chuckwoww Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 So everybody feels good for a while. Meanwhile the budget deficit is still out there, China still needs commodities and there are still a lot of angry Muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 If the muslims are angry so be it, is there anything the Americans would have done different if some fanatical religion had not tried to blow up two of its buildings on home soil. IMO I don't think the islamic thing is as bad as it is made out to be, yes sure, there are a few nuts out there but steps to squeeze their money supplies have been 99% of the answer, and good surveillance being the rest. Let's face it, 99.999% of Islamic people are quite nice, but even the good ones are scared to voice their opinions, not unlike how Nazi Germany kicked off except in this case, their is no great mobile army being garnished ... well, except for a token Pakistani army Ps The lower US dollar is good for us aussies, and internally, the US wants a low dollar for import/export reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Sure most Muslims just want a quiet life. It's just a few extremists who feel constantly humiliated. I think at some point the West will have to let them win one. I expect some kind of negotiations with the Taliban to begin soon....and maybe a meaningful gesture to the Palestinians.

exit2dos Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I sell jewelry with about a 500% markup. With silver rising, what I have in stock is just pure gravy. Did buy some ore this year. Plan to sell it with a 10X markup. What's the current wholesale price, per gram, for sterling silver jewelry, like rings, earrings, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
