Ask the Reaper where he thinks the long bond is headed. You are 100% correct but I think EARLY. I have been pondering what you suggest for some time now. Look at japan. How low, ho long did interest rates stay down? Wish I had an answer but what you suggest is 100% what SHOULD happen. But "should" unfortunately is the operative word. Would be interested in opinions on this from Heinz if he is around. M

I think silver is worth looking at. Going for about what it cost to get it out of the ground and it does have many uses that are important. Silver has bacteriacidal properties and is being substituted for chemicals that are added to paints etc. Also with so many germs floating around such as SARS it is possible that silver may find more use in the future to combat germs. Silver is also the best electrical conductor in the world and in an energy crisis you would think it would be valuable. I am long HL and PAAS which seem to be gaining some strength here, bwk. M.
