recommendation: hold platinum Waiting (hoping) for the Empire to Strike Back... before I buy back in... certainly Platinum has it's uses and with GWB (and very likely any of the candidates who follow his term in office..) the run on the dollar (albeit a rather slow run..) will not stop. Oil and base metals have had an even greater run in the past 6 years, we are in a once in a generation bull market for commodities combined with a fade of the west. I am trying to determine which asset class will rise the most in the next 5 years.

With the HKD tied to USD, is this a clearing issue OR and expectation of de-linking of HKD / USD ? >>>"shenhua coal export starting now is denominated in euro, yen and hkd no more acceptance of usd because (i) it is usd, and (ii) its clearing happens within the empire"<<< What if the clearing is a 'red herring' to hide the expectation of a delinking or upward valuaation of HKD in the near future ? Can you see the HKD being moved up 4% to "cool off the overheated real estate market " ?
