Sorry, I don't THINK so. This isn't a question of whether he profited from it or not, its a question of whether he is trying to cause a run on a bank, which would be a felony. The Feds have made it known they are looking for the perps on these bank rumors, and it appears he maybe have...

Not that I'm any legal expert, but if that photo isn't one taken of a Wachovia branch taken in the yesterday as you said in the first post, my guess is that would be a felony. I have no position in WB, nor do I care what becomes of it, but if you committed a crime here, I'd like to see you...

It was money way back then. $20 gold pieces were what you had in your pocket and in your safety deposit box. Its not very useful now except as a collectors item because you can't just spend it. My guess is they stopped selling them because they are going to raise the prices again, thats all.

It won't do any good because very few people have any amount of gold these days, other than what is held in ETF's, and coin collections, jewelry, etc. Back in the 30's everyone had $20 gold pieces, and many shipped them to Europe as the U.S. went into depression. The law was enacted to stop...

If you try to spend more than you make for 40 or 50 years on end, eventually it gets to where when you want to borrow an ADDITIONAL $3 BILLION EVERY DAY, that lenders start worrying about risk. First with the people, then banks and financial corps, and next with our government.

Agree, the cons need to be sent on perp walks, then they will stop

Sorry to burst your bubble, but we are net importers of food these days, too.

I remember the fear and panic. I've never been so scared. My friends were laughing at me. It was the only day of my life I bought a lottery ticket. Most of my money was in a mutual fund, and I recall coming to the realization that *IF* I could get through to sell, it would be at the NEXT...

Ask again when they own *EVERYTHING*

It wouldn't do any good. The last few didn't and neither would another.

$10 or $15 trillion isn't so much unless you are the one that gets stuck paying it off. All it would take is $100 billion per year for 100 years

Let's just hope the Arabs and Chinese don't see it. I don't think I'd want to have the U.S. owing me trillions when they also owe everyone else trillions, and are wanting to borrow more each month.

Answer B was correct. Those were opportunities. Just depends how you looked at it.

recalculate it as a percentage of production instead and the number is much higher because we consume so much more than we produce. comparing it to the "size of the economy" is a way to distort its true size

Own what the people selling oil will want to buy...

$960 today, Surf Bad trades never die..... What research?

Just a LITTLE off the mark? DUH!

Yeah, but if they hike it sends an "ABANDON SHIP" signal to homebuilders, commercial builders, retailers, automakers, mortgage lending, investment banks, and commercial banks. Its checkmate, IMO

They won't ever get the gold to sell. And if they did, it would just be sold to another central bank. The little people will never see one stinking ounce of it.

It wouldn't be fair to let this thread die.
