<gold ramping down now is not good news, because qcom will follow, for the same reason> TJ, they are no more linked than humans and chimpanzees are linked. They are still associated, acting in similar form, for a while, but they are qualitatively different. One is the harbinger of the future, the other is a legacy from the past. You know which is which. But considering gold and qcom instead of humans and chimps, one will outlast the other, you know which is which. Although fizzling out long before the artifact, the harbinger of the future will return large pots of the equivalent of the other [aka cash] to the shareholders. A short life is not necessarily worse than a long one. It's what one does in one's life that matters. Gold can ramp down to $250 and Qcom doesn't need to follow, because gold earns no money, whereas Qcom does. 6 billion people will not buy gold to satisfy a Midas lust, but they all want CDMA [even if they don't know it]. When you, me, Qcom, CDMA, all the employees, customers and everyone else are dead and gone, gold will still be fondled, found, bought and sold, worn and admired and retain its value, chatting to each other over OFDM in a virtual 3D world. Before that, there's a lot of fun to be had and profits to be made. Digging gold is a waste of time by comparison. "Grandad, what did you do in your life?" "I got down and dirty in a gold mine and got that little stack of gold and silver out of the ground." "I invented and sold a mobile cyberspace enabler which everyone loved so much they gave me that dirty great pile of money which is just the leftovers after paying loads of taxes and buying a Lexus, Lear Jet, palace and funding a swarm of great little guys like you". G420 Q370 the gap is narrowing again and will soon close. Mqurice

TJ, when will those silly housing stock investors understand that they should be SELLING not buying at higher prices? Meanwhile, the shorts must be looking nervously at the sky, wondering when it's going to fall, as the share prices zoom upwards today. 8%! Ouch! moneycentral.msn.com The sky WILL fall. It's just a matter of when. Or, maybe the speed of dollars is approaching financial relativity theory limits and the "normal" mass of the dollar is increasing as Newtonian gold-backed Aztecs run for cover as the magical maestro KBE waves his wand making houses cheap, the world wealthy, and China pixelates another umpty $billion worth of kwai in preparation for a free exchange currency realm. With a dollar an inch long instead of a metre, but with mass, counterintuitively, of a kilogram instead of an ounce, due to the new-fangled financial relativity theory, where distance shrinks and mass increases, and with renminbi going into orbit, with 5 billion people waving credit cards in synchronisation, maybe housing shares are cheap? Somebody thinks they are a bargain. The sky is no longer the limit. The sky is not falling. Note that Globalstar [and therefore CDMA] is already higher than the sky, orbiting at 1414 km, suffusing Earth with those wonderfully anodyne phragmented photons, bringing peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love.
