You also don't have to automatically disbelieve something, just because it's on the internet.

The story of Canute trying to command the tides is almost a thousand years old. I first read it myself as a child over fifty years ago, in one of my father's antique books -- long before there was an internet or a Wikipedia. That book, published in the 1800's, also explained Canute's action as a demonstration for his kiss-*** court followers, to put an end to their flattery about what a great and all-powerful king he was.

 

Hi Landlubber,
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Landlubber again." - I agree with your postulation relating to Dick Smith...
Hi Leo,
"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Leo Lazauskas again." Except for the fact of human-limitations and capabilities as pointed out by Leo...

and imbibed the "postulation of Peters Principle", to the extent so often found in bureaucracies in Australia, where people tend to rise to the LEVEL ABOVE their competencies, and thereafter proceed to 'white-ant' and 'stab others in the back' to guard and shore up their position/status... This activity effectively inhibits the delivery of any productive work... The Queensland Government and the Australian Government bureaucracies would make an excellent case study for a 'doctoral research thesis' by someone who is VERY COURAGEOUS......

 

Thank you Troy for the version in its fullness ....... but ....... "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to troy2000 again."

 

Leo, seems that my message was lost on you mate, as I only work myself to get money when needed again, what I meant to say, but obviously not enough words were written to do so, was that we need someone that understands economies, has a heart for people above all rest, cares about those that are not as fortunate as others etc etc etc.

Leo, no matter what you say, you still use money basically every day to live the lives we do, I hardly use any...about $2k in the last three months, so I do live without working every day, being a boatbuilder, we can please ourselves when we do and do not work, I would have only done one week in the last four, spend the rest of my time helping boatie mates and restoring BMW motorcycles...keeps me out of sight of the pollies and happy every day.

 

Mas, just got home and checked the charts, looks like you nailed it. Nice prediction, I think everyone knew it was going to be an off day but also a lot expected a rally towards the end. Finished 5~6% down across the board and it aint over till the fat lady sings.

 

Hi Boston,
Bloody luck of the draw and carefully wording - - ambiguously... ?

Those that pontificate on TV (mass hysteria) are declaring all sorts of rubbish
- I like Obummer's on TV the best...
- Some were suggesting in the range 'Oh Ship! ', 'further volatility', 'Sorted and settled', 'a beat-up by the disgruntled', etc, etc....

Gold at US$1721.86 as I type is close to the "sinclair-turk-interview" identified potential trigger point - 'Gold at US$1764/ounce and thereafter will go EXPONENTIAL' - One can sit with a beer and watch what happens on Wednesday after Tuesdays activity in NY.... http://www.goldmoney.com/video/sinclair-turk-interview.html and the three other youtube videos if you scroll down on that page...

The ongoing civil unrest in England is VERY WORRYING... In Australia I get the feeling that violence is on the increase... The disease of societal collapse is spreading...

 

www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=25940 is a gloomy prospect that is looming large...

Time for me to make haste and get my boat organised with new propellers and good fuel supply and a 'R-O-watermaker', as an urgent project...

Landlubber, Dick Smith would make a typical politician. Only to serve his own benefit.

I've seen him on TV proudly sprouting we should all buy Australian made goods, why? Because he has a business promoting and marketing Australian made goods. Before that he owned Dick Smith Electronics, where I would estimate that 99.9% of the goods he was selling came from Taiwan.

I didn't hear him sprouting about buying Australian made goods then.

What we need is someone to clean the scum out of the country and send it back from where it came or lock it up, before we end up having the England riots and us having to pay for wasters who do nothing.

 

Time to buy soon! I bought in right after the 2008 collapse and did pretty well. I wouldn't be building a boat right now if I hadn't.

Just when everybody thinks the world will end... that's when you buy.

 

Buy buy buy!

 

At the moment people seem to think that is a recipe to say bye, bye, bye to your money, but being a contrarian seems not have been a bad strategy over time. A wise, very rich man once said, if you see a bandwagon, don't get on it, it's too late.

 

Hi Hoyt,
Not Yet, unless it is taking delivery of gold, silver bullion and other readily transportable similar asset classes...
- Not diamonds as they can now be manufactured quite cheaply... and
- Not Artworks as they can be destroyed too easily and are difficult to carry / transport...

It is now 11am in Queensland and the discussion is nothing but the further fall on the Australian Stock exchange...

Gold is at US$1726.81 and fast approaching the "magic trigger" of US$1764.00 for an exponential lift-off...

 

Mas did'nt you post recently a link to news of gold being over sold the point of 20 people owning the same ounce. Thats a safe investment?

Any one watching the news Aus is falling like a brick,--what did I say?

Taiwan has intervened and closed down the markets computer to stop panic pre set selling and brokers have been told to re advise customers to stick.

Obama say USA should be quadruple A,-- should he not be working instead of spouting ****.

If USA is triple A then every country is triple A.
