Matthew, you inspired me to start a Daily Blog on my site as Melbustus suggested.  take a look if you get a chance.

as the stock mkt moves into the green, the cognitive dissonance is thunderous.

you heard it here first.  and it was over a month ago.

i've taken down the Trading Forum for lack of interest and am no longer offering subscriptions.  in retrospect, melbustus was correct in that this Forum didn't translate well to profit altho i probably should've given it more time.

i've also taken down the About Us page since its now not necessary and also eliminated the self promotional stuff.  FRA has now become a pure Daily Blog where i can post my thoughts and ideas.

its much better this way in that there is no pressure to perform from an investment advice perspective when you're accepting ppl's money.  investing is a highly personal process and you can't make a horse drink even after you've lead him to the water of a perfect investment.

the good news is that the readership HAS translated well and i'm getting over 500+ unique ip visitors per day and more in page views now in just the week that i've opened the site.  this is plenty enough validation for my new project as i really do this more out of passion and a dedication to finance, investment, and Bitcoin.  it also allows me to post my thoughts freely w/o getting spammed by every flamer here on this forum.

i did put up a Donate page for anyone caring to support my efforts.

thanks for following and i'll continue to work hard!

there's absolutely no way i can maintain 2 of these, lol.

How the heck did it get unlocked?

Sadly several of my recent shorts are stopped out breakeven, seems gold still have some momentum, waiting for China's mass production come in second half year

There might be a problem. Just like BTC, what if chinese just mine the gold and keep them? With each price raise, they mine more gold and store them in the reserve, and their spending is by loan backed by these gold/silver reserve, so the actual availability of gold/silver is not getting higher, the price will go further up. Then, after FED begin to tighten, they can not get loan and try to sell gold/silver, then there will be a huge crash due to less liquidity

From this view, I tend to change towards long side in the coming years, at least until FED tightens

True, although FED promised an extremely lose policy until 2014, it will face inflation pressure very soon

oh no, but you can trust them this time, I'm sure! Look at Bernankes face, don't you just trust this guy instinctively?

He's even in the blockchain, as you probably know (strings -n 20 blk0001.dat):
