yes, sometimes I fail to see the bigger picture. I would add that once someone got a hold of my name at 3-4 of the commodity houses -- these people have been calling me desperate to get clients -- I mean desperate (not just that they are calling me -- but the whole tone of the conversation -- some 2nd or 3rd people in these positions have called me after mentioning that -- oh -- yeah, so-n-so quit and went back to doing X). Barely in the first inning. I still think of that poor Indian woman telling me how much she liked suga ...h -- of course, had a bought calls when she was insisting on it, I'd be doing ok -- but these people sound desperate to get new clients -- why else would they keep calling me back.

Glad to hear your view on commodities. Except for being a permabear on the general markets (I guess ten years on the sell side makes me have to call myself that), anything else I hold is almost 100% tied to commodities. Well, with exception of some antidollar positions. I still have a tape of the financial chanel all day during the 1987 crash. I still wonder how I knew to start the VCR on a super slow speed that day. Anyway, about 65% of the ads, I think, were for precious metals!
