I could totally be off the mark with this one, but is it possible that Jim's count down is in fact a reference to potential bank closures? He obviously can't say it as literally as this, but does make reference to "loss in confidence" of the US dollar. What better loss of confidence then bank closures. Having read the 1st 100 pages of "Our Crowd", one can see how he would know.

Also, Alf's price objectives and Armstong's timing. How does this line up? Is it Wave 3 up at $3500 into January-June of 2011 (Jan being Sinclair's call for minimun of $1650)?

Then we would see the $10000 plus around 2015 for wave 5?

Full disclosure. I bought Kimber at the start of this year, but didn't like the pirce action, so I sold it and bought SVM, ATW and TMM instead. (2 out of 3 ain't bad). I'm here because I enjoy this board.

On a more serious note, does anyone have any decent drills I could use for my son's basketball team, ages 10-11? I think I just got suckered into being the assistant coach :) Considering I live about 10 minutes away from Naismith's birth place I should know this, but I look forward to any ideas.

Can't honestly say I'm a religious fellow, but I recall a conversation I had with the VP of Finance at the small Hi-tech company I was working at 10 years ago. He was a very devout Christian and one day pointed out to me ( not sure why) that the bible had plans for Russia (The big bear from the north). Now remember, this was the late 90's when Russia was falling apart so it was hard to take seriously. Interesting that since then Russia has emerged and continues to emerge as a great power (menace) for anyone who gets in their way.

Just some thoughts, observations and questions for all to ponder.
