A massive holding of breath, waiting for what happens next ... actually broad markets haven't tanked much on recent bad news, sort of shrugged it off, the Madoff thing is huge but news of it was out friday and Ms Market carried on regardless ... one sign of a top is stocks no longer reacting well to good news, can the reverse be true, hmm ... Nikkei strong again tonight, up near five per cent Fighting snow here all day, urgent traffic in and out of the place right on the day we get 40cm, after the weather people said 'up to 10cm locally', aargh ... i saw your post earlier in between rounds with the snow, and it put me in mind of another december day, landed in Auckland on the fourth of the month and next morning the sweetest and very tall young lady took me to Parnell rose garden, there was english june in full glory, japanese couples getting married in acres of roses ... vivid contrast, coming from several frozen weeks near the BC/Alta border, and before that in the tropics during intense muggy heat, Parnell was just right You don't think it might be time for a bit of PMs, eh? ... one of these days they'll be edging up notably, and keeping their gains, there being no other game in town really ... you might be more interested in silver if you checked it out, many industrial uses and no major stocks above ground, world has recently used up hundreds of millions of old US bullion and been bridging the supply-demand gap that way ... investment off-take on a roll now, physical trading for considerably more than the Comex-dictated 'spot' price, been that way for months and the spread seems to be widening still ... fwiw i'd be quite open to buying qcom if i was convinced it had chances of rising, no point in standing on principle in this business Interesting youtube of 24-hr world air traffic here, this is the best LatAm blog going imho [youtube was posted friday night, may be in archives now] - incakolanews.blogspot.com
