I've been bearish medium-term on the US dollar. (Not to mention the hot-air economy.) Now that most of the 'easy money' in my kind of put options has been made, I gotta do something with the winnings. <g> And US Treasuries aint it for me. Rather than playing foreign currencies, I choose to speculate on the shiny yellow metal. (And I don't even like the look of the metal myself.) But it is an asset, which is much more than can be said about the colored, flat bits of dead trees that masquerade as 'money' these days.) S

You damn Californians steal our 'lectricity, then send your earthquakes up here? GFY. <g> Cripes, you've never seen such blowhards freaking out on TV/radio and repeating themselves. Turning a 10 minute story into hours of continuous coverage. Of course, the transplanted Californians kinda chuckle. (Just like the midwesterners do when a couple inches of snow paralyzes the entire city.) <vbg> S PS. Send us some high speed chase coverage. That at least is cool.
