Hi Farmboy

What is your time scale for being fully established in Belize have you already bought property there?

As I told you before if it was all about me I’d be setting up in Belize as well. A round trip for me is about 2 acres of prime land there, that’s putting it into perspective.

So what I’m doing is going to ground where I am. Between my elderly parent who live next door and me we have about 21 acres of reasonably good land. I’m drought proofing our properties our large dams are now huge dams. Spending a lot of time increasing orchards and vegetable gardens all organic. We are already self-sufficient in beef do the lot from artificially inseminating the cows to vacuum packing the meat.

The most important thing I’m doing is getting the community thing going by sharing seedlings, fruit, vegetables, knowledge and planting seeds that all is not what it seems. I’m fortunate that the people around us are generally opened minded.

I’m glad that out of our group Ferret bought a property a couple of months ago and Silverspike settled on a property last Tuesday. Unfortunately we are not all together.

What are you doing in Belize are you all doing it together or are you being spread all over the country.

Cheers LP.

“Ron Paul’s wisdom and integrity…more importantly…his spirit and message…are surviving the huge obstacles placed by the moneylenders and the establishment. It is really gratifying to see him proceed against seemingly insurmountable odds.”

It is gratifying to me to see you posting in a positive manner about the Paul campaign. Thanks!

I’ve gone on record before with this prediction and I will say it again: Ron Paul is going to win New Hampshire.

Recieved a call from a fine gentleman in Oregon who is a lurker. He wanted me to tell everyone that he has a group of ex forum now goldtenters that threw in for the Clinic in Belize. That there is probably 4 or 5 hundred more than Wanka had calculated.
As we have suspected ,there are many more eyes being treated to the wonderful goings on here than actual handles in the registration dept.
Ahhhh,Freedom is a powerful tool of the heart when unleashed. I smile.

Is GS in trouble?  Does GS own the store?

Thanks for your post…it’s exactly the type of stuff deserving of discovery and disclosure.

Boy, do I know where you’re coming from. I bought my first pm stock way early, in ‘98, and have added slowly since then. I’m still down a bunch from the ‘03 correction–it’s amazing I’m still in after that one. Just today I told my “farmguy” that if I had come to this party in the last year or two I would probably be gone. My two biggest holdings have been darlings–now dogs. Time will tell on them, but I find it’s easier to stay in after one or two slaughters–(mine!). ‘Course, we may end up broke but I intend to be there with something, even with just my physical, at the end of this bull!

Farmboy @ 22:23 pm

I’m thinking Real Estate might be pretty attractive by the time metals are exhuasting the bull run.  I’d love a place at the lake in NH with little or no mortgage bought with PM profits.  You know, a nice beach front with a dock and a boat, plus a couple of waverunners for when the kids come to visit.  So nice to see the Loons through the early morning fog while on a waverunner.

Fingers crossed..

Safe metal…

“Nature has provided a prophylactic against this poison that makes the beneficiaries of lasting risk-free profits into slave-drivers, and the rest of society into slaves. The prophylactic is: a metallic monetary system. The regime of irredeemable currency is incompatible with stable social relations based on the system of division of labor. It allows the concentration of the monetary metals in a few hands, conferring unlimited power upon those in control. This is the main reason that militates against embracing irredeemable currency. It is a great historical tragedy that this socio-economic danger was not investigated before the official adoption of irredeemable currency by every country in the world in the wake of the U.S. default on its international gold obligations in 1971. The world then made its fateful U-turn back to slavery.”

Ooops, Is GOLDMAN SACHS in trouble???

SEC EYES GOLDMAN SACH’S GOOD FORTUNE

October 31, 2007 — THE Securities & Exchange Commission is looking into whether Goldman Sachs cheated its way to enormous profits - even as the rest of the financial industry was suffering through a massive downturn.

The central issue, as best I can determine, is whether Goldman had any insight that other firms didn’t have during the May and June period when subprime mortgage securities were deteriorating in value.

In June, brokerage firm Bear Stearns was one of the first firms to shock Wall Street when two of its hedge funds reported massive losses on risky mortgage loans.

Since then a number of other investment firms have reported similarly dismal results.

The bad news culminating in the last two weeks with a massive $8 billion write-off by Merrill Lynch that led to the ouster of its chairman, Stanley O’Neal.

One person who discussed the matter with the SEC says the investigator seemed curious as to whether the investment banking side of Goldman’s business could have tipped off the trading side of that brokerage firm to the extent of the problems that would soon be encountered by Bear and others.

And there also seemed to be a philosophical discussion as to whether that would constitute insider trading even if there was such a leak. The SEC doesn’t comment on any investigation it might be undertaking. My sense is that the SEC’s interest is preliminary.

If someone had known the scope of the subprime mortgage mess ahead of time he could have profited handsomely.

During a second quarter that saw most of Wall Street take it on the chin, Goldman scored an 88 percent jump in profits to $2.85 billion.

By comparison, Lehman Brothers’ earnings were down 2 percent, Morgan Stanley’s profits fell 8 percent and Bear Stearns’ net was off 62 percent.

In its quarterly financial statement Goldman said “significant losses in non-prime loans and securities were more than offset by gains on short mortgage positions.”

