MI said: <<the other funny thing is a few years ago, I told a friend of mine that I wish I would have just put all my money in the RWR REIT. at the time it was the biggest gainer in my diversified asset allocation. amazing how things change.>> --Right. Our friend Mr. Bug reminds me, in a way, of the people in the late 90s who had all their money in technology, internet stocks and telecom, and were so very sure that they were right, and everybody else was wrong. I'm not saying Skeeter is wrong. I'm just saying he reminds me of them, with his cock-sure attitude. Who's to say gold isn't in a bubble now? Who's to say rates won't stay flat or down for years, zapping his double-short long-bond play? The fact is,no one knows what is going to happen. The main thing, I think, is to stay diversified, and keep your risk level reasonably low.
