bought at bottom of prices in 1981
prices were moribund thru the late 1970's
the price rise coincided with computer revolution in Mass
Digital
Prime
Apollo
Lotus
Wang
like a rising phoenix, those stars all faded

that 20 year period saw big rises in stocks, bonds, property
this decade will see big rises in all thing commodities
gonna be easier actually to make money in this envmt
the difference between most hard asset companies is less
sure, 2-3 gold firms stand out
sure, some oil/gas firms sit on best properties

but differentiation is less than among Intellectual Property owners in technology with a varied competing set of products, with expiring patents, with captured customer bases, with emerging standards, with raging killer apps, with discontinuous tech developmts

I cannot get out of my head that most commodities (incl gold, silver) are priced lower now in real dollars than at the time of the Great Depression
