Hello CB, Regarding your May 20th, 2001 post Message 15826282 <<Which is why I refuse to buy it. I don't care if I could become a squillionaire (that's a trillionaire squared -g-) - I say it's tulips, and I say the hell with it.-ng-
Too damn rational for my own good, maybe, but that's the way it is.>>, and following up to my response at the time . . .

... some physical gold starts to make more sense, as a super duper triple redundancy double secret backup system drive of a design originating from a technology not yet understood by earthlings, gifted to us by the action of stars gone brilliant long time ago.
... I have always liked platinum, my interest in gold is relative new (2001).
... Tulips? Yes, I say it as well, but physically more enduring, and psychologically more permanent, hard-wired on the motherboard, and doubly backed in the BIOS chip, not to mention prominently displayed in the users manual. The users manual pages have been lost for a few years, but will be rediscovered by the time the "Where to Put Your Money" issues of the popular magazines appear on the newsstands in 2001.
... At some time, I think gold will become quite rational for the crowds, just as tulips were for however a short period of time, and I will be a net seller of gold assets, moving the profit to stocks, bonds, cash, and whatever else that may be irrational at the time.>>
I remind you that it is not too late to start learning and accumulating gold, and should one be daunted by the price in exchange for excess savings and surplus capital, one can focus on silver, details here Message 22447961
