As Teotwawki approaches, does it make sense to engage in a pleasant hobby such as numismatics or does it make more sense to metalize the exotic coins into more pedestrian but better value holding coins or bullion? You may or may not be aware of this, I suspect you are, but the Islamists have a movement to use an Islamist currency based on gold coins in order to end USD hegemony. A gold fatwah will no doubt be issued sooner or later. You will become immensely wealthy as oil goes through a metamorphosis from dollars to Saudi gold. islam-online.net lewrockwell.com

Trouble between Russia and its neighbors? "More trouble in the Caucasus Stans. Same for around Chechenia. Putin will crack them hard." Like I wrote: Putin cracks hard. Message 21814106 And we are only two days into 2006!

TJ, Perhaps we need to start a 'you know don't have enough gold when' top ten list? #10. You think you're covered by the Visa, Mastercard and American Express Gold Cards in your wallet. When friends ask you reply, "Yep I've got plastic gold". #9. At the liquor store you note the gold flakes at the bottom of some of the premium bottles and buy that, figuring it is a cheaper way to accumulate. #8. At friends houses you scrape some of the plated gold off their bathroom faucets and keep under your fingernails until you get home. Then you accumulate in a glass jar. You figure they won't notice. Anyone care to add? D

TJ, that's nice to see you start the year as usual: <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)> Non-innovative? Huh? Like QCOM? Super-duper innovative. That's what a patent is. Service that "may be needed"? Since when was communication and seeing optional? Humans without eyes, ears, speech and writing, can get by, in a very limited way, unless they are missing speech, eyes and ears, in which case they are doomed. QCOM enables seeing, hearing, talking and writing at further distances than a Tiger Woods drive. As measured in square metres, an unassisted communication leaves a person limited to several hectares, if they shout very loudly and write in large letters and squint into the distance. With QCOM's CDMA/OFDM mobile cyberspace, people can be anywhere and see, hear, speak and write to and from everywhere. That's a very good trick, though people don't yet realize just how important it is. The bloke who did the run to Marathon could have had a beer while lying in a hammock and got the message through in seconds. Messages from NZ back to Blighty in the 19th century took weeks. Now I can click on Skype, MSN, Gmail etc and be there immediately. Or, simultaneously, in Japan, Hong Kong and San Diego. Google is delivered everywhere. That's a brain on the go [the memory component of a brain if not the thinking department, yet]. Everyone needs QCOM. Even if they don't know it yet. I am about to buy two of these little beauts, the HTC Apache: telecom.co.nz I think you will be buying something along these lines in 2006, or you will look like the chimpoids in the beginning of 2001 A Space Odyssey.
