which, for years now have been underpinned by the collective, cumulative reading of many expert gold analysts and chartists. Also kudos to the many well informed and knowledgeable posters here who have genrously offered a gourmet buffet of well thought out opinons and credible reference material for many years. My thanks to you all.

So, for me, it has come down to 'THE STALKER', a long time, amazingly accurate source for Bill Murphy in his LeMetropole Cafe daily newsletter, whiich in itself is an amazing library of the history of gold and most importantly, the manipulation of same for so many years. If ever there is a court set up to convict the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in the history of man, Bill's LeMetropole Cafe along with GATA.ORG, are the best sources of documentation that exist.

So with last night's Cafe letter, I have decided to go with 'the Stalker' who is expecting a very slow summer for gold with a drastic change to the upside in the Fall. I am thinking that late August/Sept. it will kick off but whatever, best to be positioned by then.

We that are left may finally be able to pack up our shovels, get onto our Asses and move forward to the promised land of gold as an investment. All the digging is done.
