since i couldn't get a short off on GPL due to no shares available, i've shorted SkRRJyTC's AG; First Majestic today.
LOL Being in at ~$2/share from a few years ago, I won't be selling any AG soon. Not that I'll be buying more, either - I'd rather stay in the Bitcoin economy.

I diversified into a 10 ton crane on a semi sized truck. And, unhappily, a class-A commercial drivers license which I'll be keeping secret so people don't try to rope me into driving their trucks. Part of the justification would be to have something to pull the excavator which silverbox and I were discussing 100 pages back in this thread, and which I have not yet identified. My hope is that I can get such a machine for a Krugerrand or two...or better yet a couple of BTC if I can hold out that long before legitimately needing the thing.

...
Nice! I have been thinking about getting a new front bumper and a winch for my truck ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I haven't bitten the ClassA bullet, my brother in law has one ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I've got just the thing for you! The truck had a home-made set of outriggers. They weigh about 1000 lbs and are very heavily built. They were very handy when I changed the front wheels. They hung way over the front wheels and had very bad clearance so I removed them and mounted a standard-ish bumper as I don't need to or expect to need to work off the front of the truck very much. (Just kidding, BTW...they are pretty unsatisfactory for almost anything but one could put a 40,000 lb winch on it and remove the cylinders to make a couple of log splitters...)

Gold and silver are going to go under their lows from 5 days ago (~1740 or ~34), but not below major support at ~1650 or ~30, before continuing to higher highs. Just thought I should put one of my predictions to the test as well as bashing Cypher's ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Under 1740 and 34... now to find support above 1650 and 30. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Time for the continuing to higher highs part. We wont go under 1650 or 30.

It's not like you can load up your gold card shortly before each purchase like you could with a bitcoin card.

i said credit card not pre-paid card There. Gold is best for settling very large balances. The smaller the account, the more risk is assumed by the client due to the need for trusting the service provider.

They should and now they can. See below gold accounts have 3rd party risk. It's not like you can load up your gold card shortly before each purchase like you could with a bitcoin card.
Now you can, if you have internet access. See below i said credit card not pre-paid card
I say: how about a Gold (or silver)-backed debit card and an offshore account in a bank who does not fractional reserve, with very low costs, owned by one of the most respected precious metals guys around, available only to non-US citizens? Check out my link: http://tinyurl.com/astnu2j
