Then, real-estate market bubble bursts <=== Banks increase Reserves for Loan Losses: as they become reluctant to lend, kapital market liquidity dries up. American workers become defensive; U.S. retail sector chills as a result of their lower consumption. Ironically, they increase their own un-employment by their reluctance to consume from one another - vicious cycle. Gonzo, this is all out of the heady economies of Japan 1989 the America 1929 and this is exactly what is going to happen now, IT IS SO IN YOUR FACE HOW CAN ALL THESE "SMART" PEOPLE IGNORE OR REFUTE IT? Answer: mass psychology, and the crowd sentiment to hang and hope to the liven end. The deflation of 1998 is a pussycat compared to the deflation of 2000. bb

Wow !! Sounds like you kinda feel like Sarah Connors in Terminator II .. nobody will listen. No I wasn't thinking about the MM in '97 .. I was considering your view on the destruction of kapitol and "no exit." If we really are to take that kind of hit, then the best place to be would be puts .. which brought to my mind the question "If we really do take that hard of a hit, will the brokerages be able to pay off on the puts?" It would be nasty to pump every penny into puts have them go to 20x value and then not be able to cash them in. If that's the way that projections run then perhaps a bag or two of silver dollars might be the way to go .. and a couple of them colts while they are still makin' them. In the AM I figure that it'll be to late to pick up on INTC puts .. My target will be net puts ..
