Yeup. Here I thought he had some ancient Latin derivation, but you nailed it.

Archdeacon. I get the self-promotion now. Congratulations Andrew!

Now Archie sounds less endearing, because I didn’t realize it was based on a position change, so I won’t use it. Archdeacon it is……

I gotta admit that Archdeaon sounded cool though.

Who put the c in archdeacon?! I stand corrected. lol.

Archdeacon with a C!

You can change your moniker from Rev to whatever Andrew ? No drama.
As long as you understand (as Im sure you will) that every time ‘The Ashes’ between your mob & mine is played, then I will more than likely only affectionately refer to you as a that ‘Pommie B@stard’ other than Rev or whatever 😉
Cheers to you Rev/Andrew/or Arch however you spell it !

GBN.V doesn’t answer who the top shareholders are when asked. All of the insider information is years old without being updated, and recent additions have also been deleted.

One thing is for certain. If Sprott and Netolitzky are getting behind a swindle, then they’ll be risking their own projects in the gold space because both are renowned. My guess is that Netolitzky has been buying shares almost daily for over a year. The people formerly on the insiders list are still there, holding millions of shares. The larger shareholders are all from former companies in The La Ronge Gold Belt that were active prior to the downturn in 1998.

Current largest shareholders are: Netolitzky – known to own 10% of the float, more if he accumulated shares during the no-bid period, up to 30%, Sprott – known to hold 8%, but is a participant in the shares through at least 9 separate accounts, so this number is not known, Klaus Lenert Thiel, the former CEO of Uranerz – at least 3% of the float, and various former directors, all owning up to 1% of the float.

The latest crop of executives, all staffers from Lincoln Mining, have options for a million shares.

GBN.V announced a reverse split over a year ago, but never carried it out. The insiders participated in short sales of company shares and non-dispositive short sales of shares to themselves. All of this was meticulously planned and carried out and impeccably timed.

They have no need of financial advice of any kind, because they can rely on Sprott, and TD and RBC as third party facilitators as they had setting up Sprott PHYS and The Mint ETR. The gold for these ETFs comes from the EP Mine ‘pay streak’ and the Roy Lloyd mine ore stockpile which they built over four years, and began depleting in 2014, even though they claimed they were shut down. Mining might have stopped but they continued to process the available ores.

To add: IF they are listing deferred revenue under liabilities, they would have paid the cost of operations through the asset-based financing. THIS is the way it works.

So was mine, Big Al.

I have been tracking various opinion poles on Clinton, Trump and Cruz; actually over 3 dozen of them in the last month.
They have to be analyzed very carefully because some are clearly designed to be push-poles, not for the purposes of extracting information. However, both Clinton and Trump have serious negatives among voters from their own parties. This is strange and different from any other election I have seen in the past.
Trumps winning has been dominated by Democrats voting for him.
Rubio (In my opinion a nice guy but immature of limited experience) and Kasich (n my opinion, an incompetent party hack who has bankrupted Ohio) have acted as spoilers.
All but about 3 poles have indicated (and clearly this may change in the future, but I’m talking about existing poles), all but about 3 poles have indicated that Cruz would beat Trump in a one-on-one race.
Further the majority of poles have shown Trump would not beat Clinton or Sanders and that Cruz would beat Clinton or Sanders. Although that conclusion is barely defined within the margins of error. I would also remind everyone that it is yet very early in the election process……a lot can happen.

And, a lot will happen.My prediction, at this time, is that Clinton will win the marbles.

That is a given Al. My question is what do you think will become of Trump and the republican nomination?

I don’t think that the party will unify behind him. What do you think??

I said when Trump entered the race that his role was to get Hillary in. People sure fall hard for a little acting.

Interesting that I had a similar thought.

AL

I bet you a burger and fries that the Clintonite will win.

I would agre with you Beentnail.

Al, I am not a political genus and actually only voted for a presidential winner once in my lifetime (45 years of voting). I do believe that the elections are rigged, not necessarily corrupt but designed so that the elite can have whom ever they want elected.

I would probably agree Bobby’

FRANK

Thanks. Great to be back.

