■ We cannot make sense of this Dow Newswires bit from Thursday: "Supporters of a higher minimum wage can argue the move is proof employers can afford wage increases, while opponents can say it is an example of effective free-market forces." What? Folks are actually paid to write this unintelligible dribble. (If Grandpa Hugh were still running the show today, the "pink slips" would be flying)...
■ We honestly had a good grin over this one: "Cannabis Stocks Nosedive as Rally Driven by Hopes for U.S. Legal Reforms Comes to a Screeching Halt", the time-honoured '60s phrase coming to mind that "Only dopes smoke dope" -- or put into current context -- "buy into earningless stock manias"...
So don't be a dope: yes, perhaps a 1600s brush with which to cope, but keep Gold focused in your scope!

Cheers!
