I am more concerned with that.

Uhh guys... the economy is collapsing.

I here what you are saying about I'm not excited that metals are up.  Luckly, one of my main stocks hit a new 52 week high, so all is not lost...

Add up all the USD currency you've made during the past 5 years.

Now cut that number in HALF.  That's how much real money you've earned.

Try not to cry when you think about it.

Only if you want to exchange it for gold, and only right now.

Buying gold now would be foolish. When prices go up, you hold what you've got. And if you're speculating, you bail out at what you hope to be the peak. But I don't think anyone arguing for gold as "real money" is speculating, hoping to get more FRNs in return.

Maybe $ are collapsing. I don't have a lot of those, so I don't feel it very much.

[president]

I also don't have much $.

I have invested in metal. Copper jacketed lead and brass.

Further solidifies my resolve to never go there. Rather like New Orleans and Katrina.

Amazing, considering how gaming has expanded around the country and you no longer have to go to Vegas to gamble.

I visit the indians in Eastern CT a couple times a year and play Roulette. Not the game with the best odds, but, I enjoy it. Over about 5 years I'm up about 200 bucks.  I've learned how to control a third of the wheel with something close to the minumum bet and it, usually, allows me to stay at the table for quite a while for very little money.  On the few occaisions I left without my $40 stake, I figure I got entertainment and scotch for my money and the days I broke even, gotfree entertainment and free scotch.
Don't know nuth'in about vice.

I'v got an old gas farm engine and have heard of the Lister, but, didn't know anyone was making a simple diesel. I sent away for the CD.

There are some good alternative power links there, and lots of interesting reading. Looks like a fun bunch of guys to hang around with!

This really belongs over on the "Burning waste oil" thread, since these little wonder seem to run just fine on anything you feed them.
