currently using the browser Opera so having a bit of "culture shock" I know Larry makes my exposure to European culture thimble size at best..I have had a few close European friends and I cannot believe they will stand for a melting post..so,although I plead ignorance.. my intuition says that gold will really take off after the fiasco of trying to bring together the countries under one roof.. ie..I can't see Italians(tend to think of them as wonderful anarchists..love their culture!) for instance dictated to by the Germans or the French taking orders from anyone but the French etc.. so I think a lot of wealthy Europeans might just put their assets out of reach ..why not gold? Really glad you yawned also..did you see how the reporter covered herself..mentioning possible inflation down the road :> Really curious about what Japanese are going to do..they could really create a bull market in gold either way..they can continue to ignore their fundamental problems..or they could fix them and use gold as one means for currency stability..the lower the yen goes..the less likely the prudent Japanese savers would want to have their assets in yen denominated holdings.. just guessing.. ps..don't think it is a bit bizarre that two year2000 companies..one even working on european currency had such a meltdown with the rest of the market flying..maybe I am overreacting but year2000 plays and commodity plays and possibly casino stocks.(though.only for final blowoff re casino stocks..metaphor for this bubble) are the place to be. I trust Laslo Birinyi's calls on market though since he is working on pure empirical data..he sees all the trades..so I think us market will continue to fly..for a while longer..)
