Alll of the Can stocks I follow are up nicely. All of my US pm stocks are down. Gold and silver are creamed as they enter the new jerk market.

Can it be any more clear that this is politics. S desperate attempt to make things in the Us appear the way the administration would like? An attempt to bend the world to the desires of the criminal, ego-centric, self anointed elite?

I just have to shake my head and wonder. Do they think that no one sees? ... that no one cares? ... that it is their right to screw anyone or anything that does not fit their plans? .. that there are not other entities in the world that can oppose them? ... that lies and cheating are more powerful than truth and integrity?

Who are today's role models for our kids? They aren't in DC, in new york, or on a sport team. I know many good human beings who are honest hard working family men. They are completely anonomous. The pms are one of the few honest items that we can find and they are vilified. The people who tout the pms are treated like the tin hat crowd. We seem surrounded.

I need to find a ray of hope to hang onto. I need to turn off the boob tube and hang around with the good people in the neighborhood. I have to say, I really the posters on this site and a few other sites I frequent. It doesn't matter if I agree with everything/anything posted, I believe that most here have honest opinions and generously share with us. It is a heartening experience to be among people who you can trust even if I meet very few of them face to face. Thanks my friends.
