Hi ep,

I am well placed in the PM market and that will get very interesting this week.

My immediate concern is what might be the impact of an US election win by either side. IOW, might Nov 3 bring a large short term surprise surprise to the PM market. It would seem to me that the PM market is booming based on an assumption that ? will win.

Perhaps my concern is all for naught and the PM market is dislocated from elections and purely tied to US economic factors that transcend election outcome.

The same concerns apply to the $ CDN value.

Any thoughts from you or others? I don't want a shock on Nov 3.

Cheers
C

Why don't you mention East European stocks as a speculation?

"For long term holdings, as opposed to this years' favorite country, there are only a few possibilities -"

1. Switzerland-not a place I'd want to live, expensive, conservative and the language would be a problem.

2.Norway=No way. All of the above plus snowwwwww

3. Canada, maybe but I'd have to leave for somewhere warmer in the winter.

As far as investing in these places, maybe, but I find even in these days of the www I get uncomfortable when my money is far away from where I am. Maybe I am old fashioned.
But thanks for the comments.
