hello pezz, today's report:

(i) how many times have we discussed buy low sell high? you are going in the wrong direction;

(ii) i am not playing with this bear market bounce at all - it feels wrong - a quarter century experiment in bubble-making of the magnitude that just passed cannot be closed out without unimaginably enormous pain, volumes of education, eons of soul searching, lots of people going to jail - we have not even gotten to the part about confiscation, redistribution, and dissipation phases yet, and so never mind revolution and all the wet stuff

(iii) you should consider relocating to friendly thailand where the food is spicy, fruits delicious, people wonderful, cost can be reasonable (but only if you convert us$ to thai baht fast), government ineffectual, borders secure, hospitals world-class (meaning better than in your parts), and weather fine, and oh, yes, taxes on foreigners with income from off shore is precisely zero - i believe permanent residence can be secured by buying an abode for at least usd 75k (you will need a place to live in any case) or buying the local shares of any of the fine companies that is paying great and appreciating curency dividends

(iv) what is holding you back? years ago we discussed gold and platinum, but also island living. have you changed your mind about any of the discussion points?

(v) here on koh samui today is just like yesterday, and will be likely the same tomorrow
