We've heard other stories much like this, all baloney. Remember the one reported about Paulson being gone and a look-alike imposter was in his place? I guess it goes with the territory of Secretary of the Treasury.

BTW, many posts here sound like many that were posted last time this kind of crap happened. We all know it, it's part of the game that we've chosen to play. Most here were very comfortable and at ease with the thought of $2,000 gold, maybe as early as a month or so from now. A little reality hammer got delivered today. Not to say we won't rally very strongly in the days and weeks to come, but never forget this stuff can happen at any time.
