U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward lower openings when the New York day session begins. Gold prices hit an 11-month high overnight, as a combination of safe-haven demand and technical buying are boosting the yellow metal.

You’d think the people in southern Hokaido would be on edge, but no, the market is the victim.

Japan had every right to shoot it down. And IMHO, it was an act of war.

Yeah. It is an act of war and why they didn’t shoot it down, I have no idea. Were they asleep??

Rummy, don't sell your gold coins or bars of gold or your bars of silver or your 90% silver coins yet!

Things are unfortunate that I am making money off the desperation of these times, but, as we've seen over the past three days -gold and silver are about to- spirl upwards towards highs that have not been seen since gold was at $1920.70 an ounce in March 2011. (I hope not, but it appears that this is the course that the future holds for us)

I've been buying heavily since April when gold was $1234. I've done something that one is never supposed to do. I've put everything in one basket! Every nickel I have. Let's all hope and pray that there is no nuclear exchange and no radiation to follow suit.
[if anyone is interested in where I've been purchasing my gold and silver...freep mail me/and of course, keep all of your gold and silver purchases in a safety deposit box!]

Safety deposit box??? When the time comes that you need it, the banks won’t allow you access. Safety deposit box...I think not.

Yeah, they look peaceful now. But, that is one island of people you do NOT want to pi$$ off.

Chia pet’s spawn has no idea what awaits him if he keeps this up.

If you shoot it down and it kills someone, it’s your fault.

If there is no carrier group off the Korean coast, there should be one. If there already is one, there should now be two.

How did gold perform during last great depression ?
Which asset class held up the best?

I do not see how we avoid a depression with this humongous national debt, for which we have zero ability to pay off any principle.
