I just printed off two pic's of some of the @$&! at work on plain printer paper and the image is really clear. I'd bet I could read the lot number on the happylord (geylord) tag if I printed on photo grade paper.[^]

Chicago - Did a state trooper try to shakedown a man in order to get his gun?
In a FOX News Investigation, Demetrius Harris says he made a deal with the the trooper after she caught him driving with a revoked license on the inbound Eisenhower this month.
Harris admits, he's got a troubled past with gangs. But he insists the trooper told him she wouldn't have his car towed, and wouldn't take him to jail, if he gave her his weapon.
Harris says he called his family from the back of a squard car, and they managed to find a gun on the west side.
Harris says his cousin, John Green, was instructed by the trooper over a cell phone to deliver the gun to the expressway, ordered to place in a garbage can, and then get lost.
But after delivering the gun, Green went across the street, to shoot cell phone video which he says shows the trooper fishing the gun out of the garbage can, which Harris still in the backseat of her squad car.
Then, Harris says, the trooper drove him back to his car.
"She promised me that she did this before," Harris said. "She did it plenty of times, and she's not gonna put the gun on me and I'm not gonna go to jail."
FOX Chicago News looked at the trooper's report that night, and according to the report, she did indeed turn in a gun that she found in a garbage can.
State Police tell us this is a legitimate practice aimed at getting guns off the street.
"We don't look at it as a deal," Captain Luis Gutierrez said. "We look at it as an opportunity to remove firearms from our roadway."
Gutierrez, who's the trooper's boss, tells us it was actually Harris who pleaded with the trooper, telling her he would tell her where to find a gun, if he would just let him go.
But, that raises the question of how Harris' cousin would just happen to be across the street, shooting the video.
University of Chicago Law Professor Craig Futterman, who's an expert on police procedure, calls it "extortion, plain and simple."
"Nothing wrong with the goal of getting a gun off the street," Futterman said. "But there is something wrong with using police power to extort someone."
"Our goal at the Illinois State Police is to protect the citizens of this state," Gutierrez responded. "Illegal trafficking of weapons is a cause of the majority of violent crimes in our community. And in this case, this individual had knowledge of one of those weapons."
Troopers tell Fox Chicago's Dane Placko they are under a lot of pressure to find guns and get them off the streets in a gun-turn-in incentive.
take a look and let me know what you think?
you sound like you have somewhat of a handle on investing, MaxOHMS. What is your theory as to why the markets are shooting up and down like they are?
Just a watcher lately.
Don't keep me from having a theory. [;)]
Always wonder just who is buying when I see a HUGE spike straight up like that.
I remember the TRILLIONS of we the people's money that came up "missing" a few years back and the huge "bailouts" that have put our children and grandchildren deep in debt before they even hardly know what money is.
What's your theory?

Hah! Not sure I have one. I kinda wonder if those missing trillions ended up in a slush fund or someones pocket to be used for purchasing stocks when the market needed a boost. I don't know if there's enough missing money to sustain it for much longer though. If/when it dries up we might see the decline that said money keeps staving off. Sounds kinda looney when I read it back to myself, but hey, I'm just a dumb ol' country boy that don't know nothin'.[:)]

Ummmmm....to what spike do you refer ???
Clicky linky above and search for "Who's Buying Spain".
There was a HUGE silver stock purchase (more than what is above the ground) in a matter of minutes a while back.
I would bet a little research into the past several months would net many more.
I don't know what you think you linked to, but my guess is you missed it.
All I see is a page of charts.
I guess the trees got in your way.
