Thanks Jay. I'm going to let the opportunity go by again. I'm inclined to agree that it's a great opportunity, but I'm comfortable enough as is and I remain cautious about the proposition. I see that the new Japanese finance guy is talking of taking over the banks. I see unemployment at record levels in Japan [only ~5% but a record]. Nikkei at 20 year lows. US$ vs Yen at a yen lowish level. I saw bankruptcies in Hong Kong are at record levels [or maybe it was just 3 x the rate of a year ago]. There is quite a lot going on! New Zealand is booming. It's crazy. Building everywhere I look. People spending flat out. Unemployment at 20 year lows. Tourists having a nice time and spending. We had a decade of crunching after the 1987 mayhem so missed the 1990s boom completely, at which time we had a high dollar vs US$, Yen, Pound etc. Meanwhile, your gold is shining... Mqurice
