Good one ;0)
Hosting Christmas party tomorrow. More accurately, my wife is hosting, and allowed me to invite some of my friends, about 10% of the adults. My wife says if my crowd of 5 people was going to talk gold, leave the function room of the club and go to the garden. A bargain. The 'gold crowd' are being treated like cigarette smokers for 50% of the attendees are kids.
Last night I attended dinner party hosted by my china-owned bank. The other 10 guests at my table were in various distribution businesses and deals with bank on commercial side. All businesses had something to do with china. Mining equipment imp/export, fruits n veggies, traditional medicine, etc. I only deal with bank as a retail customer and counter party for paper trades of platinum, gold, and silver. Iow, I make money from bank, and they use my capital for interest-free.
I asked folks how they felt about 2011 and china. All were bullish, and all felt (1) there is much to build in order to catch-up, and (2) the unavoidable speculations shall further spill into hong kong.
I talked gold, silver, and platinum. All listened intently. I did my duty, to try to save souls and gather merits. |
