As for those PM rockets...

...I wanted to post this excellent picture as my next gold/silver rocket pic, but it's way too big (size/byte-wise). Kinda like the silver and gold price tsunami. ;D

You can see it here ( Hmm...there's an idea - maybe if we post only links to rocket pics the price won't dump! ;)) From the wonderful Astronomy Picture of the Day archive:

That is one big rocket Ragnarok. I think we would have to see a 5-10 dollar spike in Ag to warrant that guy. :o

If that rocket ever got "launched" on GSUS, then that will call for a much bigger sub to "shoot" it down. ;D

Lets wait till the close on friday to see if it helped. Either way, I like it!

Definitely apropos. One of the biggest payloads just starting to lift off! :D

You can insert a large image and shrink it by using the following configuration:

The height and width is configurable. You can make it as large or small an image as you like by adding the height=XXX and width=XXX after the first img bracket.

Thanks, DMac and Libertarian Guard!
One engine each - for gold, silver and pgms!

Update:

There's a scheduled launch of the rocket type pictured in the above posts (a Delta IV Heavy) from the coastal Vandenburg base in California on or about Jan 17, 2010. It should be visible from quite a distance depending on the weather and where you live (Ca, Az, Nv). Go here for details and updated launch times:

and here for viewing information and lines of sight:

and here for details of the Delta:

Of course, I'll be watching the POS and POG that day (that is, the day when the launch actually happens) to see if there's any correlation. ;)

If that Baby is going up, you know gold & silver will launch along with it! How could it be otherwise?
