Indecisive spring...

What a spring its been. All of the sudden summer seems to be here...there really was no spring, just blip-blam: Here is summer and some warm temps to make you happy for awhile.

I just got back from the Edson projects. I'm not going to post the video here but check out the YouTube channel homepage for a couple of cool clips of what it takes to move a drilling rig during the spring thaw...it was interesting times.

My job is complicated sometimes, I have two to an infinite number of bosses. Last week my "employer" called to offer another job in what could be called south-central Alberta. I don't know who the client is, but it sounded good. Any other time I would jump...this time I can't. The current client offers exclusivity and a large program that has kept me as busy as I want to be. It has been probably a year and a half in the same area with at least another year to go and who knows how much after that...for a guy that has been jumping all over the province since 2006 this deal in Edson is "almost" as good as it gets. But still I am glad to have Colin and his team behind me. I appreciate that a lot. One reason I say "almost" is the life I have to interrupt to go to work...I have a new reason I want to be in FSJ. Its good.

I know some friends might want to know what I think of the recent silver pullback seeing as how I am buying into that market...well here are my thoughts: NOTHING has changed except for my ability to buy more and more at a lower price. Anybody contemplating the market should have a strategy going in with clear direction. Mine is simple: I am not playing a paper game or trying to time the market, I am in it for the long haul (5-10 years). I am going to accumulate and keep stacking. The banks can play games and rig the commodities to suit their short term needs, but the fundamental fault of a fiat currency that is no more than an out of control printing press, backed by nothing but good wishes and flawed sentiment, will lead to fundamental change. I believe in that. The US dollar is sunk, there is no way to avoid that fact. Its only a matter of time before the life support system is removed and everyone is in for a world of hurt. I don't care how low it goes, just means I BUY more.
