I heartily agree. Negative posts from the likes of fforest are almost mean spirited at this time. We have enough collective angst today over the gyrations in the markets. It is difficult enough to accentuate the positive while being as objective as possible... while simultaneously dealing with the most manipulated markets in history. Emotions are now running very high to extreme and far beyond my favorite word "palpable". We are now seeing the formative expression of reactive excess in response to the illegal activities that are engendered in almost every financial activity on earth, most especially in the U.S. Admin. and markets. The evil will now begin to vent itself on the other side of the equation as we witness today the death threats to Jamie Dimon of J.P.Morgan. They expected otherwise??? This, I fear, is only just a sample of that which is to come as anger amongst the middle class in the U.S begins to boil over and become collective in its thrust.

Many here are financially healthy while may others are not. Those who know the story of gold/silver and such value investments as ECU, and who may now be pressed to the brink due to the desperation of those who have created this mess, by wayof the wholesale suppression of the PMs and JPMs via concentrated shorting and covert naked shorting are now feeling much pain.

I believe Jim Sinclair may be right with his mssive this morning. But, for those who are just plain worn out, who have waited far beyond expectation, who are financially distressed and who are not invested for the next 20 years, I believe some sensitivity is in order. We have all been victimized by crime here ladies and gentlemen and it must eventually be vindicated. I believe the markets will do that once natural forces take over...as they will. Trying to time it is almost impssiel...but it may be unexpected and sudden.

For those who are seriously hurting, please hang in there and know that you have my understanding and support, and the support of many here who have spent so much of their time and effort in believeing in the potential that truly exists with such projects as ECU ... and who hnestly believe in the undeniable truth that gold is the only true currency that ever existed.
