If what you say is true - I have my doubts - then it is remarkable that the Tibetan people retain such an affection for him: to the extend of risking torture and imprisonment just for having his picture. There would be one way of settling the matter for certain which would be to hold...

I'm not on a payroll, unfortunately, although if anyone wants to employ me as a propagandist, feel free to contact me...if you want propaganda in defence of totalitarian regimes I'll pass.. http://dalailama.com and http://tibet.com/future.html have some information on the Dalai Lama's views...

Beijing apparently employs an army of spammers to pump out propaganda ahead of the Olympics. Jinbojones registered on 03-21-08 and has 6 posts exclusively about Tibet and wickedness of the Dalai Lama. It makes you think. Its worth pointing out that the Dalai Lama is a democrat. The Tibetan...

An interesting account by a Belgian tourist of the situation in Tibet "The day seems to be silent and peacefull, even boring. Until 6 o´clock. then 100s of Tibetans gather together on the Bakhor Square. They form a strong, silent, peacefull circle around the police who keep the middle of...

How rich is Jim Rogers? He's not on the Forbes list. How much money has he actually made? If you read Investment Biker he was hopelessly wrong on a lot of his predictions. For example S. Ireland. Following his tips wouldn't have made you money. As has been pointed out he doesn't actually...

OK that explains it. Thanks for the clarification:)

I sold some july 70 puts on NUE in April. At the end of May they were split 2:1 for July 35 puts. I've never heard before of splits on options. Is this a common occurrence?

Dear old Philip Morris - never lets you down.... Great call Arnie. I went short the 65 puts, as you suggested :D

That's why I usually trade NEM. The options seems to be the most liquid for some reason, more so than XAU. It has become, perhaps, the preferred instrument for gold speculators. Neither YG or ZG seem to have any options available on them. I trade options exclusively. The problem with GLD...

What is the best way to trade the gold price? Gold shares have greater volatility than the actual spot price, which gives you more profit potential. NEM? Seems to have the best liquidity. XAU? Or gold futures? Options on gold futures seem interesting but I don't know where to start...
