I dabbled in gold and silver during the 90's. It was profitable to say the least. I'm a bit worried that at a thousand bucks an ounce, we may be near the top. But, I thought that at 750.Originally Posted by Dr. Dave
I'm still learning about stops and shorts and the like. I've never done any of that.
Buying mining stocks seems like a fine idea though. I don't think the economy is going to be so strong anytime soon, that it will drive the price of gold down.
In times like these, we could use a little more what you can do for your country, that's for sure.
Doc, Pennies are more fun. But stocks that are in the 10 dollar range are just fine too. I really like stocks that are priced under 20 bucks the most. I can afford to play with them. It's hard to buy and sell Apple, Google, and the like.
What gets tricky sometimes is when you buy gold stocks expecting them to follow gold, but then they dump along with regular stocks. I've traded AUY quite a bit, and it does happen, but I played the patterns pretty tight and came out ahead in the long haul... which, you have to be ready to be wrong on a regular basis. Ok, now it's time to see what I can do for my boss.
See you folks later!
You guys all eating dinner or something??
Yeppers....ate dinner and was watching True Blood. Now HellboyII:The Golden Army is coming on, but I am in the Man Cave, so I can type and watch T.V. at the same time.
Dinner? Just had me some red snapper, pan fried in butter and lemon pepper, it was the bomb!!!! Just like the fancy restaurants serve down south!!!
Picked up our moose from the processor today. We had it made into burger, breakfast sausage and jalepeno and cheese links!!!
I had to clear out some freezer space for the moose meat, so Im doing up a couple of cases of smoked salmon this week!!!
You know, I drove all over Wyoming & Montana for nearly two weeks looking for a damned moose...always two minutes too late!
Why? Because I saw a photograph of a moose that had dove under the water for food and come up with grass in it's snout -- I really wanted (and still do!) to see a big ass moose return from being submerged in the water!!!
Had a phenomenal road trip -- it was in celebration of my 30th birthday -- spent six weeks on the road --
Yellowstone was one of my hightlights -- mostly because I was so fortunate to have been able to watch a pack of wolves take down a bull elk. They had that bad boy down and to the bone is what seemed like five minutes...must've been a half hour. I was stunned - time meant absolutely nothing.
The side note to this is that I had a run-in with a bison a half mile and half hour prior to the elk-dinner.
There's something freaky about taking a casual walk into a meadow - to photograph a beautiful animal - and to realize that the creature that you're photographing is closer than he was 10 seconds ago & gaining speed. Long story short, I maintained composure/eye contact and backed up quickly to my truck.
There's more to the story -- but the rest is about how non-smart a guy can be...
...
In any case, I've greatly enjoyed your photos that you've shared & hope to see more in the future!

PS: by chance (or plan), do you keep an online journal of your adventures?
Funny....Moose are pretty elusive, especially when relatives from down south come up to visit...It seems that they always go into hiding when looked for....yet when I drove my daughter to school this morning...4 houses down the street from ours.... low and behold theres a moose laying in the neighbors front yard!!!
Yeah, its not till the last day of their trip that they finally catch a glimpse of one.
A blog???? Nah, Im not the greatest when it comes to writing as you can tell....plus, I'd never get off this computer if I typed about all the adventures I've had over my life.
I'll save those stories for our weekend discussions!!!!
Andy
P.S. I guess you cant stay away from the puter either, huh Ramsey? Its all good..I enjoy your posts!!!!!
I have been completely enthralled by your images & stories, Andy!
I, of course, encourage you to start a blog. Wordpress offers a free blog that is super simple to create and update!
One thing that I've done is purchased the domain name for my son's name - and also myself and wife. I just couldn't bring myself to allow another cat - with my name - to have "my name".com
As of the moment, there's nothing going on with the sites. I need to figure out what to do with them. My son's site is active but is in desperate need of an update. It's www.augustreignramsey.com --- I did a flash site for him through blu.com - I'm thinking that a blog would've been better, though.

Moose. Man, let me tell ya...
Growing up in the hills...I often reminisce about the animals that would walk through our yard and across the mountain.
My son asked me, a few days ago, to take him to the place that I used to catch "crawl dads". Nearly brought a tear to my eye...

Adventures...life is but the memories of the days past, aren't they?
