I agree with everything you say except there is no liquidity problem. I have friends with small busineses that have had a hard time keeping their lines of credit open without ever being late with a payment. It seems the banks want to continue to use their capital in high risk crapshoots instead of loaning the money out where it is needed. They figure if they get it right they will make huge bonuses and if they fail the government will bail them out.

The US is responsible for much of the international problems. I am not an economist nor do I pretend to understand the intruments of financial destruction the US has unleashed on the world. Our banksters should be lined up and shot along with half of Wall Street. Our President seems intent to bankrupt us with his immigration and social agendas. Our Congress continues to spend (democtats now, previously the republicans) more than we can ever repay for many generations. Our unemployment has reached levels that are critical and our masses are beginning to look for the government to be their savior with a continuing loss of freedom and liberty. Our politicians seem to be for sale to the highest bidders and few seem truly interested in doing what is right for the republic. Our country is bankrupt financially and morally. I do not blame China for any of our problems. I admire their financial acumen and believe they will be the dominate nation in the future. If other countries ever stop increasing their buying of our treasury bills and interest rates go where they belong, we are in deep do do. The dollar will crash and burn and we will no longer have the strength to protect ourselves, and even Canada will be more vulnerable as we weaken. Through this forum and my study of currencies I have learned to respect Canada and have a portion of my investments in Canadien dollars. The only problems I see with Canada from America is my impression you are too socialist and taxes are too high because of it.

Back to NOT. I gave reasons why I thought the stock has acted the way it has acted. No where did I say I agreed it should have acted that way or that I would ever sell before the fat lady sings. We have a mine and someday we should be rewarded, even if we never have another discovery which is mathematically impossible in my opinion.
