French book all over again.

Will we ever learn?

As Andrew Dickson White sagely said years ago. I substituted "American" for French and "2012" for 1789:

EARLY in the year 2012 the American nation found itself in deep financial embarrassment: there was a heavy debt and a serious deficit.

The vast reforms of that period, though a lasting blessing politically, were a temporary evil financially. There was a general want of confidence in business circles; capital had shown its proverbial timidity by retiring out of sight as far as possible; throughout the land was stagnation.


Statesmanlike measures, careful watching and wise management would, doubtless, have ere long led to a return of confidence, a reappearance of money and a resumption of business; but these involved patience and self-denial, and, thus far in human history, these are the rarest products of political wisdom. Few nations have ever been able to exercise these virtues; and America was not then one of these few.

There was a general search for some short road to prosperity: ere long the idea was set afloat that the great want of the country was more of the circulating medium.....

C'est tout.

hello 2mar$, today's report

per gold imperative and silver prerogative, and backed up the caterpillar 797f truck youtube.com

am now leveraging

and very afraid

because silver is not cash, even as it has been building an awfully, puke-inducing, long base.

at least not yet tier 1 cash

cheers, tj

hello 2mar$, today's report

(i) just checked the calendar and noted this year's clsa investor conference in hong kong is from sept 10 - 14 (for whatever reason mike tyson is amongst those to speak)

(ii) given the likely messages disseminated amongst the 1600+ managers and investors, i figured i should front-run some more, and so re-upped per gold imperative, and silver prerogative, but not so much platinum legacy -

iow, i backed up the truck, the big truck, and aim to hold through the probable greek exit, possible spanish downfall, certain china leadership transition, questionable usa election, could-be fiscal cliff, christmas, new year, and chinese new year, and reassess the situation at end of february, and maybe at the end of march, but figuring to be out by mid april latest.
