What rhymes with Bretty?
feddy pretty petty
gold price today?
Every bull market in precious metals has to have at least one year in which it corrects by 30 percent or more. This very well could be the necessary correction before metals can again challenge new highs. The underlying fundamentals that has created this bull market has not changed. So of those being; high consumer and government debt, high inflation, increases in unemployment, trouble in financial institutions including the recent problems with Feddy and Fanny. Look for more problems to arise out of this current environment. Including more bank failures and higher unemployment figures along with both more government and more personal spending and the continuation of little to no personal saving. I expect to see both gold and silver to continue their downward spiral until the ETFs (electronic traded funds) finish their sell offs. The funds have grown to massive size since their inception. This selloff could be very rapid and could have already contributed to this decline. Look for a rapid decline with a equally rapid recovery.
Why do they call an assist a dime?
== Headline -- The more likely answer here is that handing out a dime or a dropping a shiny dime comes from the fact that the rich used to actually hand out dimes to help the poor in tough times. Rockefeller, for one, was known to hand out new "shiny dimes" on street corners. This is a hypothesis...but I believe a solid one which seems likely to be the true origin. A suggestion: The word is not infrequently used in the expression "drop n dimes," as in "Chauncey scored 24 points and dropped 8 dimes." The Urban Dictionary website notes that to "drop a dime" (he dropped a dime on George for stealing the car)is slang meaning to turn someone in for a crime (when there were payphones and payphone calls cost a dime!). Dropping a dime is thus assisting in the capture of a criminal, and, by extension, assisting a teammate in a score. Someone named Tom Dalzell sent the American Dialect Society Mailing List a short excerpt from an article by Dan Cahill in the Chicago Sun-Times, March 18, 1994, page 132. It is about a CBS and ESPN analyst named Clark Kellogg, famous for using new and unusual phrases. To quote: "In Kellogg's vernacular, a player doesn't make an assist, he "drops a dime." A really nifty assist is "dropping a shiny dime." Kellogg picked up some of the terms during his college (Ohio State) and NBA (Indiana Pacers) careers, but most of the catchy phrases come from shoot-arounds and summer pickup games."