Exactly Shad. You ever notice it? It becomes almost predictable if you start to get a sense of when something is topping or hitting a tradeable low. Maybe its all machine induced though because the changes are so fast I can’t keep up and catch the movements a lot of the time. Like a switch goes off somewhere and then everyone is piling into a trade that comes out of nowhere.

Yes, many of the trading algorithms are keyed off certain triggers, so money leaves one sector and shows up in another. (kinda like the game wack-a-mole).

These machine trading correlations do get updates though, so I look for trends, and do my best to anticipate where the flock or school may show up next to feed.

Ha! Yeah, whack-a-mole is a much better simile in this case. Maybe what we need to get is better software so it can track the changes in commodity behavior as each week goes by. I just do it in my head for the most part but there is often a lag time before I catch on that something important is changing.

😉

Hello Bird,

Hope all’s well.

I find your views on gold interesting – with lower lows potentially ahead in the next few months/quarters. Incidentally, Martin Armstrong feels the same as you: both from a price level and timing perspective. He had an interesting c. 45mn long interview this week on RealvisionTV.com. Suggest anyone to watch it.
[Before anyone checks, I have to add that RealvisionTV is subscription-based. But imho, it’s money extremely well spent for one’s financial education – as opposed to listening/reading some of the non-sense that’s around].

So on the topic of gold, I’ve been on the record here on KER saying that for me, the low is in given that we made higher highs (right translated move on the charts). And given my way to look at technicals, this is what I HAVE to recognize.

However, I’ve said to Richard/Doc that it is VERY possible that gold revisit the lows, and even, potentially move to marginal lower lows over the next few months: on one of the previous upcycles – can’t remember which one – this is what gold did: it moved up (–> everybody thought the low was in) but THEN made its low (“THE LOW”) 1 or 1.5yrs after that previous low was elected.
From a chart perspective, despite the higher high after the December low, it is NOT impossible for the chart to turn down big time. I’ve been looking for examples of that (coz I like to always remain open to the possibility that my views can be proven wrong) AND I’ve seen a few charts where the price action has been the one exhibited from gold since Dec 2015 YET a new marginal low is made a few months/quarters later. The caveat are that the charts I’ve seen are charts of STOCKS /EQUITIES and not commodities. I’ll stop here. Just food for thought.

What I’ve indicated to Richard, and what is more important for me in terms of capital appreciation potential, is that under that former historical scenario I mentioned, the stocks, AS A WHOLE, didn’t make lower lows despite gold making its final low after 1-1.5yrs.
So 2 points to make on the stocks here:
1) For those who’ve read me for some time (and I feel sorry for what you had have to read from me 🙂 ), they will remember that the fact that stocks have bottomed doesn’t really matter TO ME as I don’t invest in the GDX/GDXJ (as some of the newsletter writers do/recommend to do). Reason being that GDX/GDXJ always underperform good names. Always.
That’s why I value, from a conceptual/cerebral/mental/intellectual standpoint people such as Avi Gilburt who has a dedicated service within the various trading rooms of his site who SPECIFICALLY tries to pick up what he (and his team of analysts) think are the best names within GDX/GDXJ and try to avoid certain names which have no good prospect at all. The goal here being to outperform GDX/GDXJ.
–> To me, there’s much more money to make in stock picking when one does proper homework, so again, I don’t focus on GDX/GDXJ.

Also, one has to keep in mind, as Chris Temple rightfully pointed out (a few months ago now), that the best PM stocks ALREADY bottomed in 2013. So when I read or hear once in a while people who claim “i’ve called the bottom in the PM stocks”… I just can’t help “smiling”.
To illustrate my point… I’ll give 1 simple example: Doc/Richard brought Claude Resources to KER listeners attention at the end of 2014. The stock has been a c. 5 baggers from back then till its recent top. On the long side, betting on great specific stories is where the SERIOUS money is made (I’ve been very far from making a 5 bagger on this one but I remember reading someone on the site making a 4 bagger, can’t recall who it was –> kuddos to that person).
So whenever I hear/read someone with: “I’ve called the lows on GDX/GDXJ recently”….I’m like “BIG DEAL….. Zzzzzzzzz….”
Plenty of stocks have doubled (and more) on this run last run, vastly outperforming GDX/GDXJ. So GDX/GDXJ is just Zzzzzzz for me…. Anyway… sure everyone gets the picture.

