A lot of stinkiness in farming.
Might I suggest farming Yaqona in Fiji? (That's Kava.) Excellent margins.

As military dictatorships (de facto) go, it's great. Great people, and excellent prices. (They have the distinction of being the only aboriginal people in the world to have maintained control of their realm in the face of the Europeans. Probably something to do with 15,000 years of endless war among the islands. )

Musing about this. The other side of the Y2K thing is that I don't think the commercial sector will be affected very much by it. So - if we go go bump on that pothole from government glitches, I would expect a firm recovery after it all washes out.

The other thing is that there is a good amount of cash in mutuals already. And they are still getting force fed tons of cash each month. So they gotta do something with it. I don't see a wholesale rush to cash out on all that retirement money. A few, but not all that many. We have a very different makeup of investment dollars and the control of them than we did 20 years ago or more.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't know many people who self direct their retirement dollars. Among my large circle of friends and office acquaintances, I am one of two who actively trades. Everyone else goes mutual fund even for their investment money outside of retirement. And that is upwards of 100 people. Hell, I do it more than our former CEO does.

So - that is my drift. But there's some serious blood in the streets right now. A little bit of mine even. But just a tad.
