two years ago son had no racing wins.. One buddy consistently beat him on course... not free skiing but in the races.,.

last year son was consistently #2 to team veteran ... with three podiums out of four races.. and buddy now trailing my son every race.. buddy (I know pretty well and the dad) says I want to catch Cam... I say why ? you both need to focus on #one... why aim to be #two ?

of course in this Chindia situation #one may self implode :o( yet to be determined.. :O)

tobago you and others have been talking about getting gold and more gold since 2001 when i started reading these boards. dont you think after 11 or 12 years we are getting close to getting out of gold? if you go to sharelynx and get the 650 year graph of gold, inflation adjusted, the highest its ever been is around 2400. whenever we think its different this time you know what happens. at what time will you decide to get out of the metal?
about platinum , according to what i have been reading, its got the most bullish balance between demand and supply , as the inventories are tight ,as in a few months supply, and every time the price declines mines become unprofitable and stop production. thereby its supply overhang is only a few months and then the price rebounds back.
i think that even if gold peaks , platinum may still be setting new highs, just based on supply and demand dynamics. is that your opinion also?

--“They have more discipline,” he said. “Here in our country, people don’t look for the long term. Instead, they look for short term, both the management and labor. We have to change our work culture.”--

about says it all.
cept, it's not the work culture. it's the management culture.
