Hello c2, just landed in hk from beijing, after 2 nights of discussion to charge against the windmill. These episodes go better for folks with copious depth of sense of humor. I figure I am one. I am looking forward to "art jamming" tomorrow (sarurday) night - painting on canvass with a bunch of unmarried women sauced of champagne n wine. My wife groped me in, and she can only stay for 1 out of 4 hours. I intend to challenge a big piece of canvass. On paper gold, I am not biased against it, at least not yet, not now, not until the end-game starts. I have always traded paper gold, given its liquidity and my greed for gaming, to lower the cost basis of my physical. We must be near a point where we all would be tempted to trade, even if just a little. Trouble w/ paper gold is that it is too easy to buy n sell, first a little then a lot, after that, a worrying allocation of our nav. I am worried, a little, and at 1.2K, a lot, then 1.25K, frightened, n 1.3K, petrified. We simply do not deserve 1.2k yet, imo. When gold was at 700, I figured we would see 1k before we see 500. Now, with gold at 1.05K, I fear we could see 500 before we see 2K, even though, as far as I am hopeful, 5k is for sure w/i 14 years, more likely 10, or even 7. I have no plans to ever sell my physical metals. That zero-state reset option is best left for the next generation. Of my metals, I am now about 25% physical pt, 25% physical au, 50% paper au. On top of that construction, I have addiitional 33% in gdx and paas. |
