Jay - ...BTW, as Chinese Lunar New presents to folks that mattered or matters to our efforts in the past or future, respective, I am gifting ¼ to 1 Oz .9999 gold Panda coins. These bullion coins, while minted by China, are not available in China (neither retail nor wholesale). They are devastatingly effective as gifts, lighting up the sparkle in the receivers' eyes and bring smiles to their faces. They in turn will hand the precious gift to their wife, mistress or girlfriends, or just lock it away. Yes, the force is powerful and the magic is strong. Ancient memories are DNA coded, waiting for the unlocking sequence initiated by the freed China gold exchange operation (36 months for retail, I weeks or months for institution/wholesale).... How about mint and transport shrinkage? Or the black market, or whatever color it is in China? Regards, Don

<"Enron, without a considerable amount of physical assets, created a very large market value on its reputation and its conceptual skills," he said. "Reputation is something which, unlike a petrochemical feedstock plant, [can] disappear overnight . . . We are increasingly getting firms which are conceptual, and Enron being a classic case whose value depends on reputation and trust. And if you breach that, that value goes away very rapidly."> Good quote from Uncle Al Jay. As you say, substitute another asset class with similar characteristics, such as the US$ and it is obvious that the foundations are vital. Breach trust in the US$ and poof. The Q currency however, represents the productive capacity, energy and intellect and the desire of humans for a comfortable material world and a host of goods and services. Which do you trust most: In God We Trust In Uncle Al We Trust In the Good Faith and Credit of a bunch of USA Senators In the Good Faith and Credit of a bunch of USA Congressmen In the Good Faith and Credit of a Clinton or Bush In the Aztec medieval world In the life and times, creativity, energy, needs and desires of 6 billion people.
