There used to be a time before a rogue geologist brought down the Vancouver, British Columbia VSE stock exchange, that in turn brought about the hard sell of American geologists qualifying for Canada’s 43-101 compliance — even respected names out of our U.S. Geological Survey, and employees of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, finishing out their careers in public service trying to do the professional “trusted” thing after Congress for some unexplained reason did away with a much needed U.S. Bureau of Mines. Perhaps our Wall Street experts had such power they needed to control the public knowing of how fast the really intelligent greedy geologists could flip the spread sheet values of a lead mine.

As the publisher of www.DiversifiedInvestments.net, I also am totally annoyed at the cell phone calls we have been plagued with, trying to explain that we are NOT the SEC approved stock sales corporation that has walked off with their long term 401-K retirement programs. If you don’t even know the cyber “home office” of someone you sent your hard-earned dollars to, guess you don’t need our of advice how to collect, as we really don’t know that either.

I also am very sorry if you are used to getting your financial advice through those mining company press releases that promise the excitement of a 200 percent, per year, return, on the discovery of an American Rare Earths deposit that one of the editors of www.WesternMiner.com — Ron Anderson at 775-530-5045) has known about for years. He currently is working on a gold / rare earths project somewhere in Western America that is wide open, at this time, for staking by Association Placer Claims, by individuals, that may be the only financial security program left where corporations are the only investors not legal under “blue sky” securities regulations.

Another “insider’s” tip concerning anything of a financial “minerals bubble” is that as a reality gold miner from Alaska to Panama, I am still laughing over the fact of Florida “securities” lawyer (is that a licensed securities broker position?) actually tried to peddle the idea, as he had a photo of a “friend” visiting his home village in China, that Americans could take advantage of bringing our “American Injun-iuty” into a force to be reckoned with to benefit this gold deprived third world nation that in reality has passed us buy, along with South Africa, to become the world’s leader in gold production. I just read today that a modern shopping mall in China is displaying a 3,215 troy ounce gold “dragon” bar, as a advertisement for frugal Chinese workers to buy gold through a gold vending machine. And that the Golden Yuan standard is coming.

So, it comes down to this for you, “Pilgrims.” interested in stopping the financial doomsday clock ticking by investing in precious metals, you really need to go back to the classroom — which is anywhere other than “mining industry power press releases,” legally spammed out of Vancouver, B.C (of the VSE Briex scandal fame), Toronto (of pump and dump CAF securities violations to TSX investors) , New York (of the NASDAQ Maddox Mob), and London (as officially recognized by the SEC for being of home of the Prime Bank scheme and insurance wraps) you really need to bypass the “mining sector financial experts” causing all the havoc in the supply side of mining, Here my “cute story” is after wasting time on a phone call with an Eaton accent, I got a follow-up E-mail where a stockpile of “Ore,” was spelled as “Oar.”
