We have nothing to fear but fear itself. [To coin a phrase - or, more correctly, to pixelate one, rather than use common metallic coinage] Only the cowardly will hold the ancient Aztec gold totem aloft against the mystical whirlwinds of financial misfortune and sociological mayhem. The brave will leap into the fray, armed only with a super-charged genki-dama cdma2000 phragmented photon sabre against the Taniwha bringing fear to We the Sheeple. hometown.aol.com Yes, gold will rise and fall, interest rates settle and surge, bonds splatter and soar and creak and groan. Equities will rattle, collapse, soar or die in fractalized crystallisation of the hopes, dreams and creativity which go to create the reality of the 21st century - many falling into the void of failed efforts, being the detritus and entropy of the biological imperative. Long, powerful arms of robust companies and countries and individuals will reach out into the 21st century reflecting the patterns of already-established successful ideas, efforts and investments. Individuals, companies and countries which have harmony - synchronicity and synergy - will be the builders and beneficiaries of the 21st century. Me, QUALCOMM, USA and China seem to be in harmony, singing the cdma2000 song. There are crowds seeking gold and crowds seeking cdma2000. One will sit as a dead weight on their neck or as an artifact in a hole in the ground. The other will illuminate lives - freeing them from their prosaic 3D bounds, delivering them to cyberspace, anywhere, anytime and quick about it. The real world! The world which humans love - knowledge and the abstract, the imaginative, the conceptual, communicative. With music, beauty, fun as bonuses. Mqurice
