just out from out-tray

all the world's gold fit into two olympic size pools, we are told, and i do believe. if so, all the world's platinum fits into 1/30 of two olympic size pools en.wikipedia.org

prez elect obama is proposing to use japanese bridge to nowheres loan for filling the void that is pentagon-nasa, to revisit the moon bloomberg.com in competition against the china that is printing along to get along, and intending to visit the moon at 10 cents on the sorry dollar.

one cannot do space travel without platinum metalle.uni-bayreuth.de and so we must hoard our unfair share of platinum before national strategic metal hoard starts competing against soverign mineral pile on aggregating same.

unlike gold, it is tough to manipulate platinum pricing, and besides, solar energy works better in combination with fuel cells that require platinum.

better still, platinum does not stir up the same sort of emotions as does gold - there is no anti-platinum crowd around, as far as i know.

the eventual profit from platinum can be plowed back to gold.

"dada dada, what do you do for a living?"

"i turn advice into platinum and coal into gold, and then trade platinum against gold, both non-reactive noble metals, and generate breakfast cereal"

The problems we have now present opportunities, too. I feel I have an obligation to my family to make sure I take advantage of them in these difficult times for no one else, certainly not Uncle Sam nor the criminal class Madoff, Milken, Boesky, Enron, etc., represent, I think has my best interests in mind quite as intensely as I do.

I agree completely.
