Why get uptight about the Milk already spilt. XQZ the pun....

The only thing he will do by going is to wreck the market. Thats all, well and the Presidency but then that aint worth sqwat if the American public dont through him out, which seems unlikelly.

Our FBI director probably moved up several notches post Monicagate in his battle with Janet Reno, the latter of whom I think has been partially or totally compromised. Has a serious medical problem and needs retirement medical support.

I wonder -- the Paula Jones trial post Monicagate is going to be a show stopper!

Did you hear what Paul Harvey said this morning on

In Hashimoto's defense, he may be finally getting somewhere with his musclebound bureaucracy -- it's about time isn't it -- since 1990 without real resolution of their problems. I wonder, is our economic system strong enough to go for nearly 9 years without wilting or worse?

We are a nation of gamblers, with economic strength coming from our diversity. Perhaps we have such bad crashes -- despite our strong economic system, because we gamble too much -- in business and the markets, as well as in other things. We were the last to fall in 1929 -- we may be the last to collapse again -- but we have nowhere near the percentage of savings stashed away this time. Even in the 30's things were real bad -- hard to think of what they may be like this time around -- when the rest of the world recovers before us. Just a guess, IMHO.

Now -- the key question is whether I still get cut off midsentence!

I must have been a bad boy! The only intact post of the day was that surprise about the Clinton nomination for the Nobel peace prize. In my later truncated post, I tried to tell Kiwi that he better get that prize real fast!

The market is really wild, isn't it? Gold and silver stocks are vanishing from the comex, impending riots in Indonesia, Saddam thumbing his nose at the US, Clinton in deep trouble, and Isreal and Palestine going at it! And the DOW goes up? Who is buying? Is it the pros trying to shake out the shorts? Some of these shorts will hang on until the DOW reaches 8500! Going on vapor as Maverick would say.

They better give BC that Nobel peace prize this week! You title I like better -- does it go with the

In response to the question of why I waited so long to stop the promotional messages I offer the following:

Because vronsky's site offers a wealth of gold-related information AND nobody else was copying his marketing strategy, I let it go. It's just recently that more people got the idea that using the group could be an effective advertising medium and started using it as such. I don't blame them. To prevent a commercial free-for-all an additional netiquette guideline was added. If the rule doesn't apply to everyone, it doesn't work.

And you know the rest...

Hey, at least we have one thing in common - just like you, I like sailing ;- )

By the way, I read one interesting thing in the book I have that describes how to go back on the gold standard. One of the economists states that gold is transferred from CB to CB with

You have heard mention of the recent upheavals in

the land of Russia laid at the feet of Ronald Reagan

because of his promotion of the concept of star wars

( soon to become a major motion picture ) . Actually

much credit should go to my namesake Disney for the

preparation of the animations of star wars as that

was what star wars consisted of.

The russians lost their morale BECAUSE they did not have

the technology to make similar ANIMATIONS.

By the way, on my journey to the oasis of Huf Huf,

I encountered two Chinese people. They were wearing

sun glasses and sand shoes. I enquired their purpose

in the desert, and they said they were opening a

Chinese laundry. They offerred to clean my robes.

I pointed out that there was no water, but they

claimed they would Dry clean my robes with SAND. They

said many more Chinese were coming but they were

WAITING FOR EQUIPMENT. I dont know why, but the

story rings false to me. Can you offer any advice,

my brother.

I have received the results of most of the RSA ( except

DDeeps - Gengold just in today - all numbers in Rand.

Beatrix 0.29 eps versus 0.27 last quarter

Evander loss 1.49 versus loss .72 prior quarter

St Helena 1.845 profit versus 0.16 prior quarter.

I make thee this pitiful offerring as a token of

my great respect for thee.

Now a certain son of a rug dealer has been heard to

say in the souk at Huf Huf that I am a propagandist

for something or other. My brothers - IF you hold

NA mines I want you to keep them. I NEVER want to

bear the responsibility upon my tiring shoulders of

guiding the actions of a brother. I merely ask that

you remember my words, and learn by your own

experiences. Do Not Buy South African stocks UNless

you already own them.

