Duke > when the Central Banks of the world and the gold hedging programs can no longer control the price of gold, it has most always indicated runaway inflation is already underway No question that inflation is bad in most places, although I wouldn't say runaway. I believe that the revaluation of most currencies v the USD has had a dampening effect on world-wide inflation. For example, CRB in USD looks like it could get a lot higher.... stockcharts.com[w,a]dallynay[dm][pd200,2] ... but in Euros looks likes it's going sideways stockcharts.com[w,a]dallynay[dm][pd200,2] > I consider a REIT just a new name for the "Real Estate Limited Partnership" of 15-20 yrs ago. I have no experience of the US market of 20 years ago so I can't even hesitate an opinion. My interest in the REIT index is purely technical but I have been watching it for some years and I see that it has been going up steadily for quite some time. As an investor, I believe there's a lot to be said for "going with the flow" or "let the trend be your friend" but, if one wants to play this game, one has to watch for the turn which is not always easy to see. Nevertheless, the REIT is still one of the better performing US indices and in a market which is becoming harder and harder to play.

Dear Sir, Re: I remember being in Denver at the time and seeing hundreds of office buildings completely unoccupied(just in the few miles near Littleton along I-25). This is not a concern of the Dutch Central Bank. Nor is the expansion of see-through buildings in Bangkok in 1997 which were bought up by the Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group and other vulture capitalists in 1999 at ten cents on the dollar. Please, don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain. democracynow.org
