Oh Edwin, It is late in the afternoon and I am tired, so not 100% serious, but maybe 60%. The times have changed. I do not feel so stupid as much as greedy, and I reap the rewards of the greedy. Now I think most of us have a good idea of what the Asian financial storm was like - like them Nasdaq high flyers tanking, along with every other asset class, while one is loaded with debt. The dreams became extra vivid, in surround sound. I am afraid. I take the "boat" from the ocean and sail it up stream on a small river (but then maybe there is flood water coming my way?). Even though I am now loaded down with cash, I am buying absolutely nothing more. One doesn't actually buy gold and platinum, but one exchanges cash for them as they are "near-cash". Once again, I say gold and platinum (not diamond, for the market is ultimately artificial and GE can manufacture it), lots of it, in flight bags, stored in deep vaults, kept company by flight tickets to some islands with grass airstrips, inexpensive huts, good food and friendly people. Neither the US nor the Chinese governments are selling gold as everyonelse is selling down reserves builtup in generations. Some body is wrong on this one. Next time I may start talking about exciting short term Treasury strips. Chugs.
