you are not familiar with the wizard's great kingdom of roads paved with bricks of gold? -g-

He said he really likes bonds in countries whose currencies are unlikely to become a lot less valuable and mentioned canada, australia, and new zealand. maria whimpered, "bbbbut what about US bonds?" to which he answered that he already bought treasury strips at 20 cents on the dollar and all he had to do was wait for maturity to make 400%.

When asked about owning stocks he said that anything held long ought to be paired with short positions and people should look for stocks to short that are overly inflated, which they won't because nobody listens to old people, what's he know about the new Jigabyte Word Processors anyway? -g-

He started meandering a little then and talked about how people need to worry more about their spiritual wealth and that's what he's focusing on rather than picking stocks. i think he realizes that spiritual wealth is all that will be left for many soon. He looked pretty sharp otherwise though, and there seemed to be some poorly concealed satisfaction as he told how he already flipped the airlines, shorted the techs for $95 million profit last year, and is gonna clean up on bonds, then just stared at maria daring her to complain about his un-american actions, she had the good sense to keep quiet. He definitely has that my trade will crush you demeanor, still a master of the universe LOL
