Is it me or are the people sitting behind the table look like someone just slapped them in the face and in order to keep selling that have to keep smiling?

The jitters were rising in the Fast Money commentators - the nervous body language was subtle but undeniable.

Hehe yeah these guys lightbulbs are just starting to glimmer. Was fun to watch their discomfort. Simmons was just waltzing through with a SLEDGEHAMMER the good old lead to gold, 20c a cup, giving it away in the 20th century, running out of resources by 2050 - 2070 and associated 9 billion people.

Beautiful to watch this runaway train. Like the Hindenberg exploding or the tail of the Titanic getting swallowed by the atlantic.

Your concept of beauty is twisted. (smirk)

An old saying goes - if a wise man warns the sovereign three times and goes unheeded then it is best to retire.

1) Limits of growith 1972

2) Carters "Crisis of Confidence" Speech" 1979

3) ???

Oh, they've been warned far more than three times. Admiral Rickover in the 1950s, Hubbert's work in the 1940s through the 1980s, plus many many more.

I loved watching their condescending smirks turn to deer-in-headlights frowns.

It's the little things that make me happy these days.
