'Any thoughts on a prospect for 2012 besides me?'
I believe Gold to be the best investment. Republicans are the best insurance for a failed ecconomy. It's worked for the past 10 years.
Thanks B4.
The Big Guy has ALWAYS done right by me and Philt's boy is in my prayers.
I have three sons and one more makes it an even four.
I'd like to see a 2% tax on every transaction.
Yes, even the stock market.
Payed by the receiver to the state of the receiver or to the state of the payer if the receiver is not American.
That's all.
No 2,500 page document.
No tax exemtions.
No tax deferments.
No tax breaks.
Insanity? Our Cities will crumble? Too much power for our State Governers?
Great questions! Taxes should be a per-capita result of commerce.
Not a political question.
Politicians should be free to spend only the money earned.
Not control the availablity funds. Or who should pay.
Would I give an other man my credit card?
We not only give up the card but we give up the printing press!
Na, Gem. I'm not buying into the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012.
But there's a bunch of ideas on it.
Some mystery planet will hit the Earth.
Solar Flairs.
ALIENS! Hahahahaha
B4, Your article says the value of the dollar is .11 cents compaired to 1970 dollars.
It's about .04 cents compared to 1913 when the Fed was born.
The change is dramatic in the last 40 years.
I gotta ask what's changed?
I think it was the end of the middle class.
The pendulum swings too far to one side and now it has to swing back.
You're talking about the Myan calender ending 2012 , December?
I thought the movie was action packed.
Bernanke didn't come out and say there would be Quantitative Easing in the near future but is there anything he can do?
Elections are two months away and I think Big Ben wants to do as little as posible.
Nice to see ya here doberman, I'm just waking up and Bernanke wants to print more money. I'm supprised but the market loves it.
Now the bitchin' will start about debt.
Quantitative Easing is Fed talk for printing money:
The Federal Reserve buys US Treasury notes with money it simply does not have.
I realy doubt that Big Ben Bernanke will mention Quantatative Easing or 'QE2' when he gives his speech today at 10:00 AM
(a half hour after market opens)
but that's the obvious signal for the next run up in the Dow and S&P 500.
That's what a lotta players in the market are secretly hoping for.
I think Big Ben wants a little inflation for the economy.
That means rising prices for goods and wages.
(gold price too : )
Inflation will give Ben a reason to raise the Fed rate.
Obama laid the ground work as the US Commerce Dept. looks to enforce trade laws:
“The Obama administration is committed to aggressively enforcing our trade laws to ensure a level playing field for U.S. companies and their workers – the engines of our economic growth,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement announcing the proposals. “Today’s announcement is another demonstration of our continuing efforts to sharpen our trade enforcement tools.”

Subtle manipulation.
I laughed my ass off when I read that news somewhere today.
I can't find the link butt .......
It's ironic that people were calling for a constitutional ammendment banning gay marriage and here it's just a political game.
Be carfull of people throwing dirt, they'll burry you in it.
I think the 'cigar' is up the repub's butts in the news today:

30 plus years after puberty he's just 'found' this gay-ness? !!!
I thought that was funny!
Big meeting at Jackson Hole--
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-08-26/bernanke-trichet-economic-paths-may-diverge-at-jackson-hole.html
Easyest thing to do is to start up the printing press and add a pile of Dollars and Euros.
Bernanke is plum outta bullets. Employment is the big thing.
Trichet might just think he's out of the woods with Greece.
I'm sure the brandy and cigars will be superb.

Cork, you gather your thoughts and express them elequently!
In the past few days, and thoughout your time on SGC board, you've been able to answer eye in a way I could never have.
I applaude your resiliance!
I've started posts and canceled them. Then I read yours.
Another person mark.
You are right, my friend. It's an old friend who always said 'sorry 'bout your luck, Moose' when he had no sympathy for me.
Congrats on Majestic! 4X !!!
Boy, I thought I was looking pretty smart yesterday morning when silver droped below $18.00.
Now it's $19.00 and I may have missed it.
Sorry for your luck, Moose! Hahaha
I'm not the type to lick and tell. Hahaha
Great idea, Phresh! Ya think it'll work with my super-soaker?
This should be an olympic event:
Ben Franklin, 8 mins of his quotes:
It's these kinda momments.......
I don't care what they think of me at K-Mart, I'm glad I bought the rubber sheets and the 5 gallon jug of peanut oil!
Who would have thought? 1000th post!
Congrats to all!
and Balli Wood, too.
Great movies.
Carbon Credits not selling? The US should be right up at the top of the market and setting the standard for the world.

