Hello Pezz, Report from the Front: I viewed apartments yesterday, and decided to buy one from an airline pilot and his very artistic wife. The unit is on the high floor in the third building from the left images.google.com , fully renovated, tastefully furnished (bought all appliance, fixtures, and furniture – just drop luggage and hook up computer), and the view is absolutely geewhizbangohwhoaweegollygeeyikes. For holidays I like islands, and for real estate, I like shore lines. The place looks out beyond a small bay, surrounded by a gentrifying fishing village en.wikipedia.org with many antique buildings and structures expensively relocated at tax payer cost from central business district to the living room and study view, face-on, unobstructed, 24/7. Along the street are a bunch of funky eateries (Italian, German, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Continental, Indian, fusion, Spanish and a bar specializing in oysters from all over the world) and a few pubs. Around the corner is a supermarket, a McDonald’s, and Starbucks and Pacific Coffee. Three monastery / temple are featured within an easy 3 minute walk, one at a particularly secluded view point at end of a tropical path. The capitalization rate (rent/purchase cost) is 5.45%, a gift. The acquisition is meant as a LTBH, until such time when somebody offers a ridiculous price that I cannot refuse. Chugs, TJ

Hello Pezz, Today's Report: Besides doing mopping up operation for purchase of earlier mentioned geewhizbangogwhoaweeyikes apartment, I sinned, for I unloaded half (20% of total physical and paper gold) of my paper gold position at HKD 7,000 / tael (1.2 oz to the tael, HKD 7.80 = USD 1:00) and converted to Yen 116. I do not have any feel other than events has been going too gudd-la, and so perhaps they will now go badly, but with a twist, like yudd-la (yen up dollar down), meaning everything else down as well. I am a big believer in buy on the dip for gold, but, alas, it is difficult to buy on the dip when one forgets at times to sell on surge. Courage is a limited quantity item, and best to be conserved, nursed, taken cared of, before they are needed. Chugs, TJ

Hello Pezz, Today's Report: Very busy, will get to the rest of thread posters when not so. In the mean time, emergency - I figured I should make some fast get-away moves before it dawns on your shore that perhaps margin notifications should be sent to clients deserving and undeserving alike, and so, in following up to earlier Message 23977341 50% paper gold sales and conversion to Yen, I just sold the other 50% of paper gold at HKD 6,988 per tael and so completed by 40% retreat from gold positions, now holding only physical bullion and a small grab bag of gold shares. I did not convert the proceeds to Yen, or at least not yet, because the moolah liberated will recapture the paper gold positions as soon as gold drops say 10% from current levels. Now let us hope for a round of YUGDDD (Yen Up, gold down, dollar down). Chugs, TJ
