Craig Hemke, who is commonly known with his nick
Turd Ferguson in the on-line community, has thoroughlly reorganized the forum on
his site.
All previous fora and threads are archived and have become read-only.
The active fora remaining are specifically aimed at two target groups: 'Traders' and 'Stackers & Preppers'
Facing a declining number of visitors and many of the fora left deserted or with only few active threads, the reorganization aims at concentrating posters belonging to the two target groups mentioned above. There almost seems a religious divide between those two categories when focusing on their extremes:
1) Among the 'traders' the slick Goldman Sachs commodity expert, having made his fortune in short-selling gold futures... and handsomely covering and moving long as the downward trend is losing momentum or when too many small speculators got in.
2) Among the 'stackers and preppers' you find the typical 'Tea Party Republicans' , having their countryside house reinforced and stacked with weapons, ammunition, canned food, a gasoline supply for years to come and -of course- their main assets converted to
bullion gold and silver. They are fully prepared for the imminent demise of American Society and fully loaded up on whatever they expect to be out of supply soon after disaster strikes.
You don't feel any affinity with either? Then you're like the majority of people, possibly also Turd who fears for the second scenario to develop, but continues as a financial adviser and hence trading for a living while the system holds together.