I make the following forecasts for NA mines should

Gold go by fortunate circumstance to $450/oz

ABX from 19.5 to $40

Amax - a dark future

Battle Mountain a dark future

Cambior little change

Echo Bay collapse

Homestake from $12 to $3

Newmont from 32 to 40

Placer Dome from 13 to 12

Prime R - I see many dissapointments

Royal Oak - excercise GREAT caution

TVX - see Royal Oak

In other words - I see dissapointment looming - ABX

should prevail - Newmont survive . But true bedouin

would prefer cash or the metal in some form ( I

believe but then effendim I am probably mistaken in

my poor judjment ) .

BUT KEEP THEM YOUR NA script_ JUST REMEMBER WHAT I

SAID _ DONT SELL THEM _ Listen to the advice of the

nameless son of the rug dealer in the souk at Huf Huf.

I used a beautiful mohogany with green velvet inside. Complete with alarms and search lights in case of burglars. And my BIG doberman is on twenty four hour guard ( he likes thighs ) . So get that coin here soon. I am spending a great deal of money on 'security' for an empty box. Tickets are currently on sale for a ( twice ) daily 'showing' of the coin. We have 'forward sold' for 1¼ days already. By the time the coin gets here I should have the second day filled to capacity. Anyone want tickets Price is negotiable..........uh huh.

Would you know if those calls were naked or covered? ( Sounds like I might be talking about that women and BC ) . If they were covered and the silver comes from sources other than Comex then it would not have to be purchased. But if they were naked, in the money and the silver called then there would be some scrambling to supply the silver. Any more info?

South African gold miners are the only people that die

I'm very relieved to hear that and will stay well away of

the mines in future.

Ayeeeeeeeee Yaeiiii Yaeiiiii

I noted with fear that you quoted your bread price

in US $. Have your lands already fallen to these wild and

warlike barbarians in their never endending quest for gold,

oil, and young maidens for their leader's nefarious purposes ?

I trust not enshal'lah. And may I have that price in terms

of your native currency. May your loaves increase -

Al'lah O Akbar

Camel driver of the dungheaps of the fly infested

market place. I thank thee for thy offering of the

statement from thy marvellous mine called Placer Dome.

It was truly a miraculous report. I was

dazzeled and I wept with joy for the shareholdes

of this mighty endeavor. I was somewhat puzzeled

however when reading that this Placer lost $1.06 per

share with a average price for the noble metal for the

year of over 325$/oz. I am sure that this is some

mistake, or perhaps the fault of my failing eyesight.

I laughed with happiness to hear that this placer

has such low cash cost - 200 per ounce - or less -

they are so mighty I believe they can reduce their

cash costs to zero if they wish.

However - with these costs where they are and with

their truly astonishing hedge programs - I cannot

get it out of my mind that they LOSE over one dollar

per share at an average gold price of 325 ( that is

many dinars my brother )

But Im sure these numbers are wrong ensal'lah.

after all al'lah is merciful - sometimes.

PGM mines - The mines here are really shallow.

The huge Amplat deposits start at 100 meters and they

work down to about 1000 meters at most.

The mine I own is northam ( the only marginal PGM

mine Ive ever found. It's breakeven cost is about

380/400 $/oz and the deposit starts at about 1200/1300

meters. It is highly leveraged to the platinum price

and if you're crazy enough, there are options on it

too.

Also - What is the price of the simplest most

basic bottom of the line loaf of bread in the US.

Also Canada if anyone knows -

Also for Salty NZ and Australia.

In looking at currencies and relative values, we

all know the Hamburger standard. But they screw it

up now with tie in deals like free coke or extra

greasy fries - so how about the BREAD standard -

NOT to REPLACE GOLD but simply to assess relative

values of currency. Hard to apply asia ( rice factor ) .

But Ok Europe except maybe France ( french loaf ) PLUS

Govenment subsidies to farmers. Anyways lets try.
