(k) People try to hedge their assets against inflation. If real estate is not there to hedge against inflation there are two alternatives only: 1) Govts have to index everything - a la Brazil 2) Go for gold, perhaps?

>>Perhaps the ones you buy, but not the ones I consume.<< No, I don't buy honey. I have my own beehives, and they make the honey I consume. Organically grown, no pesticides, no preservatives, no chemical additives. One hundred percent raw, natural honey. Tastes real good. They get a lot of their nectar from the trees on my property -- apple trees, holly trees, black locust, tupelo. >>China's crawfish is actually America's crawfish, because China didnot have such creatures farmed before the ex-Louisiana Govt and cronies introduced same.<< He's in prison, and Chinese crawfish still taste like garbage. No arguing about taste. Belle River crawfish taste sweet. Chinese crawfish - saying they taste like garbage is being polite. >>Chinese <<Reggiano>> is on way, just as Chinese Buick's are already in Manila<< You can't make Reggiano in a factory, just like you can't make crawfish in a factory. Oh, well, it took the Italians centuries to learn how to make Reggiano, and it took the Cajuns centuries to learn how to grow crawfish, so I'll simply smile at the hubris of the Chinese hustlers who think every problem can be solved easily, with hard work and low prices. Kinda like the guys who think a fake Rolex is as good as a real Rolex as long as they look alike. >>I remember it was I who told you first, repeatedly, with much difficulty, and I am sure I can prove it.<< Prove that you told me repeatedly, with great difficulty, that the US dollar would weaken? LOL. I don't think you'll be able to prove anything but that I said that it doesn't matter. Dollar up, dollar down, we do fine either way. Doesn't matter to us. >>Great, so let us welcome another depression without hesitation.<< I remember you when you thought you would get rich forever on Softbank. You haven't learned patience yet. A gentle reminder: quote.yahoo.co.jp I'll give you one more gentle hint. Nobody in America who knows what real Reggiano tastes like thinks that anybody in America can make real Reggiano. But hey, there are a lot of people in America who wouldn't know real Reggiano if it bit them on the rear end. People with no sense of taste whatsoever.
