Any thoughts on possible implications fo the eventual long awaited bottom in Japanese equities? investorshub.com I know you have mentioned a possible event such as some North Korean craziness causing a sharp but perhaps brief and buyable bottom. I wonder if the bottom could come from some financial craziness. Believing in cycles, Yin and Yang, and so forth, I have to believe that someday Japan will come back. I mean after all they still can make cars. In fact even the USA will rise again as it always has in the past. JMHO

Jay, Did you ogle golden globes of gold or cerf cyberspace more yesterday? Which was greater value? Which makes you happier? Which would you rather be without if you time travel - your money or your mind? Gold is a stable, dead, introspective, fearful bunch of lowest energy state nothingness. It just sits there, with nowhere left to go and nothing left to do. Which holds a morbid fascination for humans, poor mortals, fearful at every turn, dog tucker in an instant, passion's plaything, full of sorrow and laughter. Gold is the antithesis of life. Cyberspace is life. Every day, you, me and millions cerf into the ethereal state. A modern kind of REM dream state. Ethereal, ephemeral but amazingly valuable to us all. Omniscient, ubiquitous it's so much that gold is not. It's freedom from the prosaic, bland, banal and trite world of messy wet chemistry. Gold is a cannibalistic greater fool theory in its speculative state. A zero sum game of MADness - as in Mutual Assured Destruction, the winner being the guy sitting between the bid and ask. The storer, insurer, recorder, transferor - they all take a bite. I was passing by to get a drink of water. This double REM state is MADness too. I'd better flip the lid shut and head back to my natural, lowest energy, golden state of sleep. It's 3.43am. Good grief. This is nuts. I wonder if it'll make sense in the morning ... Mqurice Edit... as I logged onto the SI quotes I store, which are 15 minutes delayed, the markets started humming. A moment later, the quotes came flooding in, though the market state already showed a small increase. 7.24 cyberspace is humming - perpetual insomnia. A global microwave oven of pixelated photons, surging into every nook and cranny. Maybe gold has got something going for it compared with that turmoil. Quiescence. Stasis. Peace. Of mind? As I go zizzo, 10 x QCOM = $368 and so does Gold. Parity. That seems peaceful. Happy Harmony. [No, no! I don't mean Harmony Gold, the mining maniacs ...]
