Hi Rabbit!
Interesting article rabbit...thanks for sharing.

Yes, it is a sad fact that many of those with political ties raped the country of its resources for self interests leaving the public behind and creating a vast class seperation in the name of 'capitalism'....

Of course they do that in America too, but they cannot be quite so blatant about it...although over time the middle class is being eliminated there (I almost said 'here', but I am not 'here', I am 'over there' lol!) anyways....

Thanks for the charts and observations Trades, the bullish factors on gold are duly noted...
And Glad to hear you are doing well Hal...hope the natgas trades work out seasonally...

Don't know if I'll be posting or trading much now, as I just discovered a major problem...
And I may be returning early....we'll see if this can be resolved or not, I think I might be in waaaaay over my head with this one...being in the middle of Russia and all...

I will post more on it after the smoke clears and things are clearer...and I am sure of what I am suspecting...

But I think my fiancee may have an addiction problem...there was a lot of strange behavior that all made sense suddenly when I discovered this....(If you've seen the Western movie 'Tombstone' you will know what I'm talking about..)
I do love her, but it is difficult enough to help someone in this situation even when you are in your own country, and speak the same language and are not surrounded by possible backstreet dealers (In Russia!) and you are in such an extreme foreign environment.
We'll see if her friends and family are willing to rally around me and get her clean...if what I am suspecting is true. Otherwise I will be fleeing the scene shortly.

Anyways, good trades to you all...

See ya on the flip side...pray for me when ya'll get a chance...
