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.

Pulling a Doug Kass, are we? Hoping for a regular slot on "The Mad Bull"?
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.
I'm catching up on the blog...am clearly years behind...hope you guys are well...cary in singapore
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.
