That is a very good bet: <I am guessing a lot of folks around the world have wasting dollars> Big Ben is cutting interest rates to UnHappy Meal levels, to force people to spend their money on something, anything, just to get it out of their hands like a hot potato into somebody else's, thereby boosting the economy and avoiding a deep, hard and long recession. Measured in GSAT value, my US$ have soared. Measured against your sacred and ancient valuation system, my US$ have risen. Measured against QCOM my US$ have fallen. [This period is from 2 months ago when fear was ascendant]. Measured against NZ$, they have bounced a bit and are now gaining ground and soon to accelerate to ascendancy as the Kiwis with their $100bn borrow and hope funding from Mrs Watanabe falls due and they suddenly find their cafe lifestyle and general swankiness were based on borrowings rather than savings. As their house prices tumble, they will experience [and are now experiencing] the same process as per California and other housing boom on borrowed money places. As hordes of people have found over centuries, one can party happily on borrowed money and be apparently very wealthy and happy. But as hordes of people have learned over centuries, great parties are followed by enormous hangovers, and yet again the verities of Virtuous Values are relearned amidst pain and suffering. With Financial Relativity Theory as the operating system for financial systems instead of Newtonian Financial Theory, people have been able to create very weird quantum tunneling financial instruments as seen in the vast array of hieroglyphic laden derivatives. Financial event horizons can loom out of the gloom and spell doom with little warning and not enough to escape since the first perception is as one accelerates past the event horizon and into the maelstrom in preparation for Big Bang financial reset for the survivors who avoided being sucked in. Recommendation = avoid the second shoulder in gold aka abandon ship + short NZ$ vs US$/yen. Mqurice

A good trick. <more coal can be converted to mineralized savings that is gold > I'm working on converting lead, mercury and maybe iron to gold and platinum. Normally coal is converted to diamonds. You converting coal to gold is a very good idea. 3 x iron = 1 x platinum = a very good process. My shed has had a couple of fires as it seems to involve quite a bit of energy. But I'm working on it.

Ohh, lookee here: <Huawei Technologies says that it has been awarded a CDMA network expansion contract by Philippines based BayanTel for an advanced ALL IP CDMA2000 end-to-end solution, including intelligent network, transmission, and microwave products. > Message 24546813 I take it you saw the TD-SCDMA company in China going broke and shutting the doors unless they can be financially rescued by some foolish suckers with money. Perhaps the people running the country will toss them some to save face over the debacle that is "CDMA with Chinese Characteristics" - snigger, giggle.... It's funny that China fulminates against Japan, but copied Japan's dopey strategy of inventing "TDMA with Japanese characteristics" [reversed send/receive frequencies .... snigger, giggle...] and D'oh!CoMo's "W-CDMA with Japanese characteristics" .... snigger, giggle. Au, aka KDDI, with CDMA2000 pure and true from Mq's factories in San Diego has eaten their lunch. Huawei is more sensible than the government and is going Gung Ho on CDMA2000 as above, with Qualcomm characteristics. Huawei is eating lunches all over the world. If the people running China were to ditch TD-SCDMA and allocate 450MHz/800MHz to CDMA/OFDM by Huawei and anyone else, then China would rule the world. But of course, they are are chromo-latticed into failure so will not take that option. They will have to continue to have economic boom by working for low pay for foreigners while copying [as they do] Japan's failed cellphone technological strategies . On the other hand ... I know of an enlightened worldly bloke in Hong Kong who could help put them on the one true path of enlightenment to peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love. But he's too busy pulling wings off Zim the Amazing and hassling CB over semantics to do something really estimable. Mqurice

This thread was created in 2001, named "The coming Collapse of 2001". At that time the US was going down the drain in Tsunami of wayo from companies. It was not created to serve as the lolos refuge. It was created by a guy who saw it coming: "Many American companies have reported lower profits, sending jitters through the stock market. Unfortunately, they may yet be lower still THE announcements come as small explosions. Fear that Xerox’s profits would be low cut the troubled copier company’s valuation in half. Confirmation that they were indeed reduced cut it in half again. Technology companies such as Dell, Intel, Apple, IBM, banks such as Chase Manhattan and a host of other companies collectively had hundreds of billions of dollars wiped off their market capitalisation when they announced their results. Seemingly decent profits have been no defence. Citigroup and Merrill Lynch produced record profits. The market’s verdict: sell. " Message 14650669 Message 14642149 Message 14642346 Then two things happened that staved off the collapse predicted by tradermike. The attention was diverted by 911 and subsequently by the Iraq war. The collapse was mainly delayed by 9 years or so. Now change the name of the companies for the names of banks and you know it is still the same situation as 2001. Only that now, the body won’t respond to anything. No treatment no stimulus nothing! In the interim, printing money and doling out BLS statistics propped the market.

Korea charging into the Japan cyberphone market leveraging their home-town advantage: Message 24553905 China wallows in their own muck with TD-SCDMA going nowhere fast, even in China and certainly nowhere else on the planet, and a TD-SCDMA handset maker is in financial dire straits. China's Albania/North Korea approach to innovation is proving bankrupt. Gee, imagine if China was to go with CDMA/OFDM in 450MHz to 800MHz instead [with Wi-Fi as a multimode option] and leverage that into the rest of the world. But that would take innovative thinking and global co-operation. Mqurice
