Hello Maurice, <<gold ... Naked Aztecs dancing with glee ... day has come again>> ... The key word and concept in the paragraph is *again. You are correct, it happens the same way, each and every terrible time. <<Bring back the human sacrifice!!>>* ... I figure Maestro Greensputin and Helicopter BurnAndKaput will be sacrificed at some point in time. They represent the worst of the scoundrels pushing what in effect is a drug or what is know as easy credit. They did not create the mess. They just helped it along. I am concerned. Between the first serious mention of the “D” word here in current (“Financial Collapse of 2001”) context news flow chron.com and everything else that we figure are “knowable knowns” that will happen, such as housing will eventually stop going up, deficits will by and by drop, and many folks will at some point stop working and want to be taken care of, I am not optimistic regarding the nasty fork in the road straight ahead, stagflation or depression. I hope the electorates choose wisely. I think more liquid bubbly stuff will reward us before the party-goers get machine processed, because there is still much liquidity, and cheap liquidity, since China / India are undergoing once in several generation transformations, Japan wants to sell a few more SUVs, and all can afford to do this Message 21778571 for another few rounds. I hope I am correct on the assessment, for all of our sakes, especially since I am not exactly ready for the nasty fork in the road yet. I can easily be wrong on my figuring of the definitive Reckoning Day, but I keep reminding myself, we are not heading to a Reckoning Day, but are already in a Reckoning Process. Today I will travel to the area of TeoTwawKi rebellion that is Shanghai, and should report back in HK by the weekend. Chugs, J

<<Naked Aztecs dancing with glee around their bonfire, chanting ancient incantations>> ... yeeeessss :0) panic is rational, and fear is a survival trait, and best part is, should one be prone to panic, it is best top panic first :0) uk.reuters.com UPDATE 5-Platinum hits record high at $2,055 on panic buying By Atul Prakash LONDON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Platinum surged nearly 3 percent to hit an historic high for the successive 12th day on Friday, with acute power problems in top producer South Africa forcing investors and consumers to hastily snap up the metal. Spot metal <XPT=> hit a high of $2,055/2,065 an ounce at 1242 GMT, against $1,997/2,007 in New York late on Thursday. It has jumped 34 percent this year on the top of 37 percent gains recorded in 2007. "It's panic, panic, panic. If you are a platinum consumer, you are not going to sleep at night," said Robin Bhar, metals analyst at UBS Investment Bank. "The price move shows you the unprecedented nature of the market. People can see actual physical shortages somewhere down the road and prices moving away from them. It's not a case of just speculation. There is genuine demand coming through." South Africa, which accounts for 80 percent of global platinum supply, has been hard hit by power cuts since early January, forcing mines to shut for five days last month. South Africa's state power firm Eskom said on Thursday it would increase coal purchases and buy back electricity from those industrial users able to reduce consumption under a plan to address crippling shortages. [ID:nL14251539] Analysts say the platinum deficit could widen to 400,000 to 500,000 ounces by the end of 2008, compared with about 265,000 ounces in 2007. The market had a surplus of 65,000 ounces in 2006 following seven successive years of deficits. "Platinum supplies are heavily dependent on this market, and the delicate power supply situation as well as concerns about mine safety leave mine output extremely susceptible to potential disruptions," Barclays Capital said. "The market is set to retain its deficit, further eroding the low level of above ground inventories thus further buoying platinum prices," it said in a report. Impala Platinum (IMPJ.J: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's No. 2 producer, on Thursday forecast "very tight market conditions", while No. 1 producer Anglo Platinum (AMSJ.J: Quote, Profile, Research) said this week the power problem alone would cut output by 120,000 ounces in 2008. Angloplat said it had shut it Polokwane smelter for weeks of repairs. [ID:nL15536559]

hello maurice, regarding your 10/10/2005 post to which i am following up on, specifically this taunt <<Meanwhile, GOLD at all-time high [for those under age 20 anyway, more or less]. Naked Aztecs dancing with glee around their bonfire, chanting ancient incantations, waving their little family jewels in the air, thinking their day has come again. Bring back the human sacrifice!!>> when gold was at kitco.com a cheap usd 477/oz and qcom was at an expensive 42 finance.yahoo.com and now, here we are, gold at doubling then, still cheap, and qcom stuck in the quaqmire at sub 42 on the near shore of the dark interregnum, ever more expensive, are you sincerely sorry yet, just a bit hesitating, or still bullish on qcom and bearish, relatively mumbling, on gold? question: why did you not buy gold? it was and remains such a simple to explain and easy to understand, as well as a painless trade. ever so much cheers, tj recommendation: getgold, getmoregold, and then, for good measure, stillmoregold
