* No Elmat, to anticipate your question, I cannot just drop your future business plan off in his living room. His bodyguards will be puzzled why a Filipino houseboy-looking French Creole Trinidadian Chinese is trying to flog a geewhiz telecom plan:0) Message 16317539 He should have leashed the bodyguards and listened to us :-) Move over 3G: here comes 4G economist.com Let go watch Formula One at the pub while drinking a couple of glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon to celebrate my correct reading of the wall. Have some information to diggest. Cheers Elmat

I can't see any reason why anyone other than Osama would put his money in gold -- even sodam-insane had a billion in US cash. can I ask a dumb question -- I hope to find someone that can explain this to me sometime? Why would short and intermediate term bonds or bond funds go down if interest rates increased? Why wouldn't they just go up slower? -- It didn't decrease in value --it stayed the same. While I'm asking questions. Why would it be unsafe to buy muni's? Large cities do not go bankrupt, they raise taxes or get bailed out by the fed's. So there is lots of insurance against a loss. On the flip side, there are no taxes so any profits go a long way.
