Guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 . . . The one that probably bothers me the most is this so-called ?strong dollar policy.? When President Clinton embarked on the strong dollar policy back in 1995 the US Dollar Index stood at 82. Roughly six years later it topped out at 125, went sideways for a year, and in just the last two years it has fallen about 30% to just about where it began in 1995. The U.S. dollar has been hammered over the last two years and on Monday we heard from Robert Nichols, a Treasury Department spokesman. According to Reuters, Mr. Nichols was asked why the dollar?s value had continued to erode and his answer was, ?There?s no change in our strong dollar policy.? To me his answer really sounds like this: The sky is green! No, it?s blue. As I said, the sky is green. The sky is green because I say it is green . . .

Calculus Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Another day of panic in the Mining sector no doubt. Please keep selling 'traders' I'm working bids all the way down. And for anyone who hasn't sold yet why are you still sitting in a LOSERS sector, go where the WINNERS hang out (and are making the big bucks) in four letter land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned38 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 My apologies to this board A couple of days ago, in response to Wndy's selling off his miners, I posted a GSS chart and suggested it wasn't the best time to sell. I was dead wrong, GSS went down quite a bit more. I hope no one looked at that chart and held or bought because of it...........if so I am very sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
