With resepect to Mr Market, I think me bank manager also has a good chuckle from time to time. When I ask for more money I cry when I loose it, he laughs, When I repay it early He cries and I laugh....mostly I think he laughs though ;-)

With all this talk of the Sept/Oct periods being so bad traditionally are we talking ourselves into selling mode? Does anybody know if it is a real fact that this period is always goes through a slump? I know that these are the risks we take but would hate to sell because of historic perception which could be noting more than just that........a perception not really based on fact.

Gold not very tasty, and when it gets out the "kettle" it's too darn hot to drink.
