I saw this line in the Barron's mailbag:

"Perhaps Robert Shiller wrote his book to make up for the money he lost being out of the market since 1996?"

This is indicative of the inflationary times we live in. A normal money market fund has returned over 20% since 1996, and that is considered "losing money". Given the rise in home and food prices in that time, perhaps it is.

Why does our friend ASA look so sick?

Any buy/writes you can recommend in the gold stock arena?

JOTT activity has subsided - we must be due for a rally, which is good as I would like to sell calls and buy puts at much better prices.

Thanks

Mike
