Hi techie, the IP address is the tip of the iceberg that reveals personal information and is a reason why I also mentioned possible protective measures such as anonymous web surfing.

spotted this article. hows does IP address relate to “their home address, picture, resume, social security number”?

Any operating system still needs a portal to the internet. IE 8.0 is one. I use Mozilla Firefox.
Windows 95, 2000, xp, vista, 7, all could use IE 8.0. Server 2003 is like XP in that it’s the operating system; IE 8.0 is the browser.

I thought it was Windows XP running Internet Explorer 8.0?

What’s interesting is the Operating System. Windows 2003 is a server application. Most employees will not have access to a server. It’s probably some techie who has caught wind of something from one of his overlords.

Jason Hommel had one at the Silver Summit the last time I spoke there. I was looking around on the Internet real quick but did not see any. I think it was a special run and they are all sold out. Maybe some will come up on Ebay? I think such satirical coins would be a good seller also.

Trace – Are there actual CTFC Appreciation Medallions for sale? I think they *could* be a big seller. Or if they are available for purchase, can you advise from where they might be acquired? – Dave

Hi Lane, I already did an article on gold confiscation.

Hey Trace. What do you think of future confiscation in the us considering the future major drop in the dollar? Would you consider doing an article on this? Thanks

Thought you would like it! I agree about the investment demand and you are spot on like usual. I have started getting pretty bullish about platinum.

I have a friend I play golf with who was on the call a couple weeks ago with some hedge funds that handle the trades for a major railroad and he said platinum is going to explode. This was after I had already recommended it and it had gone up $500/ounce. I think there is a bunch of inelastic demand built into a lot of the legislation. Plus, there is only about 7 million ounces or $7-10B of platinum produced annually. Imagine how tight that market will get if investment demand moves in.

Trace– nice job tracing out GS!! Lol… Just completed the March issue of The Morgan Report– the entire issue is devoted to the silver market going out the next ten years..

We look at Industrial
Solar, medical, water, rfid tags, nano-tech, textiles, consumer electronics, superconductivity, wood preservation, and on and on. But as you know Trace the real story is Investment demand– I have yet to see anyone get this part where it really impacts the reader.. Have done our best to hit our subscribers over the head with the facts– I am more bullish on silver than ever… Will check in after my Chicago trip.. funny seems the boys on the floor and the options pits are thinking real not paper silver– isn’t that interesting… DM

It look like JPMorgan has taken this one step further.

I just sold some silver on Ebay to a person with a JPMorgan.com email adress…
Maybe they are trying to buy physical to cover their shorts ;-)

Coolsaint, you would actually be surprised how ignorant a lot of financial professionals are when it comes to the monetary role of gold and silver. Despite what we think, the gold and particularly silver niche is TINY. I have quite a few friends at GS, JPM, etc. Was just golfing with 3 members of the board of directors for a large publicly traded bank and they know the system is FUBAR and yet they were actually of the opinion we would go back to barter, like eggs for butter, and not use a digital gold currency like GoldMoney. But this ignorance is no surprise considering the education system; 'we're all Keynesians now'.

I would not think anyone from GS would have to “search” google to learn about buying silver or anything else .
