Ever since 1971 and more recently, when the U.S. government got involved in the manipulation of the markets, everything we see happening is not real.

The marketplace carries on as though nothing has changed; it basically follows the same criteria as before with the few exceptions of those "in the know" doing what they think is going to be beneficial for themselves.

However, what it produces is distorted results and it will get written about just like history - whoever "wins" will write and teach the future generations how to get involved in the financial game.

Ed Steer made a statement some time ago that when he regains close to what he's "out of pocket" he will never get involved again" - sentiment agreed by many, I'm sure.

So endeth the American Dream!

"We live in interesting times"

Good Luck to all!
