Mr. Gogo: I distrust your comment that "precious metals will be the only safe place for some time." In the 2008-2009 collapse I got killed on precious metals and especially the miners. Why do you think the next collapse will be any different? Thanks, Joel

i dont know anything about crox. occasionally the market panics and everything gets sold but that is maybe a once a decade or less event. right now i think the compelling stat is that 18 per thousand chinese own a car. how much higher do you think that number will grow in the next two decades? what about india? if you dont need your china money for 5 years how can most car needs not go up in value? The worry for me is that the US will stop printing dollars and/or that eh eu austerity measures will likely produce violent riots, topple governments and ultimately destroy the euro framework. of course that will be good for gold and silver , horrible for world stock markets. my guess is the latter much more likely than the former.

if you have the patience and knowing you are canadian i strongly suggest you buy warrants in cmp-un.to and then exercise them for $12 on 1/25/11. unfortunately i cant do it because i am not canadian and they wont let me exercise the ones i have. you will get units for your total of about $14 at a 30% discount, a 1/2 warrant to buy units at $15 expiring i think in two more years, and then a $1 special distribution. You can buy me dinner later out of the winnings. I own a few thousand warrants which i will have to sell because the company will not permit me to exercise the warrants as i guess its restricted to canadians unless you are an acredited investor and bought them at the ipo.
