RE: Comments - Week of August 22 - dangerous choreography
we are engaged in a most dangerous dance.
(i) we must think, even as we are so busy marking to market our false gains by way of gold, silver, and other such same that go up in price as we are being printed to death.
(ii) we tend to forget that at some juncture we must leverage in order to keep up with and 'beat' zimbabwe inflation.
and after leverage, just as we are having much fun, like now, marking to market wonderful days after beautiful night
(iv) we must suddenly switch steps and get in tune with argentine deflation music
to dramatically and with alacrity, shrink our books, rid of debt, and get in tune with price reset across the planet.
when we are supposed to be full of cash and empty of stuff
and,
(v) horrible nights after terrible days, buy at the bottom all that we need pending recovery
questions:
(i) is monetary gold what we are supposed to carry along during the above dance, that which is the best cash?
(ii) will monetary silver do the trick?
(iii) platinum? who has platinum and is it even money?
(iv) when do we in effect spend our gold for stuff that we really need, like income generating assets and such?
worried.
i always worry when having too good a time, like during those wonder days of softbank ramping up fantastic days after fabulous nights, around the planet, 24/6.
i got out before and in good time, due to accidental and chance read of a book telling of english railroad tales.
after the panic, softbank traded stop-limit down for 28 straight sessions. so many good warriors fell during the carnage - it was biblical.
question: what is gold good for? i mean, really, who cannot live without gold?
note to self: remember to sell at the top.
question: how high is high?
in the mean time, the coming week should be good, for wonder after fantastic, like a good party

SNIP:
Retailers are raising prices on merchandise an average of 10 percent across-the-board this fall in an effort to offset their rising costs for materials and labor. But merchants are worried that cash-strapped customers who are weighed down by economic woes will balk at price hikes. So, retailers are trying to raise prices without tipping off unsuspecting customers.
Some merchants are making inexpensive tweaks ---- additional stitching, fake button holes, fancy tags ---- to justify price increases. Those embellishments can add pennies to $1 to the cost of a garment, but retailers can charge $10 more for them, said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group.
"Let the consumer trickery begin," said Brian Sozzi, Wall Street Strategies retail analyst
