Slaughter on Precious Metal Avenue as per the across the board price drop today. I sure hope the stock market has ridden up the other end of the seesaw to offset this.

After gold went up $1000 an ounce in the last 2 years, I wouldn’t consider a $20 drop a slaughter. Hey, anyone remember when gold was $300 – $400 an ounce and only those crazy goldbugs said it would go to $1000

CaliSkier,

I for one choose not to align myself with the reason(s) you’ve stated for your reticence regarding joining the CCAC as a General Public member. In fact, to make what could turn into a long story short, I would say that your above exceptionally well written comment itself should by any and all standards suffice beyond question to establish your credentials, or bona fides if you will, for membership in that body.
