Surfer, I have little original work, mostly digest others
the key to getting it straight is following the best of best
in summer 2001, I spent several weeks to compile a list of the best of the best
for financial market seers and economists
I already had a head-start with the pathetic economist profession
but I have little original except some style on observing, a sassy demeanor when responding to clear stupidity, incompetence, and transparent whorishness

since 1999 thru 2001 was probably the most difficult period in US Financial History to navigate, I decided that if a guy got it nearly right for those three years, then he (or she) is my man (woman)
so far the best of best have been Puplava on the markets, Roach on the economy, and Mauldin on the weekly observations
but a few others make up a strong supporting cast
I want to watch what these 3 superstars have to say now and for the next several months
I dont feel I have the audacity to stand and firmly loudly confidently disagree with any of these 3 guys
the only disagreements I have had are with Mauldin, regarding the pace of the USdollar decline and its sudden low pressure zones that resulted
I thougth it would be sudden, and it was, but perhaps mainly because of Hooverlike Bush trade barrier impositions which surprised even me in their aggravating masochism
now I question his Muddle Through Economy position, especially if the US$ resumes its decline
I guess I adopt a Wait & See attitude on my oppositional stands

I would love to have a paid subscription clan
but I make my share of mistakes on calling sectors and their nearterm changes in the wind
having a website sounds like self-indulgement
having an SI thread where I can contribute heavily is the next best thing, and is fine
what company in its right mind would advertise with my offish and oafish confrontational and vulgar diatribes?

so many newsletter editors out there are complete fools
that is to be sure
I have a personal tendency to gravitate toward extreme views
this makes me a leading contender nowadays for spotting real trends, since we live in extreme times since 1997
that is year#1 in my book, with the Asian Meltdown
that horrific event caught my attention and won my soul as a sympathetic watchman

the Asian Meltdown in August-October 1997 marked in my book the first BIRTH PANG of a distorted monster in the world economy, a baby that had only a hollowed out frame
a year later Russia defaulted and delivered NYCity a crippling kick to the nuts
two years later we could not avert disaster following Y2K

I am saddened personally by the Post-Y2K, both for myself and 100's of others
it hit me hard since I expected some pain in the spring/summer of 2000
I expected some INDIGESTION, from overconsumption and drought of demand

but in a sense I was a neophyte
I was not well-studied in Kondratieff's LongWave Cycle
in no way did I anticipate the first rumblings of a Modern-Day Depression
we are now at risk of a depression

the more we treat the illness caused by excess credit using unbacked currency... with more credit tied to printed fiat currency... the more likely we run the risk like UNTEACHABLE SLAUGHTERHOUSE BARONS to walk blindly down a path of destruction... since we know nothing else

I dont know what lies ahead in my future
I do know I hate my current work with a passion
but the degree of opportunity is as great as the degree of danger now
just like the Chinese symbol suggests
I will keep on keeping on with SI
without it, I would feel like a bobbing buoy drifting at sea

thanks for the compliment
I did save that BLOGGER.COM website for the future
if I cannot get my own investing house in order, then I have no right with my own website
so I will forge onward as a critical parasite with a keen eye
so far so good with my gold positions
but in July, my gains went from outsized to damned nice
let's see if I can capture that next outsized upleg
it is coming like a golden rainfall

now... dont you be shining my ass!
later gator, Jim
