If you know how to crunch an Excel spreadsheet —if smart enough in the early days of computer calculations to have a dumped a Lotus123 learning curve, for Microsoft— then go figure what you would have lost in storage charges, and “no interest paid!” on a $10 K investment in metals-in-hand would be worth —against your DOW stocks 10-years later. I personally lost on Enron Energy. I made it up with a reasonable hedge bet on tradable silver bars under my mattress that almost made it to a 400 percent return in the same period of time. Who knew that would happen? Apparently not the NYC financial media. Or did they?

As I have explained elsewhere, the Financial Industry does not believe in the principles of Edward Demming and his Total Quality Movement, where all of the “team” participants of a manufacturing process and subsequent transactions need to win. Using his logic, outside suppliers, and those individuals who believed enough in the product to make a long term capital investment should also be protected from the moral bankruptcy of a very few —but the all important ‘End Customer’ is not supposed to be the rich kid who happens to own the ball.

What happened to the American worker? A hostile takeover engineered by Wall Street, in harmony with their hired CEO ‘Golden Parachute Boys,’ the only Main Street manufacturing residents that have benefited in the scrapping out solid American Industry Icons for 12 pieces of artificially controlled silver.

What happened to General Motors? Was he court marshaled by the multinational control of Axis Powers in WWII for building better tanks? Or, because the control freaks leading Wall Street’s, foreign, hostile takeover of American Manufacturing just had to rub GM Presidents face in the mud for defending his company back in the 1980's by insubordinately stating, “What is good for General Motors is good for the USA”?

How is it that American author Demming was only listened to by corporate leaders in Japan, very much interested in using quality as a secret weapon of how to sell cars. All our “high on the hog” financial leadership at the time could answer with was, “Trickle Down Economics!” Which, as you know from your paycheck/portfolio performance, quickly turned into a, “Tinkle Down Effect.”

So what does a self employed Far West miner have to do with all of this? The last paycheck I received was on mustering out of the USAF after “fighting” the “Cold War,” with a one step above top secret clearance supplying intelligence to Curtis Lamay, the general that crushed the terrorists of Pearl Harbor. Because of my photo reconnaissance technical background I am trying, once again, to present a clear picture to investors why they should not be sucked in by traitors supporting the destruction of my America. That it is not in his best interest for America to support foreign ‘futures,’ purchased on the margin as leveraged paper has had such a A-bomb effect on a free enterprise system, where the U.S. was once noted to be a benevolent world leader of prosperity.
