I gather you stay in cash about 3/4 of every year then simply looking for the "bottom" of "something?" Once identified, you try to make a 25-50% move and go back to cash? If so, how do you come out with taxation and also what your batting averages are because if they are near 100%, you could make more money with a guru talk show or an enlightened, new age medium talk show -- think Cramer and the pet psychic? If not, can you tell me where you are invested by percentages right now? Thanks.

I remain,

ps I have a hard time totally disassociating commodities from China. Also, you can't run a world economy based on nothing but debt and paper currency forever, so when, do you believe, the world experiences an economic calamity because of this irresponsible behavior of those at the "top" of the money chain?

i was trying to point out that gold (not gold shares, for once and for all, NOT GOLD SHARES)...might be a different kettle of fish than the HUI index...

you can be long the US dollar all you want, that's terrific for you, i'd rather hold gold...not necessarily gold shares, but GOLD...

lets see how the US dollar fares compared to physical gold from here, shall we ?
