The man says he loves astrology, does anyone else concur?

“It’s going to go back to when only rich people can fly,” I told the soldier.  “Remember when it was like that?”  I had just read this article:
Continental becomes latest U.S. airline to cut service

Basically they are grounding planes, laying off employees and raising prices simultaneously.

“It will only stay that way so long,” he said. “And then it will go right back the way it was, just as soon as people quit flying and there are not enough rich people to sustain them.”

“I don’t know about that. Eventually yes but it may be a long time recovering. I don’t think it’s that easy to get your customer back once you lose them. People are funny with their habits. Once they change them, you’ve got a problem.”

I track the price of gold and have for many years. Today I read that gold was connected to the Galactic Center… I have no expertise in this area but it prompted me to research and I came across this old thread on Kitco.com - the premier site for gold bugs (like me). Astrology and Gold

Here is another thread from a different forum:

LT Astrological Look Out Below, Astronomy on Charts

And then there is this:

Precious Metals Bull Market until 2006-7?

Gold is currently near it’s all time high of $850 per ounce in 1980 but if that figure were adjusted for inflation it would be about $2145 an ounce per this chart - Inflation-Adjusted Gold Price - 1915-2007

Anyone have anything they can add? In what direction do you think the price of gold is headed and why?

The New York Post reports: China Markets May Have Peaked

Tracy Byrnes writes:

“According to the Chinese calendar, 2007 is the year of the pig, and in Chinese astrology that means good fortune.

But questions remain as to whether this current growth is sustainable….”

I love to see astrology in the mainstream news but I wish they would not couch these things. “May have peaked”? Have they peaked or have they not peaked? This is what we want to know. Non-writing like this drives me insane. And yeah, I know I’m pretty close to the sane/insane line but you know. Tell us something real. Tell us something definitive I wish.

This is a Saturn Neptune headline if I have ever seen one. From TheStreet.com:

Do you agree? Think we’re living in a hologram? Think we’re in denial and that the veil is going to drop?

Meet Henry Weingarten of the Astrologers Fund.

I have reading this guy for many years. And buying and selling stocks on his advice, for that matter. He has been touting gold for a long time…which is now at a 25 year high and climbing.

Weingarten is a Leo. I don’t know him, but he mentions this now and then. And he is calling for gold to reach $800 an ounce by 2008. And I was thinking about this in relation to the other Saturn in Leo blogs (here, and here). Saturn favors reality and Gold (Leo) has real value, as opposed to money that just keeps coming off a press…or the things you own, but you owe on.

But anyway, Weingarten sells subscriptions, but offers some of his work, a week delayed. See “Wall Street Next Week” which updates Friday mornings. He also writes a newsletter from time to time and it’d be nice to see him get some credit for his work.

Because at this point the mainstream is yakking about gold…they are calling for $1000 an oz and so forth, but Weingarten was waaaaaay ahead of the pack on this one.

So what do you think? Is gold the new platinum? How high will it go?
