Good morning. I did my usual calisthenics, less than usual 6 kilometers, always warm water shower, and now am at liquid-cooled PC battle station engaging the world while helping the usa trade balance with sips of starbucks frappucino. I am looking forward to mixed organic berries, muesli, and greek yogurt, and a productive day of this at home and that at venues around town. A casual scan of the vital signs of this world, summed up by new york closing price of gold and asia starting value of platinum, tells me instantly that all is right, well or not, and that gold hedged by platinum continues to deliver, in that what gold failed to make way to the upside (only up by measly single digit), platinum ameliorated gold’s failure (up its ordinary low double digits), or, in uncommon language, a win-win outcome. A passing thought: it would be a momentous day when gold touches usd (assuming usd is still in use that day) 2,000. On the other hand, when, rather than if, silver reaches usd 30 an oz, it would be a rather ordinary day and the event may not even be a subject of discussion on cnbc. On the third hand, should platinum reach usd 10k per oz, it may only be remarked on once it has fallen back to usd 5k per same oz. Another thought: measuring investment success may soon have to be denominated in gold oz, because just as there is no point quoting score by zimbabwe dollars, quoting same in usd is most assuredly becoming more pointless with each marking day. Further review of the happenings: General Motors - Henceforth Hummer owners of the empire must look to this hardly known outfit of the middle kingdom sctengzhong.com:8080/tengzhong/weben/gytz.jsp TengZhong for support and renewal. Once TengZhong demonstrates that it can manufacture Hummers at a fraction of the cost of the imperial army’s Humvee made by AM General, and TengZhong sets up a special expedited service desk for the imperial army’s purchasing department, with courteous call center handholding by Mumbai telephone handlers, perhaps the usa army will see fit to consolidate its orders with the requisition by the People’s Liberation Army and save itself some borrowing from the middle kingdom. A whole new level of meaning can now be nuanced by the words “what is good for general motors is good for (fill in blank with name of either usa or china). The absurdity is unforgiving, and irony magnetic.
