A very slow year indeed. Lots of zigs and zags.

Hi, Jay.

Thanks for reminding me of all the terrific exchanges I had with marcos, a terrific fellow and very smart, though he needs to come out of the tunnels and mines more often.

Hard to believe that I went from a gold doubter to now holding as few shares of the gold ultralong ETN.

I am hunkering down for a siege.

The fundamentals are terrible yet the dollar rallies.

MZM still going crazy, no signs of slowing down:

research.stlouisfed.org

So I go my lonely way, Swissie, gold and oil in hand, getting clobbered in the last few days, but keeping my eye on the fundamentals for they don't lie and they will eventually assert themselves.

Do you think the credit fiasco is over? Not me.

Bank of America is digesting that horrible dog's breakfast called Countrywide while Citi's SIVs are a circa $80 billion fiasco in the making. Lehmann is skidding, etc. etc.

And there is a war, recession, deficits, the Weimarization of the dollar........the way I see it, it is nuts not to own gold and the Swissie for the hob-nailed boot can drop at any time.

Funny, but I am now up 4% when I was down 4.8% at the end of March :)

TJ, you do know the proverbs, "You can't fight City Hall" and "Don't fight the Fed". < "yes, but i wish bernanke would just surrender and kneel" > Big Ben is unlikely to kneel. They have got large weaponry at hand and caution is wise. Direct confrontation is dangerous. Recommendation: run and hide, clutch talisman and chant incantations to your deities to protect you. Wait for The Rapture.

PS: Of course I am not so scared and plan a full frontal assault on Big Ben, The Fed and City Hall, albeit armed with Genki Dama in quantity. en.wikipedia.org It's only we the brave who dare confront directly; to challenge the rule of the leaders of the most powerful tribes.

<Through constant training, Goku has achieved many abilities; aside from his great strength, he also possesses super speed (first seen in his youth),[16] reflexes, and the power to fly using chi, a fictional energy force in the series. Goku's signature technique is a chi energy blast called the Kamehameha, which he learned from Muten Roshi.[17] Another signature technique of his is an attack that multiplies the user's chi for an instant, called the Kaiô-ken, taught to him by North Kaio.[18] Goku's most powerful attack is the Genki Dama (renamed the Spirit Bomb in most English adaptations), a sphere created by gathering chi energy, which he also learned from North Kaio.[19] Goku also learns a teleportation skill called Shunkan Idô, which he learned from the inhabitants of a fictional planet called Yardrat.[20] >

Hmm, interesting. I didn't know previously that Goku uses chi. I'm not in the slightest knowledgeable about either Japanese or Chinese, but have picked up a few trinkets of knowledge. I suppose there's a cosmic logic to my plan, so it's in harmony with manifestations of the same ideas in other realms.
