Dow ends at lowest close in more than 6 years

thats ok by me, my precious metals ROTH account finally
is no longer 'underwater'

last year the metals got hammered, & my balance was less than
the money i invested plus the monies paid out in dividends & long-term capital gains for the years 2000- 2008.

feb 19th is a banner day for me................... yay !!

Not quite sure where to put this, but decided to post here as it's a central meeting point on the board.

Folks on GM ought to know about this thread, I believe:

President tries closing down federal reserve

(historical, but could have a bearing on many current discussions)

Gold is on the way through the roof. I believe this is the beginning of the gold trend upward. Prepare for $2,000 gold by the end of the year.

Markets may open very badly tomorrow. So far this guy has been dead on calling this stuff:

CAUTION: October 87 Re-Run On Deck?

This is pretty much an open letter to Obama and Geithner.

DJIA futures 7447.95 7319.0 -128.95

and the race to the bottom continues...

I expect the dollar to lose all of this false value very soon.

It will only be so long before the governments efforts to hold back the market will backfire.

Wow I didn't think it would jump from 840 to 1000 in a month...But here it is. Our dollar has to be taking a hit. If we could only see M3.

PRECIOUS-Gold hits 11-mth high, eyes $1,000 on haven demand

* Gold rise to more than $990/oz * SPDR gold, iShares silver ETFs hit record levels * Anglo American cuts platinum output target by 300,000 oz (Updates with new high, adds comment, detail) By Jan Harvey LONDON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Gold jumped to an 11-month high on Friday as risk averse investors bought the precious metal as a safe store of value, and analysts see it breaching $1,000 an ounce. Spot gold struck a high of $992.30, its strongest level since March 19. At 1223 GMT it was at $992.00/994.00 an ounce against $973.75 in New York late on Thursday. The metal is poised to rise further, possibly targeting last March's all-time high of $1,030.80 an ounce, analysts said.
