Hello Don, welcome!
This BBR thread has folks from USA, Canada, Japan, Germany, New Zealand, ex-Australia/Israel, ex-Brazil/now Thailand, Malaysia, Britain, and Hong Kong/China.

We have got bears, bulls, pigs, chip munks, sheep, and a weird animal called Mq (a/k/a Maurice Winn):0)

We have got fascists, conservatives, liberals, libertarians, socialists, communists, and somebody called Raymond Duray:0)

The topics, when we are on topic, revolve around right, wrong, is, is not, gold, fiat, war, peace, natural gas, oil, emerging markets, other markets, valuations, currencies, relativism, Qualcomm, CDMA, beach, fish, and whether Chinese crawfish is garbage.

Pezz and I keep each other informed about what we are trading, denominated in tranches, dollops, wallops, slices, and slivers.

On this, Message 18562768 , there is no longer any urgency for financial reform, because we are all heading for the rocks of Depression, and none of any effort will make much difference. The volatility will be high, screaming loud, killing aplenty, and taking will be good.

Even if we are not headed for Depression (with inflation/deflation flavoring and stagnation spice), we would do well by assuming that we are, for the moment.

If we do not come out of this mess twice as rich as we are now, we are not paying attention to what the Force is telling us;0)

Chugs, Jay

Hello Don, Reading your referenced news analysis item Message 18642040 , as an international investor, I am worried.

At the natural rate of unimpeded progression of apparent trends, soon the US will only have democratic UK, isolated-for-whatever-reasons Israel, and a bunch of grubby tinpot dictators, and national-geographic styled banana republics for geopolitical and moral pals, that is until 80% of Britons boot out Tony Blair by electoral wish.

You being an admitted investor of currencies and such, I am wondering what you think that a USD is worth in such a world?

Well, I guess it is worth one USD, but is it worth more or less than 1/1000th of an ounce of gold.

I am guessing that it somewhat hinges on whether the war achieves its goal of bringing democracy and enlightenment to some parts of the world, along with prosperity and hope. I am concerned that the folks in charge do not know a plan if they saw one, much less making one, and are only able to talk about goals, and force short term outcomes, and then paper over the consequences with fiat paper and cover up with green ink.

Chugs, Jay