2) What is important is that IF the ETFs (as per GDX/GDXJ) have made a bottom… THEN from a SECTOR SENTIMENT standpoint, this DOES matter, imho.
It does matter as it is likely to attract a pool of fresh capital to the sector.
And just by looking at (1) discussions I regularly have with a few fin. institutions AND hedge funds owners/managers that I am acquainted with and (2) new position openings for commodities analysts roles (that’s broad, it’s “commodities”, it’s not PM specific typically…but it gives a good idea) within fin. institutions or hedge funds (anybody interested, just take a look at the specialized financial press, you’ll get the drift quickly)… I get the feeling that interest from both big AND hot money has DEFINITELY picked-up on the PM space (PM space specifically, but Nat. Resources/Commodities in general).

*****

Going back to my point on gold
I’m gonna stick to the view that the low is in for gold (coz again, my view is reflective of the way I look at technicals), but (as always) I am open to the idea that I might be proven wrong on that one. And that’s ok for me if I am wrong (3 weeks ago, I expect a move down to 1150-1170 for gold, and it didn’t happen –> again, I’m ok with being wrong).
I still have orders on long-term Call options on gold that I have not cancelled. So if gold moves to lower lows in the next few months/quarters, I’ll be quite happy to see these orders probably filled.

Re: the stocks, imho, a good strategy is to keep a core on the best names in one’s portfolio, and add on pullbacks. Add on pullbacks… add on pullbacks. Then, trim when the chart is REALLY stretched or when a res level is too tough to break. Rince, repeat.

For those who don’t have the technical acumen (or intellectual appetite) to use technical analysis, it’s ok: I believe that sticking to your best stocks, and adding on pullbacks while keeping a core should treat you well over the next 2-3 years. But if you invest on funda(funDER)mentals and not technicals… just always make sure that the reason why you invested in a name is still valid over time.
But keep in mind the whole sector has been on fire lately, and some/company names definitely don’t deserve to trade at the level where they trade (as Doug Casey says: “when the wind blows hard, even turkeys can fly”)… so bad news will happen soon for some of them (and that will mean share price feeling the reflection that “one can defy gravity… but not for long”).

Stay selective on the names. Do your homework. Manage risk on your positions. With time, everything is likely to take care of itself if you apply this discipline.

GL to all investing/trading.

LPG

Thanks for the input LPG. There are innumerable scenarios to sift through as you are suggesting. I am trying to keep my life as simple as possible by discarding just about all the current popular gold themes as they are rarely tradeable.

I can tell you my plan though. Some miners are still rising and there is upside ahead until the major indexes reach resistance on the monthly chart. I will sell off my remaining silver miners this coming week if we have topped there. (On a case by case basis of course because a single stock cannot mirror the index which is just my guide).

Depending on how the charts play out I will enter short positions in gold, silver and miners once we have retested the highs earlier this month. Its my belief we will get another run at 1287(?) gold for example before the real decline begins and that will allow me to position at what I think is a point near the absolute top of this range.

It could go higher of course so I am playing it by ear. What I am not doing is opening any new long trades in any metals or miners as most, including the good ones, should fall in sympathy with one another. The risk/reward of trying to pick the odd winner in the batch that rises despite a sector decline is really not worth the effort.

So now it is a waiting game as this top completes its formation. It looks like it will be a grind so two weeks is not an unlikely amount of time to expect the pattern to work itself out. The last few days of March and the first of April will tell the tale.

I am fairly confident in my belief that this bull market is not a new bull at all and that the money will again be made on the short side with a time frame spanning months and into the end of the year.

Have a great day!

Incidentally LPG, I have had tremendous success in accurately timing reversals in gold and silver over the past few years on this site. As always though we are only as good as our last trade and I try to keep that in mind to keep myself humble as these markets can confound the best of analysts.

While I am expressing confidence in my current projection I will also admit it is based only on my best observations and in fact not one of us knows what tomorrow will bring.

So it is still possible for me to be wrong in spite of producing what I believe is a very good record in calling the metals market these past four years on this site. Should I be correct one more time though on this contrary bet in defiance of the gold experts I will put a feather in my cap and come back as Jeddi Birdman (because I will have earned the title!!!)

