I am in your camp Pic...but I also understand just how corrosive these irreverent markets have been on the constitutions of those of us who still believe in the undeniable virtues behind gold and silver. I'm sure the sales of Imodium and Antacids have been mint these last few years. Maybe those were "the investments" to be in.

We have been blanket bombed so often even the rocks we pull over our water logged fox holes have turned to crap and the trench foot festers. How can anyone be sure what is coming next...even for our foes on high...not that we are stressed about their particular angst. After watching that 8 minute movie...sequential to its forerunners, it is amazing that most genetically programmed PM purists have not thrown in the towel as we are reminded incessantly just how powerful and evil our would-be masters are. All that most ordinary investors can do is entrench repeatedly as they watch their ammunition deplete...and try to stay up to date on the realities, some just beneath the surface and others thrown in our faces by our tormentors.

Trouble is, when you start running out of food and water...it's not hard to get "smoked out" as one "great" president used to say to us and his daddy... "Heh, heh". Speaking of "them", conspiracy tales come to mind when rumours of their hidden Paraguay homestead atop a huge aquafir...food and water...well, water for sure....but then again it all depends on "your definition of water" pipes up Bill. Then we hear rumors of wealthy Wall streeters and "Bilderbergers" and "The Group of Seven" having walled property in exotic places and Venezuela, etc. Are they really afraid there could be lynchings down the road? I wonder what the Chinese think of all this intrigue?

Guess we should all try to watch that new movie "Inside Job" whilst the manderins are getting blow jobs with our money. That reminds me, should we overlook Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theories" ... or pause over the odd death of "Chris story"....not to forget the omniscience of an unfairly imprisoned Martin Armstrong? I'm surprised Jim Sinclair is still going so strong....along with Bill Murphy and the GATA crowd...and gaining real traction now. But then, Andrew McGuire nearly got "horizontalized" after his whistle blowing bubble at the CFTC hearings. It is all very vexxing, confusing and fatiguing...water boarding of sorts? What's real anymore?

So, back to the demoralized, bedraggled PM/JPM fraternity. Geez, we don't even have a mystic handshake and our "house mothers", the CEOs of our investments, are hiding in the basement. Every once in a while they throw a party and supply the booze for the garbage can punch...all with a nodding wink from the police.

One thing we do know, as soon as we start to weaken, to believe we are drowning, their objectives will have been met. They'rs just waiting to toss us out in the rain on a dark, stormy night. They know it cannot rain forever....no matter how many clouds they seed. No one has ever been able to hide the sun.

Our sun is the the bull market in gold and silver that is now into it's 10th year... with 10 to go....and apparently the next ones are going to be scintillating. Don't let the buggers put a damper on that!
