<<I'm sure you'll let us all know if she ever duz anything bad ...8^) >>

:0) sure.

a few items:

(a) with folks who hug her too tightly or too often, as in not welcomed, coconut would deliberately grab hold of the person's hair with both hands, and crash her own forehead on to the hugger's forehead or worse, bridge of nose. shock and awe. no idea where she learned that from; and

(b) she grabs gobi (cocker spaniel golden retriever mutt)'s tail against my wish, but so far no complaint, just evasion, by the dog.

Hello Pezz, Impelled by beliefs such as worldmarket.blogspot.com , I report on actions and developments from Last Night and this Morning:

I bought:

(a) Paper GLD finance.yahoo.com on your side at USD 55.73

(b) Paper Gold Tael on my side at HKD 5,174/tael (about 1.2 oz = 1 tael)

(c) Energy Spyder XLE finance.yahoo.com at USD 53.85

(d) Oil Services Holders OIH finance.yahoo.com at USD 142.58, and

(e) Kinross Gold finance.yahoo.com at USD 10.14

... and it looks like I sold ...

(f) ... a no-contingent deal on an over-valued piece of real estate in your domicle, more or less, at 4.odd percent below my initial ask, close enough for EXODUS with satisfaction, and it ought to, barring accidents, close within 15 working days.

I will leave the buyer with a 2.5% yielding asset that is bloated with downside danger, financed at 6.5+% interest, and threatened by eventual but certain repeal of Prop 13. May the Force be with him.

Chugs, J

Helo Pezz, Today's Report:

I established the necessary facility to trade and hold silver-backed certificate at a Bank of China subsidiary retail bank here in Hong Kong.

To start, I purchased a wallop of the stuff, at least in equivalent physical terms. Transaction price was 11.06/oz.

I was also introduced to their option-linked gold certificate of deposit, that would yield north of 10% per annum in one event or result in a load of paper gold certificate in another outcome. Neat stuff.

It got me thinking, as I can generate quite a bit of extra income should I agree to turn my physical gold in.

Then I remembered, by way of dusty history books in musty archives, what had happened to silver and gold certificates throughout China's 4703 years of calendared history.

Besides, I can generate that sort of return on own and more if doing own options.

So, the gold-linked deposit is off-limits, and the silver certificates are meant to be an intermediate term hold, not the same as my private central bank physical reserve.

Another interesting point ... the bank metal dealer was enthusiastic for 15/oz silver. I see that number within imagination.

I think, at a defining moment, Mr. Ben BurnAndKaput will find out in a hurry about where surplus savings and excess surplus can go.

Chugs, J