Just a little morning humour! 🙂

Good thoughts LPG and Farmer IC,

LPG I agree with you on picking the individual stocks that will greatly outperform the indexes on Silver and Gold Stocks. The difference in earnings (or losses) can be startling with individual stocks, yet the risk is more than betting on a basket of stocks. However, using fundamental analysis to identify a good company, and then technical analysis to time entry and exit points can greatly reduce the risk in a single stock.

As for the mining ETFs, I like trading the leveraged ETFs for macro directional trades where I just want to capture a move without worrying about a specific companies trading and just get the general direction correct, with a little oomph on it.

This idea seems to agree with your point 2:

“2) What is important is that IF the ETFs (as per GDX/GDXJ) have made a bottom… THEN from a SECTOR SENTIMENT standpoint, this DOES matter, imho.
It does matter as it is likely to attract a pool of fresh capital to the sector.”

LPG, I concur that a shift in the mining indexes is what will get institutional investors interested in the space again, and what will get the media attention. Very few news stories are going to come out when a quality stock hits new highs, but when GDX, or GDXJ, or the HUI makes a new high, then it does get coverage and generates focus on the sector.

As for fading into and out of positions to build a core position with a good cost basis, I completely agree and use the same strategy you mentioned:

“Re: the stocks, imho, a good strategy is to keep a core on the best names in one’s portfolio, and add on pullbacks. Add on pullbacks… add on pullbacks. Then, trim when the chart is REALLY stretched or when a res level is too tough to break. Rince, repeat.”

Both LPG and Farmer in Canada – I agree that a pullback in the metals to lower lows is still not out of the real of possibilities for me until Gold puts in some meaningful closes above $1308 and $1321-$1322 (the drop level in 2013 that started the 3 year consolidation in the first place). Again, as we’ve mentioned for a long time, a testing of the lows or a new low in the metals, doesn’t mean that will be the case for the mining stocks, as they are being evaluated with different metrics now.

Thanks Ex.

Is there a sarcasm emoticon yet?

Ha. Not sure if there is yet or not. We’d need it a lot on this site though.

Interesting additional output/comments Bird.
Take Good Care,

I agree that this gold rally is probably not “the really big one and have put my money where my mouth is.

No kidding? That comes as a surprise since the bullishness is overwhelming lately if the number and type of comments and articles on this site is an indication. So you agree with what I am saying then?

Good for you Al. The perpetual gold bulls that reside here and elsewhere are some of the stupidest people I have ever come across. Glad to hear you are not one of them.

Pilot Gold Reports Year-End Financial and Operating Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – March 18, 2016)

OH….. 🙂

Obama is not a reflection of the masses, Matthew, but more an American-hating Marxist.

CFS, the masses went apeshit for him just as they are now for Trump. Most Americans, including those on the so-called right, are too stupid to know that they are just fine with plenty of Marxist ideas. Obama is FAR from the first one to embrace them but half of the masses want them delivered by a neoCON.

you have to be a hanging chad…………or is that shad………

watch in now……I’ve been known to hang…… 🙂

I give that about the same odds as Trump being a good president!

Zero for each!

You guys are funny, LOL.

So I can safely assume you are either short or on sideline.

It is funny how folks are sure of, what they do not know..

Yes Chartster, it is. You have been sure of an imminent fall for about two years. You can’t really be a chartster if that is what the gold chart is telling you right now.

And you? Who thought the bottom was in the last two years..? C’mon..

You got my vote Chartster. Mr cherry-picker, rear-view-mirror, after-the-fact investor who quotes himself daily always gets the great score but NEVER makes an actual call anyone can hold him too.

You know…in real time.

He is a fraud. But Al wants him on the show.

I could not stop laughing. Almost pissed myself actually. Yes, bring that guy on.

Should be a laugh a minute.

I nailed each of the major bottoms of the last few years. So what if they didn’t turn out to be THE low. Buy weakness sell strength, remember? I have not seen a comment from you in which you recognize a low or a high.

http://schrts.co/NIXkTC

If you haven’t made a killing this year, something is wrong with your approach.

C’mon is right.

