<<How is it being perceived in your corner of the world?>>

I am feeling that the mood is one between resignation to the inevitable ascent of a cretin or a monster, and the feeling that all be irrelevant in any big picture.

The china leadership change and policy announcement is bit more riveting to folks in east n southeast asia.

hello c2, just finished lunch with a group of 10 bugs. only one being a long time acquaintance and the rest are his friends. amongst the ten there were three lawyers, two entrepreneurs, and rest financial types of one or another flavor.

all resides in hong kong except the guest of honor, a lawyer well-known in the sector and facilitates trades in american numismatic coins. learned much. there are hoards of such coins in europe left over from the gold-backed dollar dayz when usa gold coins were regularly shipped to europe as part of private party contracts, and supposedly such are still publicly quoted in luxembourg on daily basis.

some of the display coins were really nice looking, of high fondle value, and sealed in the cute stackable plastic cases. one particular coin was ostensibly worth 100k.

the force is gaining strength.

cheers, tj

One issue discussed at lunch was the likely year of the zero-state reset.

I proposed my 2018-2026 window for reset, that which is premised on the trajectory of china vs USA GDP, the crossing of two vectors, and the consequent end-game of usd recycling game

But one fellow tee-ed up this demographic-based and unintended-n-undelayble erisa-selldown premise silvermonthly.com of relentless sell down, quarter after quarter and year after year.

because I am unfamiliar w/ the law, I cannot comment much, but as I know a bit about china, I reckon that the coincidence of the prospective Erisa sell down and the china GDP over taking USA GDP would only reinforce each other to do what y2k was supposed to but did not do, and bring on a zero-state reset that would be made worse by the federal debt and deficit and amplified by the Fed's qe8 program today and going forward.
