Giving up

The Dude has decided to shut down this website as the powers that be have finally effected a solution to the economic problems the world faces.

I will be selling my Gold today and buying long dated US Treasury bonds and US financial stocks.

Hi Dude !

Been a lurker here for quite awhile. Thanks for all the insight and input. You make a few of us "out there" think. Also, bought a few books you've been reading over the last few months - good stuff. Hope your golf index comes down a bit for you this spring. Anyhow.. guess STS can't take a joke.. The only april fools out there are the ones not buying this dip. Thanks for all your input.

HA HA HA HA HA!

the Dude has a laff!

Here's one: I read Baudrillard's Global Debt and Parallel Universes - and I understood it!

REALLY!! In terms of McLuhan of course (I'm still digesting him). I don't know what I was reading by Bau before - and I couldn't get through a paragraph.

Remember you did that post on the infinite debt a while ago (which I'll have to go back and read again as I didn't get the Baudrillard part having never read the essay.)

Another laff? I just ordered a copy of Impossible Exchange for $4.95 from Amazon. NO JOKE!!!

The joke will be years from now, when I still won't get what he's talking about there.......

Gold took a hit today bigtime, but I'm about to cash out and go 100%Gold - well, almost..... I just can't take this criminal activity. Sure makes me mad.

Cary,

Yes, we are well. I hope the same is true of you.

Our son turned 7 a few months ago and we just finished building a new house.

The old email addresses still work so drop us a line.

enigma,

Doug Kass was kidding too, which was my point. You know a joke is carried too far when nobody can read the layers of irony any more ;)

I would make a joke about the dude moving the price of gold with his "sell" signal, but it's already April 3. Maybe next year.