Oh look, it’s our resident sociopath Birdman “the pretender” Farmer from Canada.

http://schrts.co/NMLZxf

You “nailed” each of the bottoms all right. Too fu**ing funny Mr Stopped-clock.

That was only because you called every single rise and fall (without exception) as a favourable time to buy more gold and gold stocks. No finesse at all. You remind me of a juvenile boxer in training.

The kind of guy who goes into the ring, closes his eyes and then tries to overpower his adversary by the number of blows he lands. Like a cat fight between two angry gals who swing wildly and never make contact.

One day you might learn its quality that matters…..not the quantity of posts with blue forks and other flaccid, meaningless charts. Most of what you put up is freaking useless but a few idiot followers of yours seem aptly impressed.

And so we have the legend of the juvenile boxer punching the air.

All volume but no skill.

Wrong about everything as usual, ya little commie chicken man.

Fantastic graphic–that’s going to family and friends for sure!

A lot of truth in what you are saying, Eddie E!

There are too many people who care more about being perceived right. It does not help one’s analysis.

I actually thought you made a very good point there Matthew:

“not many analysts are objective enough to change their opinion when it would appear to be riskier to do so.”

I thought this was one of the better segments from Avi in a while just because it seemed more informed on how he was arriving at the targets, and he admitted he was off on the dollar, but laid out his new outlook clearly. For the technical targets he outlined it was interesting to follow along on GDX and see where he could see things heading.

Poor Clive. I really like him, but no it doesn’t help anyone to get married to a view or thesis. Many days I take a step back, look objectively at what I thought may happen, and realize I’m wrongo in the congo….. back to the drawing board….new plan.

I agree Ex. Nothing wrong with changing a position when a person gets additional information.

Yes, it is investors inability to do this that causes them to experience big losses or get wiped out completely.

I was told by frustrated Chinese Democratic supporters that majority of Chinese in US support Trump. I guess it could be called another voting block. If I am in US，Trump might be my only choice even he is far from ideal. In Canada, majority of Chinese vote Conservatives. It is why Chinese candidates were wiped out in the last Alberta election.

I mentioned Hispanics, Dragonite, because in California, the highest deligate state is where the Hispanics are a controlling voting block if Anglos split evenly.

Ex
Thanks, as always, for the time you spend putting together these comparison charts.
FWIW, I actually did a rare (for me) trend trade on CDE and made +100%.
Brian

P.S. I forgive you for omitting Alexco (Not a producer right now)
😉

Way to go on CDE. It has had a stunning move out of the January low for a larger company, but it had sold down to the point of being ridiculous, so it was warranted.

Yes, I had Alexco on, but swapped it out with AZ Mining (really it should be Arizona Mining), because I thought they were producing….at least I was pretty sure when they were Wildcat Silver that they had started small amounts of trial production. At present they are just gearing up to go into production, so I’ll swap them out with Alexco (since Alexco’s mine on care and maintenance may get swinging again if Silver does make a run for $18.)……and I’m a shareholder again too 🙂

P.S. – Alexco has outperformed almost all of the producers on this run, so imagine what will happen when it actually goes back into production again……

http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?SVMLF,IPT.V,GPL,AXU,CDE,USAPF,EXK,FSM,HL,SSRI&p=2&O=111000

Brian, just as follow up on this previous thread, it looks like my pick of Silvercorp for a small producer has done pretty good.

Silver has begun to outperform gold — Commerzbank
Cecilia Jamasmie | March 18, 2016

“Because silver has noticeably outperformed gold of late, the gold-silver ratio has decreased from almost 84 at the end of last month to a good 78, its lowest level since early February,” Commerzbank says in a research note Friday.

The only things better than socialism would be monarchy or communism.
When I was a kid, on a magazine cover was a soviet jet shooting down santa in his sleigh, the pilot shaking his fist snarling “die capitalist pig”.
I always liked that cover. lol

Lets agree to disagree.

