I’...Here I am, another new “Follower of the Turd”! I’ve been Lurking, trying to decide whether I can contribute to this great blog and finally concluded: “maybe”.<br />There are so many knowledgeable people here, I feel like, I’d have nothing to say that might provide information to anyone knowing what they already know that what I had to say would probably already be known.<br /><br />However, I’ve been in this situation before. I’ve lurked and read a blog or chat for months or even years before signing in and discovering I can provide a few things others haven’t already seen or thought of to my surprise: Sometimes!<br /><br />So what does someone like me want in a blog? Well…no mindless posts off the subject and clear concise insights you can’t get anywhere else. This blog has provided this on many occasions without me…so I’ve lurked. Of course, there are certain things I want. I always enjoy posts of links that will give me a new idea or new education. <br /><br />Pick52 seems to do this a lot and I really appreciate this. <br /><br />I suppose I could just read Turd’s comments and get A+ insights, but this is what I’d want from any blog. So what am I saying?...I can read the Turd Comments without going to the comments from others as I do in ZH and get A+ info, but this is the only blog that provides A+ information in both the body of the blog as well as the comment section!<br /><br />I am really impressed with this place. So what did I do before this?---Well, I like Dave Kransler, Harvey Organ, financeandeconomicsd.org, Kingworldnews, ZH , Peter Schiff, and SGTBULL like anyone, but, in the last few months, this is THE BLOG!. <br /><br />I don’t trade futures, stocks or options, I just accumulate silver. This is why I thought I’d really not be able to contribute much to this place. However, I’ll read just about anything related to this market I can get my hands on. <br /><br />I do have one opinion that I might share with others. I would not want to see any changes to the format of this blog including the layout. DON’T EVER CHANGE THE MENU IF YOUR RESTAURANT IS FILLED! <br /><br />I’ll Try to be brief with a story: About 20 years ago I was (and still am), very best friends with a particular owner of a REALLY GREAT ITALIAN restaurant. He decided to change it, somewhat, by painting walls and modernizing the look. Nothing relating to the menu or cooks were ever changed. <br /><br />One day my wife and I walked in and it was brighter…more light…newer looking, etc. But we commented, there were fewer patrons. After sitting at the table for about ½ hour, it suddenly dawned on me! It was too bright!. I asked the owner, (our friend), to stop by our table. I told him, it’s TOO BRIGHT!...go back to the way it used to be!...He turned down the lights and never looked back!...Soon, after several subsequent visits, we noticed a tremendous pick-up in his volume!. He specifically told us, that he thought it was the bright lights that had turned people away!<br /><br />So, he learned that even though the menu remains the same, patrons want familiarity but hate changes. So if you’ve got some really good…NEVER CHANGE IT! BUILD ON IT AND FEED IT WHAT IT WANTS! The same great food it knows and loves.<br /><br />I hope I’ve contributed something positive to this blog today. <br />JJJElaineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790518052655027539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-33402820859253947672011-02-17T20:28:56.975-05:002011-02-17T20:28:56.975-05:00post my fuckin comment jackasspost my fuckin comment jackassUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-58513106620235525542011-02-17T20:26:28.972-05:002011-02-17T20:26:28.972-05:00you fucked up jackassyou fucked up jackassUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-1925318723251809122011-02-17T20:23:14.396-05:002011-02-17T20:23:14.396-05:00can you extrapolate on fundos? what is a fundo?can you extrapolate on fundos? what is a fundo?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-51703579173615213502011-02-17T20:12:41.957-05:002011-02-17T20:12:41.957-05:00turd is the joketurd is the jokeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-44079149954720902392011-02-17T20:08:41.331-05:002011-02-17T20:08:41.331-05:00sry just read the disclaimer. entertainment is mor...sry just read the disclaimer. entertainment is more like it. hilarious how yahoos flock to yahoos. now stop disgracig zh with your presenceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-14014006080099451272011-02-17T20:00:21.932-05:002011-02-17T20:00:21.932-05:00i bought some silver. we are going to be rich. yah...i bought some silver. we are going to be rich. yahoosUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976425241429575964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-1070347644846285312011-02-17T17:11:23.960-05:002011-02-17T17:11:23.960-05:00- Financial Panics One Thousand -

Does today's dramatic rise create a resistence where we should no longer expect to see a BTFD opportunity below say 30.50 or something like that? <br /><br />I'm planning my next buying binge of Eagles and Buffs, and if I shouldn't wait around for much of a possible BTFD around that area then hell, I'll just buy it whenever I guess. <br /><br />Thoughts?

The big winners he chronicles saw beyond their present and used logic to deduce the future while almost all others about them could only see the present that surrounded them. They had to suffer a lot of BS for not seeing things the crowd's way and their success really hinged on their ability to hang tough in the face of the assaults from all around them. When the future they had foreseen became the present they were besieged by their former critics.<br /><br /> Likewise, the real profits in PMs would seem likely to be coming to those who look not so much to the present but to the future. PMs and mining companies mining Silver and gold represent a TINY fraction of the financial assets in existence. The attitudes and opinions prevalent here are still a small minority subject to the same type of assaults and attitudes mentioned above. WB and those who, for whatever purpose, stimulate the awareness of what is coming and provide to all those who see the huge runup out on the event horizon a great service. Events, even when speeding along, most often seem to move glacially. Patience is a virtue.<br /><br />I admire trader's who succeed. As has been said "making predictions is difficult, especially when they involve the future!" The shorter the term the more difficult. I believe that longer term it is not too hard. I trade very little, 90% of my positions are either long term (> 1 year) or will be in 3-6 weeks. I am a miner guy, accept the volatility, used leverage at the beginning but not any additional now and I currently am about double my investment basis. I will be taxed a max of 15% and I have substantial gains. Gold & silver are collectibles taxed long term at 28%. That is a big difference! My expectation is that my miners will be cash machines in the next couple of years and there will be a stampede into them that will drive them up to multiples of where they are now, all to be LT Capital gains for me. There are lots of strategies that can produce great results in this epic bull market. I am happy with mine and wish all participants and all their strategies the best of outcomes. However you plan to take advantage I believe we are in the right place at the right time and we are still a tiny minority. The best is yet to come!<br /><br />Good luck to all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323549286490803243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034901630224544639.post-41399434043319819712011-02-17T15:52:19.799-05:002011-02-17T15:52:19.799-05:00Tyler,
