    When you read this it is chilling. No wonder gold imo is going to soar to unimaginable prices. When uranium was just a few dollars a pound did anyone imagine uranium would soar to way over $100 a pound?

    Dear Jim,

    The litany of disasters continues. The Fed has only one alternative to improve its balance sheet - get money from the Federal Government.

As always you have called it again and again.

    Respectfully yours,
    Monty
