It's a no-brainer to be loaded to the gunwales with that at times like these: <You have no idea how happy I am with the bulk of my loot in Treasuries, gold, silver, Yen and the Swiss Fr. >

Hey, wait a minute. It was a no-brainer to be loaded to the gunwales with "eyeballs in cyberspace" and "clicks per capita". Then it was a no-brainer to own lots of houses, leveraged with Uncle Al KBE's ARMs because "Houses never go down in price". Now it's a no-brainer to own that stuff you mentioned and the mob is crowding into it.

I wonder if that's some sort of trend, or repeat of history in rhyme if not exactly. Have you seen those great new tulip varieties = gold coloured with streaks of silver, guaranteed with government regulations and escalating in price in yen, Swiss Fr, US$ and the Mighty $Kiwi?

Plus ca change,