In other words, Goldman made some very lucky trades to avoid the fate of the others.

The same person who spoke with the SEC’s New York office said the commission also seemed interested in the relationship between Goldman and The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets.

People who follow the actions of The Working Group, which is nicknamed the Plunge Protection Team, assume that it was the organization that rallied the banking industry behind a recent plan to rescue banks endangered by the subprime mess.

They also assume that much of what The Working Group accomplishes is done through Goldman, where Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson had been chairman before heading Treasury.

Paulson is the former chairman of Goldman Sachs, as was Robert Rubin, another former Treasury secretary who is currently a highly paid executive with Citigroup.

Citigroup also had problems with subprime lending that’s gone bad.

Goldman didn’t return my telephone call asking for a response.

Rambus; as always, great analysis.

     I like the ascending triangle.  I have also used the 14.37 high in November 2006 to make a symmetrical triangle of the thing in the weekly chart.  This shows the breakout occurring in September, and the past several weeks a flag, with the lower shadows of the candlesticks testing the lower old resistance, now support line.

Today was wonderful, as it was the back test of the 14.12 high from last week.

We can also see a bullish crossover by the ten week moving average of he 20 week moving average, after the ten week ma bounced off the 55 week moving average.  ADX shows a nice selling climax in mid August.

Your the man about town on these things…you have any news on what is happening with the Silver shorts on COT? They looking anything like the Gold ones?

Thanks, Farmboy

FTS @ 22:14 pm

Howdy FTS.

Whats next you ask? I figure it one of two ways. Over the next couple years Gold continues to do as it has for the past five years. Methodical slow but ever upward climb towards that ‘Inflation Adjusted’ price of at least 2,500/ounce. Or, the entrophy of the Financial System goes into a long overdue Major ‘Correction/Failure’, and we wake up one of these mornings and wont need coffee to get the eyelids in full open position. Figure, its a toss of the coin to which happens first.

And Silver?? I think that has even more explosive power due to the industrial demand, low inventory figures. And I think, the fuse has been smoldering for quite a while now. Best have a case of your favorite beverage when the Fireworks show starts. (grin)

WANKA & Irish; thank you for the replies.

Very busy today.  Had to spend about 6 hours helping father in law with computor issues.  Then the family voted me to be the door greeter for Hallowe’en tonight.  Then I visited a neighbour.  Just got back in and finished reading most of the back posts of the day.

Will phone tomorrow, as it is late now.

Ron Paul

Son was telling me a few days after the last Republican Debate some interesting figures. (who in the world keeps up with this kind of stuff anyways?) Numbers are from memory so might be off a tad. Tried to get son to post article where he read the numbers…but he has been snowed under at work of late. There were approximately 11,000 words spoken by the Canidates during the last debate, of which Ron Paul only got in 700 words.

Mention that this evening, to show even with thier attempts to silence and stifle our favorite, it seems he continues to gain ground. Reckon its hard to keep a ‘Good Man’ down.

Lot can yet happen between now and next November Elections. Hope springs Eternal.

Best, Farmboy

Fullgoldcrown @ 22:05 pm

What the hell are we going to do for an encore?  It’s all comming from fantasy to fact, what next?

Bill,
I am completely gob-smacked! In the October 30 session on the TOCOM Goldman Sachs climbed aboard an F16 and headed down the runway with engines at full throttle and the after burners lighting up the night sky. They COVERED an astonishing 2,318 contracts to bring their net short position to 8004 contracts. This is the LOWEST net short position they have held since I have been tracking their position in January 2006.

Look at the chart of their net short position. The other day I was wondering if they would continue to cover in accordance with the established declining trend or cover much faster. We now have the answer: they are getting out of Dodge as fast as they can. This is very significant because given their high level connections this implies that they know that a rate cut is definitely going to be served up by the Fed tomorrow.

We have NEVER seen such a divergence between the POG and the GS net short position. These are definitely different times. This is the mother of all short squeezes.
Cheers
Adrian

Silver:

Bill,
Here are some interesting data from the Chinese central bank regarding silver:

September YTD Chinese Imports of Silver were 586,972 kilograms, taking the nine-month YTD total to more than 4 million tons, with a year over year growth rate of almost +65%. Additionally, in the first nine-months of this year China was a net importer of silver, bringing in 600,000 tons more than they exported, a huge 1.3 million kilogram swing from last year’s 9-month YTD net export total of 750.000 kilograms.
Best regards,
Brian

Goodnight, everyone.

Paul’s Presidential Odds Drastically Slashed
Britain’s biggest bookie has Texas Congressman 12/1 to win White House, down from 66/1

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Wednesday, October 31, 2007

Britain’s biggest bookmaker William Hill has drastically slashed Ron Paul’s odds of becoming president from 66/1 to just 12/1, putting him on course to go head to head with Rudolph Giuliani for the Republican nomination, which will be decided in the next six months.

After initially writing off the Texas Congressman as a fringe candidate, the establishment media are finally having to admit that Paul’s meteoric rise over the last 10 months have turned him into a frontrunner with a real chance of claiming victory should his growth curve continue…
