Hello Pezz, Today’s Report I will be going to the land of wine and cheese in a few hours, and I understand that a river boat cruise is quite safe from asymmetric warfare that is enveloping the Middle East. It is a strange feeling, to know that I will be without a PC and less a few clues over the next umpteen days, at such an event-filled juncture. I hope I can relax, knowing that I have gold, in pure physical form, by paper representation, and have claim via a few shares in entities that mine the stuff. I would say the shares are not doing well, but no particular harm noticeable as of now. A pal pointed out that this current battle in the Middle East may stealthily engulf the region, given that there are not a whole lot of folks able and/or willing to broker a peace. Stratfor seems to think Syria and perhaps even Iran can get dragged into the conflict, and if so, … well, let us not go there and think such thoughts. Who knows, perhaps it will soon be a time to pause, or, letting the imagination run wild, to retreat in the war against inflation. I exchange paper money for a bunch of small denomination gold coins, to use as emergency money or just token rewards for the boat crew, especially the chef. The real trade was I unloaded a few more shares of Modern Beauty finance.yahoo.com, at 1.40, since I had wagered on the beauty at an average price of 1.07 only so many days ago, to claim my 30% gain. I have allocated a portion of the share holding as "sell on double". For my journey, I am taking with me three Nero Wolfe mystery novels, and one book by John Kenneth Galbraith, titled “The Great Crash – 1929”. I figured a refresher course of reading and follow-on reflection may steady my nerves, pep me up even, so that my paper gold can live to see USD 1,000 / oz, when oil is at USD 100/barrel. Chugs, J

Hello Pezz, Today's Report: Got the boat owner's Orange GSM all-one-can-user Internet card and accessed gold hoard via GSM network (not that QCOM vaporware) and sold 5/6 of paper gold at HKD 6015/tael, capturing a good profit. Chugs, J

Hello Pezz, Today's Report: checked out Nemours, and onward to Montargis, soaked in tub of cool water while air temp has been 36 C, played with Coconut, looked out for swans, and drank wine. Thought about how much gold should tank by, so that I can buy my hoard back. I figure, perhaps USD 615, given that I sold at USD 646. I need to load up on gold before it rises to above 730 :0) Chugs, J

Hello Pezz, Today’s Report: I sold the last 1/6 of the latest round of paper gold accumulation, at HKD 5,685 / tael (HKD 7.78 = USD 1.00, 1.2 troy oz = 1 tael). The sequence was so … Message 22415700 sold HKD 6,318 per tael Message 22545112 buy HKD 5,312 per tael Message 22548045 buy HKD 5,387 per tael Message 22548339 buy HKD 5,399 per tael Message 22563352 buy HKD 5,432 per tael Message 22594039 buy HKD 5,732 per tael Message 22615171 buy HKD 5,810 per tael Message 22622330 ruminated Message 22632681 5/6 sold at 6,015 (Note to Maurice: another example where I must thank goodness for globe-spanning GSM network enabled Internet access) Now I am ready for another round, again hoping that gold crashes to USD 492, but fast, say within 3 weeks, preferably ;0) Chugs, J
