And here I thought reference to the "100th monkey" was to the newest member of this board!

Believe me, I feel like a monkey lately!

Oh, that stuff about the the trains with shackles, etc. - total nonsense, and definitely in the context in which it was cast. IMO, of course.

While I believe our logic and analysis of the world economic scene has been and continues to be as accurate as any, I have never bought into the conclusion that gold will rise as the result of the coming problems; I think it will, I think it should, but I'm far from as certain as you other 99 monkeys!
