A lot of profits have been made in the market since last September. Does it surprise me that the markets took a major step back on Thursday, when practically all of the gains made since late January were wiped out in a single day?

Are you surprised?

The classic “play-it-safe” mentality would tell you that anytime an investor doubles his money, he should sell half of it, and let the rest of it ride. Both the S & P and Dow have practically doubled since the crash. If you’re not already defensive, then you may want to reconsider.

Michael Moore is enraged after the Wisconsin State Senate voted to strip public unions of the ability to collectively bargain. Speaking on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Moore said “they think they can get away with this.”

Moore also calls for a “student walk-out” across the nation on Friday in response to the Wisconsin vote.

“This has to continue day after day and these governors have to step down,” Moore declared.

“The rich have committed these crimes and the people will demand your ass is in jail,” Michael Moore said with a pair of handcuffs on the set of Maddow’s show.

Moore also shocked the audience by telling the rich and bankers that “we have a right to your money!”

Much of the recent and ongoing success in tapping these areas’ mineable gold reserves is simply due to the fact that low-grade (to 1.3 grams / tonne gold) near-surface (oxidised) ores can be recovered economically. A new challenge will be to economically recover low-grade sulphide ore by open pit and/or underground methods.Much of the recent and ongoing success in tapping these areas’ mineable gold reserves is simply due to the fact that low-grade (to 1.3 grams / tonne gold) near-surface (oxidised) ores can be recovered economically.
