Here is an early example of a 'secret weapon' component in Ben BurnAndKaput-speak of a 'strong currecy' in Snow-job utterance shanghaimuseum.net

Of the 1 ounce Pandas, I have mucho of the bullions and some number of the of the exotica:

-Panda Gold 1982 through 2005, plus
-Panda Gold 87 Sino-US Friendship
-Panda Gold 88 Basel Intl Coin Week Commemorative w/ Pt marking mistake
-Panda Platinum 87
-Panda Platinum 87 Sino-US friendship
-Panda Platinum 88
-Panda Platinum 89
-Panda Platinum 90, and

-Panda Palladium 89

I figure the worst I will not but can technically do is :

(a) package one complete set together some ancient Greek/Roman/world gold coins and loan to Shanghai museum shanghaimuseum.net for exhibit

(b) use a block of TV time to show documentary on money, coinage, history, gold, and the exhibit

(c) run on-line auction on left-hand / right-hand basis to establish baseline for such complete collections, using E-bay as support

(d) use another block of TV time to run home shopping exercise on same collections, as in ‘buy before midnight tonight, and you get this chisel them, rob them, all in one blender that also does laundry while giving you a massage or some ruder act’

(e) reclaim the set from the museum and inject same into a public company at then market value, and expand shares based on new valuation, gather cash, and start a coin/collectible insurance underwriting business through said public vehicle

(f) gather insurance premiums, watch share price go to 25 x earnings

(g) start subsidiary that deals in coins, particularly of the types insured

(h) start affiliate that invests in coins, especially of same types

(i) sell more shares

of course, the worst then would be pretty bad :0)

the tears start at the juncture when restatement of past earnings take place, i.e. do a Fannie Mae of General Electric or AIG or GM.

the possibilities are almost infinite, and all non-innovative, a lot like QCOM, providing a service that may be needed, and never pay out ;0)

Opening volley, 2006. Maurice, take it.
