OK, it seems that buried firewalls were my main problem, that and the fucking new Firefox, an "improvement" that simply won't stay deleted.

Markets: several weeks ago I told you to bail the hell out of gold. Since then the market is off more than 100 dollars an ounce. Keep in mind that gold is a LEADING INDICATOR telling us weeks ago that there were big changes coming in our monetary policy. The appointment of Paulson as Treasury Sec means that the dollar will begin to strengthen big time, gold will go below $600 an ounce, and if commodity prices begin to fade we will have a new ball game. The Euro is much too high and the fascists over there want it to come down, so if Paulson wants a stronger dollar you can bet that you will see a global warming in the currency markets. A rising dollar will cause oil prices to drop; UNLESS the fucking Republicans keep spending.
