I take issue with your 'emotionally balanced' comment...if it was directed at me...and don't call me paranoid...or 'Shirley'.

There is a considerable gap between justifiable 'venting' or 'anger'...and emotional stability. There is also a time to stand up and express one's opinons. What is the difference between 'indifference' and cowardice? Pretty extreme I would say.

Anyway, Pic, don't make me angry or I may become a sociopath and kick the cat or step in front of a little old lady in the grocery store. Then it will be all your fault.

Sacasm and attempted humour aside, allow me to be positiive this fine Spring morning as I have seen a sign of optimism. It may be nothing more than a omen but for the first time I've noticed, TD online trading has actually got real time (?) bid and ask for SFMI. Also, for a while now, you can buy (yes, I said 'buy') SFMI online rather than having to call the buy in. Selling has always been available.

You will notice gold/siver down again with the $US/bonds up today. There is 'no inflation' (read my lips). We are coming into the final convulsions of the gold/silver suppression...as the desperation becomes most palpable.

By year end I expect the picture to be incredibly positive...and to repeat myself, I think next year will see the biggest returns in history (much better than the late seventies) in for the JPM sector. SFMI will be part of it.
