<<Recommendation - ditch gold, buy genetic engineering technology>>

my idea exactly, but involving buygold, for it will guard against the one faulty human gene that is micro-code for lazy evil wastrelism, tries to print 'money' and stamp 'wealth'

4.2% return locked in for 60 months (3 years at 4.2, and upped 10% per annum for succeeding two years) will see some ways across what could be the dark interregnum, maybe, and so, perhaps not entirely bad, especially in view that it is taking a lot of spare cash to earn enough interest to buy ever more expensive hamburger constituted from beef, soy meal, veggies, wheat, and real estate

also, additional details: officialdom building out subway within 3 years, and lots of new projects announced for area, plus the acquisition cost is USD 171/sft, about the construction cost, for large foot print building only 22 floors high, thus no accounting for land value, etc etc on an island where other space sells for USD 650-1900/sft.

btw, good news, my copy of amazon.co.uk "A Very English Deceit: The Secret History of the South Sea Bubble and the First Great Financial Scandal" delivered, in time for the upcoming long weekend (starting Friday) and no week (we start holiday in Thailand April 7 - 14), so that I may enjoy the book, daily massage, lazy naps, robust swim sessions, lovely food, and teaching the coconut about manias and depressions, and buygold.

I wait for a follow-on book, perhaps to be titled "A Very American Fraud: The Open Secret of Helicopters and Money, and the Ultimate Wasting of a Good Start"
