Loading ...Thanks Buygold for the invite to post and thanks again for assisting me in getting access to the site. I’d love to post more. My issue is work. It stinks having to work for a living. I have a good job too, but would much rather be able to discuss the worlds problems with you all. About the time one of you post something I’d comment on, the phone rings or I need to get involved with a task and never able to take the time to add anything to the topic. I don’t miss anything you share and everyone’s contributions to this forum have not only entertained me for years but also helped me develop a much broader understanding of the world we live in. So thanks to you all. I started reading at Michael Kosares site in 2000. I’ve followed G-E and several old Kitco forums and others all this time. Watched the separation from FGC here some time back. That was painful, but necessary. So yes, you are like family in a way.
We are living in some very interesting times. It’d be healthier if I would just turn the main stream news off. Just can’t seem to quit listening to their games. Plus I’ve developed a knack for being able to tell when they are lying. It’s easy, when they telling us news, they’re lying. Some one said recently the news is not about sharing information, its about forming opinion. I may have read that here in the last few days. Seems about right to me. They either outright lying or providing information in a way intended to direct my thought to support their agendas. For example, I heard on am radio a discussion about a poll that determined x amount of Americans believe Russia to be an enemy. It was a large number like 60% or so if I remember correctly. I immediately thought really? Who do we know that has a problem with Russia? I personally wouldn’t know anyone that could help me form my opinion of whether Russia is my enemy or not. Main stream media provides that for us. They tell us Russia is the enemy. We are being played like a fiddle. They are using the good nature of mankind to manipulate and rob us blind. I too share the concern you all have for the future of our country. It is extremely disturbing for me to watch it go down like this. Reminds me of a shooting star. You know, like the finest one you ever saw. Sorta appears in the corner of your eye in the night sky. You sense it, turn toward it and stare in awe as it streaks brilliantly across the sky increasing in brightness. Just as your mind catches up and the eye becomes focused on the natural beauty of the display, it explodes in a final dazzling burst of energy. Then darkness takes back the sky and we are left wondering. Our country seems hell bent on a similar path.
I managed to comment a few weeks ago on a post Mr. Copper had shared. You folks sure know how to get me thinking. I thought on his response and read up a bit on global philanthropist and come again to the conclusion that he’s likely right on target with his ideas. Several days had passed and I had not been able to reply back. You a sharp bunch and if I can’t make the time to respond intelligently, I figure I might as well stay quiet.
This gold market has managed to take my little money on a regular basis. Apparently the bankers think keeping gold suppressed is good for the economy. If that’s the case I reckon I’ve contributed my share plus some. Those darn 3x etf’s are near irresistible, especially so when combined with hopium. I got away from those and now just play the Texas Powerball every week instead. Farmboy has obviously refined his procedure to include and demand strict self discipline. I couldn’t get there but am highly impressed with those that can. They have a fellow out there goes by Spock. His gold explorer/developer stocks program has been valuable. Saved me from myself.
Also, I wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day weekend. It is surely a time to consider our debt to those that gave their all to defend our nation. My prayers are with Wanka although I do expect him to pop in at any moment and straighten things out around here! All the best!!
