Hello Ramsey, <<this thread must have some contagious virus. I am ranting like Jay and Maurice>>
What is there to rant about?
(a) Hong Kong television is now airing advertisements paid for by the government, funded by taxpayers, to encourage Wang3Cups to consume (scenes of seafood dinners, theatre crowds, bars, and shops);
(b) My portfolio is not rising as fast as the USD is falling;
(c) Whatever wealth I do have are forced to wander around the dangerous financial-scape, from bond-space to currency-territory to equity destination and back to currency-territory, facing much danger with each move;
(d) Gold still has not pierced the USD 400 line;
(e) All the while I have to be alert to the dangers in real space, guard against bird flu, lookout for SARS fever, think about Mad Cows, contemplate Monkey Pox, and do something about Dengue Fever; and
(f) Listen to the spin about current disinflation, never-deflation, recovery around the 2nd half, road map to peace, preventative war, USD 43 trillion shortfall, and the absolute worst drivel, the one about productivity gains.
Chugs, Jay |
