Have we reached the point of total man-cap?...peaking manipulation/capitulation of the PM sector? Also, it would appear that long accumulation of both PMs by the masters of the universe is very precocious. We are definitely more than a little bit pregnant now.

We invested fans are left gawking and reeling heading into the 15th round. While the crowd is left transfixed on the heavy weight action in the ring, very few notice the champagne swilling cigar smokers dressed in all their sartorial splendor high up in their luxury boxes, high fives all around. Now that is where the real show is. The match has been fixed and the next one has been scheduled.

So, what will they do? I'm just a little nervous about all the headline shills yapping up QE3 for June 23rd or whatever. It just seems too obvious. But then contrararian indicator Gartman and friends are dissing gold for all their worth...on the coat tails of Charlie 'the elder' Munger. A commentator for a PM broker out of Chicago on BNN this morning pretty well said there is just o demand for silver and it won't be going aywhere. These are mixed signals indeed my friends. Are we meant to be left totally confused right up to the end?

Then there are the charts, the ever loving, if undependable charts. But wait, there's more! In the other corner of the ring, where there is no stool, some few notice an oil slick with a 'November' outline. Add that to the grease smeared contenders and what do we get? Damned if I know. The only thing is I'm all in and I know who's going to win and even though I (we) will be a winner it's too late to top up my wager. Only the bow ties can do that. And as ugly as it will be, my (our) only revenge will be our monetary success. The dichotomy of it all is that we end up in the winner's circle with those we have loathed for well over a decade.

Place your side bets on the 15th round for June, September of least likely, November.
