Beav..

You say...

The US economy is in worse shape than the media is telling us. Vast amount of debt without any visible chance of growing the economy fast enough to pay for it. That debt is expanding rapidly every second of every day. The US has a lot further to fall.....

With you there 100%..and from personal observation ,it seems to me that Mr Joe Average US citizen..educated ..employed..and above average wage earner has no clue about what is happening in the real world..of economics..politics ..finance ..and overall state of individual country's ..including their own..huge debt and deficit..and their wealthiest citizen,Warren Buffet, paying 17.5% income tax...and ..and...and...

I just came back from two weeks in the mid west USA and can tell you from numerous meetings and conversations with middle class US citizens,with most of their manufacturing jobs gone out of the country..unemployment at 10%..smugglers and boarder hoppers coming into their country like a river of starving rats..their housing markets in shambles..the second biggest house builder in the US..Pulte..ready to go into receivership..

Their government grid locked and useless..and more interested .in the never ending stupid election process ,and getting them selves elected or re-elected..their knowledge of world affairs is dismal...BUT ...ask anything about college basketball and they can write a book on it..

And that was the main conversation around the pool and bar..

Talk about blinders on...unbelievable ..if you haven't seen it with your own eyes..and I have..sad..

But with gold still climbing PDG has ounces in the ground and more being found and counted so eventually PDG should be worth a little more than it is today..unless they mis manage what few funds we have left.,..

The worst thing that could happen now..other than poor drill results..is a reverse split..

Have to chew on that for a while but would like to get some positive news soon.
