...we must be thankful for all the stupidity that passes for wisdom, else we would have to work for a living. Amen! I'm coming up on 6 years paycheck free from typing on my keyboard and trying to make little numbers into bigger numbers. Outlook for years 7-12 is still pretty good. Actually, the scary part is what will happen to the nonsense that passes for morality down in the excited states when the debt bomb goes off. In the Wiemar republic, hyperinflation is credited with being a major contributor to the growth of the sex trade. All those German girls with their hope chests filled with worthless Marks one day going "What the hell, let's go have some fun". How's the coconut? Going to add another fruit one day? CD

I remember in my bad ole days in Frankfurt noticing how many times the Bundesbank was buyer of various currencies at the bottom and seller at the top. The seemed VERY good. I noticed how they claimed to be going to sell gold and somehow never got around to it... jawboning we call it. Any idea what ever came of that and how the Euro changed the mix??? ie. Do the Germans, French, etc still hold gold and are they selling??? DAK
