? Thanks, JFM

Active Ira,   Help me out here.   1 year ago I had 400 shares of GLD and 2,000 shares of SLV + 300 shares of SLW.   I have sold into the rally.  Now I have 300 of GLD, 1,000 of SLV and 200 of SLW.   Where do I go now. I hate U.S. stocks, still like Precious metals.   Thanks, JFM

Volker fan,   NAZI was national Socialism. So yes they were socialist. They were also Fascist.  And you might want to read "Liberal Fascist" Fascism has nothing to do with political philosophy. It simply means using the Corpus body. It is not pro corporation.   I continue to buy GLD, SLV

Moneywise,   Could not disagree with you more. The market is made up of millions of people making their choices all the time. You really believe this is manipulated?   How bout a thought that this is a random walk, and we can't predict the future?   Still buying GLD and SLV.

Moneywise,   I disagree with you. I don't know who is predicting that the DOW will fall as much as you put in your post. I understand you are being sarcastic.   Are you really not concerned about the sovereign debt issue?   I continue to buy GLD, SLV, PRPFX

Tons of comments about climate change , God, etc. Please read "The black Swan". These systems are chaotic, not predictable.   Sorry folks, we can't predict the stock market or climate. Too complex.

Wow, lot's of contovery about GM. Well not buying GM. Buying GLD.SLV.SLW, TBT. Rates going up, dollar going down.   Taxes going up, spending going up.

Bizown,   Not Munis, but look at TBT, Treasuries
