The actions mentioned by the GREAT Dr. Sowell to the likes of the unqualified such as Derrick Bell are nothing more than pre-emptive surrender. IS IT ANY WONDER WHY WE NOW HAVE SUCH A CLUELESS PRESIDENT ? And don't forget the 53% of American MORONS who elected him !

Poindexter - you are a clueless TWIT ! Anyone w/ a modicum of intelligence understands why gold was hammered down on the last day of Feb. (here's a hint idiot: do you suppose a naked short of 22 Million ounces against paper gold by the usual suspects has an effect ??? ) Those in-the-know are grateful...puts physical on sale for the wise ! That's why London physical is fleeing the loading dock to Asia & the M/E as fast as it's coming in the front door for those who are looooooong. What a DUMBA$$ !

C'mon Jeff - We all know why gold took a dive.It's "imploding" as you say because the big guys want it to do so.When CME again raised their margins so did their counterpart in China.Their (Shanghai Gold Exchange) increase was even larger than CME's so gold dropped big time (silver,too). It was a free discount for people like me...I was a buyer !

Krugman...a/k/a SLUGman ! He is the lowest of the low - - an UBER-bottom feeder,but what else does one expect from that pit of snakes at the NYCrimes rag.

You came close w/ stooge,John...but he's so much less. I think useful IDIOT is so much more apt.
