"steep" price rises..although already mentioned that health care costs have bottomed, that emphasizes that health care costs will start rising again.. re: gold rallying bigtime soon or later... It sounds as if Japan is the key now or am I wrong again... If Japan starts getting out of its recession, its sounds as if a global crisis would be prevented and gold might start rising, but it wouldn't be a rally bigtime...paladium and platinum would start doing much better..oil and copper might start firming... also sounds like Japan is serious about getting out of its recession.. we will know what it plans in another two weeks..if they do put funds in infrastructure etc that means further rise in commodities.. that also means that there will be no global meltdown since Japan can become another engine for driving global economy..also with less restraints on US commerce, that should help out some US corps.. it has bothered me that commodities like copper and lumber haven't done better if, from what I hear, there is a great deal of building in the US as the result of low interest rates.. also re year2000 problem..heard a slightly new spin..which is bullish for hardware also..there are suggestions to install some new systems to prevent the glitches and that it might be too questionable to just resort to software fixes..heard that in reference to air control systems..wonder if air travel will drop off in first part of 2000 just to make certain there are no little accidents.. As I have said before, a close personal friend, said she thinks in many applications there are going to be huge glitches..regardless of remediation efforts of catching all the two number glitches. re Clinton: news keeps on coming out that strongly suggest it "ain't over"..people are driven by self interest..if money starts flowing east ie to Japan and foreign money starts living the "safe haven".. the dollar will start falling,exporting of inflation will stop and importing of inflation will begin,interest rates might start rising as money leaves although government is saying that with balanced budget won't have to issue as many,(especially if the commodity index starts rising)will start creeping up..people might start looking at the leader in a different way..(even if he were pure as the falling snow) re: attack against Iraq..seems like with all of Madeline's efforts, the majority of countries aren't going along..it would seem that as long as S.H. isn't threatened by a loss of power, he just likes the bully position and wouldn't do anything to loose that status.. interesting that this time is different...as repeated, Israel will no longer give assurance that if attacked, it will no longer agree to nonaction..
