It is possible to value technology and gold. A more balanced world economy is what is needed imo. I am hoping that we are entering a time when the world recognizes that while the US is the center of the economic world, that we need to cooperate and even out world consumption. This means the US dollar needs to be walked down and foreign currencies (including gold) need to raise in value to increase the buying power of other countries. Otherwise the US is going to be left holding a big bag of consumer debt. An increase in the value of gold and foreign currencies would be bullish for a long term recovery. In the short term it will reduce the value of some US stocks but others, especially in technology area will increase because exports should increase. I am long gold, some water services and water utilities, small cap natural gas exploration cos. and I am going to start picking up some IT services software stocks next week. M.

"... business development [into] information systems technology."Rarebird Since making money or pepper'ations for future events are not included in the beat of those drums that may or not exist, that i march to, then its no surprise that i just read today the Business & Money section of the Sunday Boston Globe of June 24 - Early Edition. Ya, got it on Saturday, one day early. article - What if 90s golden age was made of tin? "... was achieved by building things that no one needed." "... fiber-optic cables... routers, and switches." "... the past helps determine the future." [a.k.a. mistakes today can be an opportunity tomorrow] "... 1990s... building of a communications network[under used]" "... paralled the [building] of the railroad in the 19th century." "... [underused] railroad tracks... eventually[used for explosive growth]" Safe Harbour: For sure if one parsed past Rarebird posts that this possibility or probability has already been, and who knows, maybe the author of this article obtained this story line from an Rarebird GPM post :o)

I agree that the stock market will do quite well starting this fall into next year. But with the S&P 500 still nearly 20% overvalued by the Fed's conservative model and none other than Warren Buffett agreeing with this conclusion, I expect the market to drop sharply before we get a meaningful bottom.

We each have an opinion of the economy,one optimistic the other pessimistic.Tell me how is it that your opinion is visionary and my opinion mindless ,bitter and reactionary. By the way people who self proclaim their opinions as visionary and creative are pompous. It should be others who say,"boy that guy is creative or that guy is a true visionary.I dont see anybody saying that about you.Yourself excluded of course.
