Hi Maurice, <<I have been left with plenty of nausages to continue, although I have been financially mutilated>>
The former is far more important than the latter point. The ability to survive and fight another day allows for at least the potential to right previous wrongs. However, a bit of friendly advice that you did not ask for: when fighting again on that coming day, perhaps stay away from the past battlefields.
<<Dot.com mania and associated Telecosmic exuberance ... WTC-style floor-on-floor collapse … Asian Contagion … Russia … Mexico's mid 90s woes … Japan's banking debt … Yen … "In God We Trust" promissory note … gold coin dealer>>
From the periphery to the center, the ground floor to the penthouse, bit by awful bit, chunk by bloody chunk … do you not see a common thread, a pattern, a vague outline? Do you imagine history moves at the blink of an eye, the click of a mouse, and the flip of a TV channel.
Once again, give it time. The most outrageous is always saved for the last moment of the script.

<<I notice that your activity seemed to revolve around communications and cyberspace>>
Yes, this is correct.
<<You didn't spend the time listening to your gold coins jingling?>>
Yes, I do, spend time, not listening, but lift weights at desk using bundled up rolls of gold coins.
<<you see, CDMA is much, much more necessary than jingling Aztec relics>>
No, not true. GSM is used to earn jingling Aztec relics. I have no idea what CDMA does for me or anybody else. I do not want top watch movies or play interactive games on my cell phone.
<<lazy, rich people dozing in the sun don't need much CDMA; too disturbing of afternoon naps>>
I will comment on this when I feel rich.

<<real wealth is not gold, CDMA, land or buildings. Real wealth is the state of mind of the possessors of wealth>>
Ok, I will go along with this.
<<it is not incredible that the Japanese Yen is not softening, the Nikkei has zoomed up and the great financial calamity of 2001 has not befallen the Japanese creditors and banks or currency holders>>
You meant to say ‘has not yet befallen’, and you are thinking of shorting the life out of Yen when it hits 120.
<<A little boy and his Dad, with a few nausages and that natural wealth residing inside his head can escape a dirt floor chicken run, murderous ideologues, poverty and imprisonment to live on Money Rock, with reflexology, love, fun and happiness>>
A bit of gold would have helped immeasurably.
<<Japan was not a wealthy place after Hiroshima was destroyed and Japan occupied by NZ and other soldiers>>
You are contradicting yourself. Japan was an industrialized place before the bombing, and therefore wealthy.
<<it is not incredible that the Yen is okay and the Nikkei is up and Japan has not collapsed>>
The Yen is still OK because the USD is in trouble, and the USD is still OK because the Yen is in difficulty. The symbiotic embrace will ensure both will fall against ancient and true store of wealth, but you know that already, as you are not in Yen or USD. You have simply not taken the next logical step, especially given your conviction that <<mass mayhem in the Moslem world which bases their values on medieval superstition, alpha male testosterone-fueled chimpoid dominance hierarchies and violence>>.

<<In its first assessment of how the economy performed in the first quarter, the Commerce Department said gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the economy's health, rose at an annual rate of 5.8 percent, its sharpest increase since the fourth quarter of 1999.
The first-quarter economic growth, which exceeded most economists' expectations, provided further evidence that the country has emerged from what in many respects was one of the mildest recession in history...>>
Translation: GDP increased 5.8% due to inventory swing. Growth in personal consumption expenditures 3.5% ensuring J6P will have even less before going into harsher times. Spending on new plant and equipment fell at a 5.7% annual rate. Government increased spending at a 7.9% rate, mostly of the non-productive chimpoid type.
<<it's not all bad news out there!>>
You are right. The news out there is simply horrible should one simply anticipate a bit more and listen a tad less.
<<Big buying opportunity in the markets right now; [wow...CDMA for sale at $30! - gold at ten times the price]>>
What do you suggest I buy?
