yes, the end of the world, a unique and once in 800-years opportunity, is best engaged with from a view point, as markets open up and closing down, down a lot more in gold measure, around the world, terrible days after horrid nights, rushing towards teotwawki dawn that must at some sharp point be

the particular view point was exchanged for with idotcome / eslashnet softbank bubble gains at 53% discount to last equivalent transaction in the neighborhood, during the mid-way point of the asian financial crisis (we are now effectively at 4.1x asian financial crises low :0)

the softbank starting stake capital, from genuine savings, pre 12x gain, was less than a top of the line bmw ;0)

to go from bubble to bubble to bubble, as in, "dada, what do you do?" and responding, "i seek bubbles, and navigate to, through, and on top of them"

at juncture of pulling trigger, i though to myself, "if the world is going to collapse, i want every day after the collapse to be a beach holiday, and, besides, teotwawki dawn ablution is best done to a view"

even if the view should be so ... foggy



because, i would know the truth that be so

just pondering the meaning of paper money

(i) buy view at asian financial crisis low on borrowed hk paper money, 1998 december (closing february 1999) when the japanese pulled their yen money out of the only liquid market in asia and hk suffered minus 70% tora tora tora, and i liberated previous view owner and now panicked speculator of her goods

(ii) investing own surplus savings in a fluff known as softbank in january 1999, the equivalent of current united states fiat money 'value' of two of the french gold roller ball pens



(iii) selling out of softbank mostly in november 1999 through march 2000, pay off mortgage and plow surplus into newmont mining, impala platinum, zimbabwe platinum, pandas, eagles, nuggests, koalas, and maples, etc etc various other gold wagers and canadian energy bets, and kept on plowing, year after year, but making sure to exit canadian energy and mining gambles for the most part in november 2007 even as the physicals were kept and added to

(iv) piling deserving rewards on top of just gifts

(v) then started with unwanted industrial real estate of old hk, 3 years ago, and very specifically focusing on the wang chuk hang area google.com , that which is now subject of common conversation, top of mind, front of lobe

when reflecting on the past, i scare myself ;0)

when pondering on the future, i wet myself :0)

tout ou rien

p.s. compounding bubbles is wonderful, mathematically speaking, not over-staying when pop is important, 0/1 bolean logically meaningful;

lesson note to self: turning fluff into gold and bubbles into real estate are good ideas, i.e. mineralize and mortarize, or m&m, mnnn mnnnn good :0)
