nice, from CV's link:

"Under Rep. Weiner's bill, companies like Goldline would be required to disclose the reasonable resale value of items being sold." That's great. Are Mr. Weiner and Chairman Bernanke also going to agree to print on every dollar the reasonable expectation that its value will be eroded by inflation?


I really hope these guys just keep pressing their luck, gonna be a sad day for them in the not too distant future.

in any event, interesting date they picked for that hearing eh?

@All

NEW THREAD UP

Sorry Amen... I don't want to intercept your WRAP UP post here... But this interview I dredged up was fascinating and I wanted to get it up as the EARLY "Morning Audibles" for tomorrow...

Saves me from having to "mix it up" with a quad witching Friday, in kooky markets, that I have no idea which way will play out...

Most readers here (and I KNOW, you yourself) will appreciate this interview (if you haven't seen it already)...

It takes an hour to get thru, so I thought it was better suited for a Thursday Evening, instead as a EARLY MORNING piece on a quad witching Friday...

I know you'll understand...

Fantastic Interview S'Capitalists...

Some anecdotal info:

Columbus Day weekend is a three day holiday for me and is also my B-Day. Was thinking about going to Vegas for the weekend....

Been investigating rooms/flights the last 48 hours. The prices are jumping pretty hard in just a two day period. Basically, Vegas, at least in the good spots, is getting booked. Places that could be had for "a song" last year are much more expensive. Maybe it's the holiday weekend or something...but, I'm actually surprised at how expensive it will be to stay somewhere on the Strip.

Bottom Line: Two years ago, Vegas was a fantastic bargain. Right now, not so much....

There has been a little "bottoming action" out there in the desert.
