Pretty sure this has been ongoing for a couple of years now. They've probably just tightened it further.

Heading to Nashville, go Preds!

I'll try to keep the tinfoil hat off for this. Is it physical or paper? If physical, then hold onto it forever; it can easily be 'willed' without government tracking. If paper, then it'll peak when the global economy sorts itself out - it's been a store of wealth for 2000+ years and there is no substitute. There is no set path forward, but I would suspect it has another $1k to go at a minimum. Also, gambling is a bit of a rush too, no? Cheers!

Let's not forget that gold, for the last 50 years, has been a drag on any investment portfolio. Recent price appreciation has caused a frenzy of interest that I suspect will cost many a ton of dough. It might come in handy to own some gold when there is a steep drop in the US equity markets, but otherwise, it's just yellow metal that has a strong emotional hold on humanity.

My pick for the Super Bowl winner? Based on recent form I'd guess the Seattle Seahawks.

1) Gunners, 3 2) Pats, under 3) Hawks, 1-6 4) 3 Cheers!

Even good/great actors can put in a bad performance in a bad movie. Often, the process of movie making fails and drags competent talent down. Remember Robin Williams in Popeye? I'd take issue with a few mentioned but Steven Seagal is a disgrace to the screen. Vin Diesel is terrible.

Soo...Robot Chicken?? Great show BTW. Cheers!

Natural gas hitting $15/dth at Chicago city gate for tomo. It's gonna be an interesting 10 days or so with supply concerns from Tex/Ok and Utica shale plays with weather events of their own. Good luck to you all, and stay warm! Cheers

I had a box of MUR 12s. Long gone but they were all solid 95 pt sticks. Superb box.

Laura Dern. After seeing Inland Empire (the worst movie ever made and a brutal endurance test) I just can't look at this face 😕 . If you have seen that movie you know why.

I won't be taking pics in the crap that is coming. Kansas City area is expecting -25 below wind chills and 6-9 inches of snow this weekend..

Ok, there’s a crazy cold front hitting most of the US and Canada. I’d be curious to see just how crazy it gets. Please submit pics to help us all stay preoccupied. -10 F tomorrow morning in Chicago. Bonus points for pics including a lit cigar…

I think someone made a code change and then took the day off!

Cohiba or Partagas

Nothing like getting my e-mails 6-hours after they were sent to me.

I had to stop watching a recent series due to Claire Danes.

They don't suck. Been a couple years since I have seen one.

1) Draw / 2 goals 2) Patriots win / Over 3) Rams win / 1-6 Tie Breaker - 7+ sacks

Toscano Originales. Good hair day.

Hurts doesn't it?

Not great news for a stock that has already been lagging.

I’m not an expert but I think Gold still has quite a bit of room with central banks still buying large quantities, retail investors in more notes than ever and the crazy world we live in. One day when it does fall it might be a big drop but nobody knows. In general, if I have an investment that doubles I’ll sell half so the money I have left invested cost me nothing. That way, you realized your gain but still can ride possible upside. If it doubles again I may do the same or just trim a bit.

Man U win/ 3 Patriots/ under Seahawks/ 7-13 7+
