Hello Maurice, I am alarmed by your apparent change of heart on either or both the timing and the investment case for the telecosmic revolution. I am alarmed because (a) I was hoping that you could have acted as a flag for when the ‘bottom’ is in, and (b) while you have dropped the Q flag, but only half-heartedly, still clutching on to QCOM standard, you have not picked up the Aztec totem. You are a lot less Q-ed, or simply more Q-less, but are standing almost naked on the field of battle, exposed, without the protective power of the platinum shield, minus the magical curative influence of Aztec totem. <<Did you notice the little item about buying shares as a financial management tool?>> Yes I did, and when/if he does so and so much, the market will finally awake to the fact that it is false, and enter the final cleansing phase without predictable elapsed time. <<That seems to be very close to Uncle Al thinking of backing the US$ with shares. A dabble here, a billion there and pretty soon they'll have some serious stockmarket assets to back their currency>> Yup, if so, and when I think about it, even without so, a GE share will buy a cup of Starbucks coffee, and a million Starbucks shares will buy a GE refrigerator; at that time, the platinum shielded time piece will exchange for 400 Lexus. <<When Alan Green$pan says "Alas, technology has not allowed us to see into the future any more clearly than we could previously", that's not true in the broadest sense and certainly not inconsistent with his previous comment.>> I knew you could come up with a good spin:0) <<He meant the future retains plenty of mystery despite the mass of information available>> Actually, he meant that he was wrong. <<Conventional wisdom now is that the cyberspace revolution was a fizzer>> I do not think this. I just think it is not a good investment anymore. <<Those quotes should not be converted to slogans. Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you>> You mean like ‘Q’ “0) <<Of course Uncle Al can be wrong. But he is a lot less wrong than nearly everyone else as far as I can see>> Nearly for this round will not be good enough for millions of investors, home owners, job holders, and Jay. Most importantly, the ‘market’, in the aggregate, is not treating him as being able to be wrong, because he is, at the end of the day, not a central banker, but an astute politician. <<Smart folks do like to experiment and they understand that life is a real-time, 3D, non-stop unavoidable experiment, which is never repeated other than superficially.>> Enron and Argentina qualifies, and I believe Nasdaq/Dow/USD complex will win the big booby prize – a baby elephant and one year’s worth of feed behind door #3. <<Unsmart folks and animals prefer to avoid risky circumstances which require brain horsepower>> I am hoping to be a contrarian, act unsmart and end up wiser for it. <<Animals do little experimentation>> and there are lots of dead smarties to prove it. <<Insects just run their hardwired DNA programmes>> and die of natural causes mostly, as a result. <<Uncle Al is experimenting too>> Very worrying. <<He has no choice but to experiment>> Once he started, then left without choice. Door #3 beckons. <<If he doesn't act, that's the same as being dead, which will collapse the US$ because dead doesn't give a lot of confidence. [Of course I don't advocate acting simply for the sake of giving the appearance of being alive].>> On this we are in 100% agreement. <<Haven't bought the Lexus yet... >> Don’t. Attached please find a present:0) and, welcome to the dark side. Come further into the den, and pick up the shield and totem next to the umbrella stand.
