Guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Join the anti-clutter movement, enlighten your friends with this one also! . . . Back to our "stuff". The US has been called The Mouth of the world. We consume more than anyone else on the planet. I am all for consumption and a high standard of living (especially my own high standard of living). The problem is that we are borrowing from our "poor overseas cousins" to be able to continue to purchase our "stuff" (most of which we do not even need). Only in the US would someone charge an ugly sweater that no one will ever wear on their visa card and then finance it for the next 10 years long after it has been donated to Goodwill! I believe a person or a country can spend its money any way it sees fit to do so. I just think that a person or a country is far down the road to ruin whenever it has to borrow money from others to buy useless "stuff" that it can not afford to pay for out of its own wallet . . .

Guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yep, totally agree with that article Glad.... mind you I do admit to having a cluttered house but that's because everyone I know keeps giving me stuff they don't want or regard my place as some sort of storage facility. I need an article on "How To Say No (nicely)"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slothrop Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 For the first time in 2 and a half years, I am without a single mining stock in the portfolio. It's as if I've broken up with a girl friend of long standing. "End of the relationship" quality. I'm walking around lost and confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks that the gold stocks will bottom out in 2 - 5 more days. Everyone is looking for a outright collapse in the gold price, since it hit the 1997 highs of $412. Notice how it has drifted down last night, but it hasn't "crashed". Once people realize that the gold price isn't going to crash, they will start buying gold shares again. Of course, if the gold does fall down the elevator shaft, and high volume selling on the gold shares continue, then the bull market is over for now. I'm still holding core positions in the Screamers: BGO, GSS, WHT, CDE. I dumped everything else. If we get confirmation of a bottom soon, I might roll the dice and add more to the screamers rather than buy GG, GLG, NEM, etc...... Market is definitely psycho. No stock is safe..........
