Jay, not everything! <The words spoken at the table are, "Sell Everything, Now, for USD".>
Reporting in on Aztecs versus Uncle Al KBE versus Mighty Q.
G394 vs Q684
Wow Jay, that's sure some gap that's opened up. I am VERY glad I didn't swap out of the future into the past, which is gone, no matter how hard people try to cling to it. Horseshoes have simply had their day. Even in the horsey clubs, the latest fashion is to realize that horses' hooves are not designed to wear Gucci or Manolo Blahnik. Their feet are going bare-back, so to speak.
As the old poem goes: It ain't the 'unting on the 'ills as wot 'urts a 'orse's 'ooves, it's the 'ammer, 'ammer, 'ammer on the 'ard, 'igh, road.
True, there's wisdom in some old sayings and proverbs. But not all that's old is good.
Stand by to pay higher US$ interest rates everyone and, if you are not paying interest rates, be caught up in the maw anyway as the impact will be like a bolide splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. The tsunami will reverberate around the world, destroying low-lying communities and therefore having a big impact on those well above sea-level, who will afterwards be able to buy, or simply take over, the vacant land nearer sea level.
Look at those Aztecs running for the hills. As your friend said, the US$ is where it's at. For now anyway, but even the mighty US$ will be shown to be nothing but hot air when the Q ascends the throne.