During Communist times in Poland,
My business partners parents would load up a wooden chest of goodies and send it back home to Poland every 3 months for the family who still lived there.
It contained basics that were hard or impossible at times to get there without long queing in lines for often hours…be it coffee,tea, band aids, aspirin etc.
They’d also stuff in what were so called luxury food items over there, plus bottles of Scotch which could be barted for other stuff they wanted via the black market.
They once sent over a large jar of Vegemite in the crate,
They (as usual) got a very thankfull letter for everything….but were told not to send any Vegemite again as they thought it was the worst boot polish they had ever used. 🙂
Cheers.

B, I’ll agree that you’re fine with criminal behavior.

Sheeta, you are right. Under communism, everything is in shortage except poverty. Communism is a form of extreme socialism.

Thats funny skeeta, but I might have thought it boot polish too. I had to google it to find out what it is.

Just for kicks.
Skeetas example of shortage, Poland was not the only place those items were tuff to get at the time. Camaroon for example or even the Canadian north.
Also, Poland was never communist, (you guys mix things sometimes) the entire soviet union was a dictatorship.

I never lived in the soviet union but I was best man to a fellow that escaped from Czechoslovakia, he left of course but there were positives to go with the negatives.

Mathew, we being “capitalist” have zero criminal behavior?
None from Bush? Clintons? Lincon? FDR? Wilson? Pharmaceutical industry? Military complex? Police? Politicians? Lawyers? Judges? Religions? Oil industry? and on and on and on.

No criminality with capitalism alright, criminality is not the difference.

Socialism steels other peoples money? uuhhhmmm excuse me, our capitalist ideals have us steeling entire nations, you guys gotta do better than criminal behavior.

Well, when we bomb somebody it is for their own good,and when we get bombed they are terrorists thats true, but criminal behavior? You should be able to do better than that.

Canada needs a monarchy, Wayne G should be our first King, King Wayne, nice ring to it.

Lot of truth in that b!

b, funny how you and I so often agree on the nature of the crimes being committed, when few others do (or at least don’t comment about it), but when it comes to solutions we’re virtually 180 degrees opposed.

My simple principle: I don’t care what you call the system, if it tends to concentrate power into fewer and fewer hands it’s bad. The specifics we could go round and round on, but it wouldn’t be worth the typing.

I agree with you GH.
I say it as “we need a new system”
I dont know what it is tho. So, alota help I am.

I actually dont think any of our options are sustainable, well for 10 thousand years, say.
All of them seem to last a few hundred.

As to power to fewer people,Im on a board of a condo complex, the main reason I would prefer Monarchy, lol

I am the past president of our Board and you are in manny cases absolutely correct!

B – communism IS dictatorship!

What are you talking about? First of all, criminals will ALWAYS exist. ALWAYS! Second, what you listed, from Bush to FDR, has nothing to do with anything. None of those presidents were friends of free markets and it is absurd to suggest that they were.

The problems you see with the military industrial complex, pharma, oil, etc., are the result of government. Such alliances and the favors that result are socialistic NOT capitalistic in nature. Central authority and the arbitrary power that is used to tilt the playing field in favor of a special few (at the expense of society) IS socialism.

Socialism is inherently unsound (against nature), which is why it always fails. It is FORCE. Capitalism is COOPERATION. You’ve been brainwashed from every angle by your socialist masters to believe the opposite. Everything that you THINK is wrong with capitalism is due to the ever encroaching and corrupting influences of very socialistic power.

The 20th century was the bloodiest in human history because of socialism. The entire global population needs to get a clue — but they won’t, I guarantee it.

Sorry Al, but there is no truth in what B is saying. The socialists and their cronies are stealing TRILLIONS. The guys B calls capitalists aren’t capitalists at all since they’re all in bed with various governments and HATE competition.

Btw, Jeff Deist or Peter Schiff would probably be happy to explain it further.

One more thing B. Socialism can’t exist without theft (force/violence).

Capitalism is a social system based on the principle of individual rights. Politically, it is the system of laissez-faire (freedom). Legally it is a system of objective laws (rule of law as opposed to rule of man). Economically, when such freedom is applied to the sphere of production its result is the free-market. (That great definition came from http://capitalism.org/ )

There will always be criminals but the difference between socialism and capitalism is that socialism itself is criminal, no matter how it’s done, while capitalism is absolutely not.

