did an important trade Message 25114218 then got caught up on the news flow ice coffee and adrenalin, sense time to rise to the opportunity, by and by while very excited, but went through portfolio to mark to market on real estate, just for the heck of it, to see what would happen should i really wish to unload today on everything as many in hk must soon enough do or die my result is theoretically tolerable that cash mountain sure is nice and that cash mountain includes gold but if one actually must live through 8 years of the dark interregnum, and especially if accompanied by japan-style zirp policy, the living would be uncomfortable, as monetary inflation dilutes cash, tepid stock and real estate markets provide no protection against dilution, and one has to spend down nominal cash conclusion, babyboomers without savings (as opposed to tanking investments) competing against new job mkt entrants, and rewarded by ever longer hours of toil, and imploded 401k, and at negative cash flow on 'investment properties' and leveraged, are victims #1 through millions prc banks are fine. hkg banks may not be so fine. all govts will guarantee all deposits when push comes to shove, but will pilfer from same accounts even as they 'guarantee' them i am staring at my gold ledger, and note that against everything else except for the dollar, they did absolutely fine, and between the dollar and gold, before, now, and going forward, i take gold, by and by my thoughts on yen, its rise will be short lived the issue to me is not how to scale into yen, but how best to ease over to still more gold also born before 2008 :0)

must note, there sure isn't much of a bounce anywhere on anything just sell, relentless sell, merciless sell, mindless sell, terrified sell, vomiting sell, forsaken and dial 1.800.get.me.out sell, but sell, and the only stuff truly liquid are the mega caps, such as they were, and are a lot less mega, like 50+% less, and the currencies, and ... of course gold, and of the lot, gold is very liquid, as it was ordained to be a guess, the sellers are already financially dead, or will soon be, for they are rushing towards false salvation, thinking cash is a null position so, yes, i am excited, very excited, more excited than i have ever been, but also terrified, and more terrified than i remember for as long as i can remember people are dropping financially dead, figuratively speaking, all, as in reality, here yesterday and all of a sudden, revealed today to be dead man walking compared to what is happening, the murdering and maiming red guards of cultural revolution mao who cemented professors in corner of bathrooms were pussy cats in comparison
