Earlie,

I was watching some of the Sunday morning shows today and the media may help us out. The Sunday morning show on CBS has a few minutes on the greenspan put and the new administrations take on the economy, as well of some of the recent economic bad news. If I were J6P sitting listening to this I would not spend one red cent that I did not have to. The Washington Sunday shows were not exactly good for wall street either.

As far as owning puts, I have not felt comfortable without holding some puts for the past two years. <g>

Something I have noticed is folks think maybe oil may take the place of gold or other metal/diamond assets in the future. I don't think so. The average citizen can not buy the black stuff and store it. IMO, the asset of choice will be some hard asset (other than real-estate), something they can carry home and "hide". Note I do not include productive land in my definition of real-estate. Maybe I do not understand this generation since I am from a generation whose parents lived through the depression and used banks only for month to month currency transactions and had their wealth in hard assets.

Very interesting times ahead.

Joan
