I agree with everything you say here.

>>the way to solution to stemming a financial collapse invariably involve a higher gold price as a consequence<<

Yes, we have seen that recently, however, once the crisis is perceived to be over, investors look for roi and gold pays no dividends. It can also be manipulated, ala Hunt brothers circa 1980's

>>15% sounds right, with +/- 5% for trading fun<<

Agreed, prudent but exciting.

to reason that yen or chf will temporarily be preferred over usd is ok

Currently, yes, due to carry trade unwind and general global deleverage.

to believe that the state will be permanent, especially in the case of yen, would be fatal

Yes, true.

to think of yen as a strong currency is against natural law

Ok.

It's amazing we agree and you are up early-no?.