Please welcome b4 as assit. mod.
When it all falls apart he'll be right here standing tall.
Gold is priced in US dollars and this guy charts the SP, USD and Gold.
Why the US Dollar is Key

That's some sobering article, b4.
We've seen good quarterly reports from the Large Cap Companies and the Dow and S&P tried to get a little momentum but if nobody is employing it's just a sham.
This minni-depression started over 40 years ago.
It's all about you guys.
Thanks for adding so much.
Ben says it much better than me. Thanks B4, what a guy.
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Worth repeating.
As far as I'm concerned, when we give up just a little liberty,
like monitering our tellephones, terrorist win a little.
T Boone Pickens donated 3 million to blow Kerry out of his Swiftboat and the battle still goes on:
November 16, 2007
http://firedoglake.com/2007/11/16/john-kerry-to-swift-boat-funder-t-boone-pickens-wheres-my-million-dollars/
I saw it as a slime job. Pickens offered a Million for anyone to disprove his charges and backed down.
Oil greases the wheels in our country.
A very real case for 'Politics and Money' with oil's money and energy as an influence on policy.
I can't find a direct quote from Ben Franklin but it went something like this:
When you are willing to give up your freedom for saftey
You don't deserve to have your freedom
At the time of 9/11 I was involved with a charming lady, Master Sargent, Ret. Army.
She had friends in the Pentigon and made a few phone calls the weekend after. Everyone knew Syria was a terrorist breeding ground and thought that Afganistan or Syria, (Lybia wanted to be important but they're just assholes) Where will the Pres. send me?
Hahahahaha Rummy and Bush didn't have a thing.....Think Rove and the Neo-Cons!
After a year of manipulation we sent our finest to Iraq.
What's nutzzzz is every body bought it!
There was never a risk from Iraq after Daddy Bush beat thier ass.
Saddam was controled even though he should be dead.
No link to Al qaeda
No weapons of mass destruction
No threat against or nation.
If you think Obama is kissing thier ass well we should get down on our knees for the destruction we caused. For political gain.
Declairing a war gives a Pres. a whole lot more power.
Karl is a player!
Karl understands the fears of mankind and how to manipulate voters.
G.W. Bush was a party animal in collage and he made president with the help of Karl.
Bush isn't a bad person he just has the mentality of a guy who wouldn't fullfill his commitment to the militery.
He allowed Chaney and Rumpsfield to do all the talking.
He was thier bitch to be sure.
Rummy sent the CIA into Afganistan in the first two weeks after 9/11 and after they did a super-human job and asked for ground troops to secure the area and prisoners, Rummy left our guys holding thier cocks! That's when Quantanimo was asked to hold suspects.
He never served a day on the frount lines but made to look like the WAR president. And Kerry, with a Silver Star, was made to look like a wimp!
Actions speak louder than words except when reality can be manipulated.
That's what I'm in for! INSURANCE policy. You know we got the stuff. They know it too. Hang tough.
Karl Rove is alive and still very active in the Islamic Center issue:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/karl-rove-slams-president-obama-islamic-center-comments/story?id=11426509
Divide and Conquer? Karl is an excelent debater. (Master deBater in fact). The very idea against the Islamic Center is against Constitutional Law that gaurantees religious freedom.
Terrorist use that same religion to justify inhumanities they commit in the name of Allah.
Terrorists should be brought to justice or destroyed in the process.
Beware the politition who would use terrorists to divide us.
Karl can't stay away from politics:
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2010/08/karl-rove-ads-senate-races/1?csp=34
And he got pardoned by G.W. Bush, not realy a pardon, "absolute immunity" Hahahahaha I'm only 57 but I never heard that one!
Talk about taking responsability? Not in Karl's life time!
http://www.thatsjustnotright.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34211
I could go on about this guy......But like I said:
Beware the people who would use fear or hate as tools.
You freekin' guys play the penny stocks. You have no fear.
Damn Cork, what a good post!
Doesn't anybody believe in hard work these days?
And the time it takes to reach a goal?
Instant rewards. Make me rich or it's all your fault.

Nice post Phresh. And b4atf, thanks for pointing out the difference between the Army Corp of Engineers type of dredge and a Gold Dredge with an on-board sluice. Wash plants are for fine particles since a power dredge has to balance the incoming and out going material. Diver time under water is physicaly tough.
Hahahaha Good lines! Closing time at the old saloon can change a cowpoke's eyes.
