As I was saying.......ART The art market boom continues regardless of the gloomy outlook in the broader economy. In a sensational auction of contemporary art held at Sotheby's on Wednesday evening, 54 works realized an aggregate £95 million, or $189.42 million, the highest total in the category ever achieved in Europe. ------- Look at this link and tell me, would you pay 40M dollars for that Bacon (imagine that on your wall everyday)! Tells us a lot of what is going on in this world and it stinks. iht.com They are taking that paper and buying up whatever they can before the global ponzi scheme implodes! West

It is not just Americans that cannot stay afloat.... The sluggish Thai economy and record gold prices have prompted many elderly Thais to cash in family heirlooms as they struggle to make ends meet. "This is family jewelry," said Pannee Sae Kaow, a 78-year-old Thai-Chinese woman standing outside a gold shop in Chinatown in Bangkok and clutching a tarnished gold necklace given to her years ago by her mother. "The economy has left me no choice but to sell it," Pannee said forlornly. "Everything is more expensive and it's tougher to live in a time like this. We're not rich people." iht.com ------ Corporate Elites and Bankers - you really think they give a CRAP! West
