as of today i am down 4.6% net net f*^$^%$@ net over all, from up of 7+% as of end of june, say, plus/minus, and that is without marking to mark certain long term assets constituted of cement and steel sitting mostly in HK

i, thankfully, do not have any leverage, god be merciful and kind, and i am thankful that i am too lazy to fill out loan forms

i am ok with this state so far but am deeply concerned, because
if i had simply been in cash at start of year, but equally distributed across USD, Euro, CAD, and AUD, I would be down 11% in any case as of today, meaning this game is too f&*^$^&%# random

i was figuring on the incredible flying machine manipulated by captain america breaking, smoking, gear teeth knashing, nuts hopping, rivets popping, belts ripping, cam shafts bending, etc, and central banks making repairs on the fly, in mid air and while at hurdling speed of mach 2 trillion

instead, the machine is simply and just melting down, with no apparent fix remotely possible, as if the General Electric Turbo jets are made of plastic, in Shenzhen, and glued on to the wings, in Detroit

the mother of all bounces better happen, fast, like next week, else the real world gets the big f&^%#$63 flush

oh, but wait, had i been 100% in gold at start of year, i would be ... up by 6% if going by paper trade and up 19% by physical trade, and without so much as a month's excitement.

for 7 years in a roll i have asked self, why am i not 100% in gold?!

how many bodies do i need to see laid out on the cold concrete floor before i get tuned to the message that is tied to their no longer animate toes?
