Stacy Summary: Reminder to both old and new users (and myself) that Jibber Jabber threads are for your off topic conversation and links. Any threads pertaining to episodes of our shows or to specific headlines should hopefully attract comments relevant to just that. Anyway, to start off this jibber jabber thread, I am reading this article that finds while 400 people in Britain earned over £10 million in 2007, only 65 of them paid taxes.

Bad Luck Befalls Buddies of Neo-B’s

Posted on February 17, 2010 by stacyherbert| 88 Comments

Stacy Summary: After feeling dizzy and having difficulty breathing, someone we know from the South of France just recently went to the hospital. Once at the hospital, they put her into a medically induced coma and doctors now apparently say her chances of surviving are dimming. She is one of the women mentioned in this BAE/Saudi story here. I believe we mentioned her a few years ago at the time that the story came out. In light of the ‘missing’ Bandar and now a Saudi Prince murdering someone in London, it seems very bad luck befalls those who cross the path of the neo-B’s. But who is the one true Neo-B of them all?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by stacyherbert| 103 Comments

Stacy Summary: Re: the Soros story . . . remember that at the same time he was doubling his stake in GLD, he was dissing gold as an investment in many interviews warning that gold was the ‘ultimate bubble;’ and as you can see from this headline in the Telegraph, the newspaper warned gold was about to crash based on Soros’ warning.