Mathew, are you trying to tell me capitalism exists?
Like the “american dream” its an illusion.
Socialism is force? uummmm, what was the U.S. for the last 70 years?
My mistake, 200 years, I forgot they negotiated a nice friendly peace with the natives.

Thats your capitilism Mathew, murder and steel for profit, wether its people,animals the water or the very air we breath.
Maybe the other forms are force too, that would be hard to disagree with, but capitalism better? A crockawhalesh@tmaboy, as we would say in the forces. lol

He is a admitted anarchist bb. The guy has no idea what terms like free markets and capitalism even mean. What he wants is another system of theft that most people are unfamiliar with and one where he can operate undetected.

Steal from the poor and line your own fat pockets with filthy lucre.

That is what Anarchy is all about. But they call it capitalism to make it sound nice.

B, your ignorance is criminal.

My ignorance? You guys are “whacked”
Socialisim is at the barrel of a gun, uummmm, were there not guns involved with the war of independence?
Course that capitalism had nothing to do with slavery and genocide, yup, capitalism is great.

Theres no dif people between the systems,there are people running things and other people living with whatever rules are made.

Theory is another story, you might theoretically show one has advantages worth pursuing, but when it comes down to how they actually work, ask the people sleeping on the streets in american cities how its working for them, better yet, Brazil, more capitalist than the states, good grief look at them now.

Now ask the football stars and film stars, of course they love it.
Same goes for other systems, there will always be successful people in any system, and people that end up sleepin on the street.

Capitalism, profit, 30 silver pcs, its killing us.
Lets keep investing in guns and gold mining, like we need more of either.

but, to itch his own, I itch my own.

I just noticed your comment Mathew, “capitalism based on individual rights”.
that is truly funny, you need to watch some George Carlin (that guy was smart),
anyway, as he says, you have 1 right, you have the right of “right this way”.
Straight to the camp. Thats your right Mathew, your capitalism is an illusion, as is democracy. neither exist.
but what the heck, so are time and space.

Guns are almost always involved but that doesn’t exclude the possibility of justice, real justice, not the kind you, b, subscribe to, the kind that so easily falls from your lips. No one is above or equal to the law. The law comes from above, that is why no one is above to equal to it. Now, the Lawgiver from above is God. But the lawgiver for atheist b is god, the god of b’s vain imagination, because b thinks the law can come from man and at the SAME TIME AND IN THE SAME RELATIONSHIP come from above. This can never be. It is nonsense, or as b would say, “Whacked.”

Your ignorance is complete, B.

First, you said above that capitalism doesn’t exist so I would like to know how you can blame it for all the BS that you’re trying pin on it?

Second, what do the actions of the U.S. government and its assorted cronies have to do with capitalism? Have you had a brain injury?

Third, what do you not understand about the difference between individuals cooperating and little scumbags taking what isn’t theirs?

Your beliefs make you the enemy of civilized people everywhere no matter how common your beliefs are.

You are obviously unteachable.

Wayne, you have zero idea what I subscribe to.
Definately not your beliefs tho.
Oh, and justice? Justice my butt, at best revenge, even your god is vengeful if I recall.

Of course capitilism doesnt exist, as soon as you have a “bail out” poof.
Capitilism allows bankruptcy last I heard.

And if your trying to say a government is dif than its system….
Im unteachable by you, well duh
My beliefs make me an enemy? lol Ya ever hear of democracy? Everyone gets an opinion,
maybe deep down you prefer something else? (not that I think we have a democracy, thats your belief, or so you say)

Anyway, its been fun gettin you guys goin. lol
thats all I was tryin to do, you guys gotta lighten up. Lifes short.

King Wayne, spread the word. Anyone that can score 92 deserves to be king.
Elvis was just an imitation,probly an alien anyway.

Sorry B, you AND democracy are the enemy. Criminal is criminal no matter how many idiots vote that it is not.

Mathew?!?
Democracy is the enemy?
ah ha, the truth comes out, you would prefer Monarchy,dictatorship, or communism.
There are a few other option but I forget them right now, too long since I read Plato I guess.
Which one do you prefer?
Democracy is the weakest form so I dont blame you.

Wow, another brilliant comment B. Since you ignored your buddy Birdman, why don’t you start with a free book and then tell me what you think I prefer.
