One thing you learn living in other countries is that the US is a country to be proud of, warts and all.
Many folks from other places are surprised and pleased by the easygoing banter and friendly style of Americans.
Guys like Iso are actually fairly rare.
Except in Texas. I signed the petition for succession,by the way, to help that group GET OUT.

Start chilling the champagne! Stock market's looking good! My IRA's doing great! Forget gold at $1597.00 it's down near $300.00 since it's high 18 months ago.

Two interesting examples of what might turn gold around...and fast.

This is the important stuff that Obama needs to keep his eye on. Not devisive politics. China is shipping arms to Iran, while threatening a currency war. We are still printing money and deficit spending while other major players continue to print money. I'm not a gold bug, but certainly think hard assets are a good thing.

One of the financial forecast agencies that nailed the 2008 collapse expects a 40%-60% drop across the market spectrum by summer, followed by a gold explosion in the fall. He backs that up with a very broad range of both fundamental and technical rationale. I'm not betting the farm on anyone's forecasts, but I'm sure betting some parcels here and there. Obama has stated under repeated public questioning (ABC, Gibson) that the economy means much less to him than taking money from those who earned it and giving it to those who won't or can't. We're on our own.

Oh, man, he wouldn't do that, would he? Give people free cash handouts?

Like those free unearned disability cash payments?

Sorry, but would you please repost? The font size you selected appears to be too small for my 1680 x 1050 screen to process.
