I like all your points.

1) I like Glenn Beck and I think Americans need to at least have his perspective from a menu to choose from instead of the rah-rah USA stuff they get fed with a spoon from all their other media outlets.

3) The CDN dollars strength is going to kill our economy. We are basically at par, and once that happens our manufacturing sector is destroyed which is a big part of our economy at this point.

5) The jig is up for Wall St and I think you've just seen the deflation. As all commodities are rising that will come through in the end products in the near future.

6) I'm sure some can make a living by simply going where others aren't. I lot of the predictions I heard over the past year are coming to fruition and if these folks continue to be right, this is just the beginning.

Clearly you have hedged your mind with your money by investing in jr explorers. Either way you win!
