Lazarus, the market chain you describe is correct, but there is much more. In fact, the part you described is just a front for the real end use of the bones. The evidence there is more comes from the fact that, as you point out, trade is done in US dollars. Where do these dollars come from? We'll I'll tell you. There is a giant laundering scheme involved. The bones are actually ground up and are the key active ingredient in Viagra. Makes sense. The bones give the ostrich it's tall ridged structure yet let it droop to the point it can stick it's head in the sand. (I understand some research is now being done with the OHNO birds as an antidote to the prolonged erections cause by overdoses of Viagra ). PFE has, as you can imagine, kept this a very deeply guarded secret. Letting the real use of the bones out would be a real boner, as they say. If the market got wind of their true use, the price would rise (and a black market in ground ostrich bone would develop) and put a squeeze on them where it hurts the most .. the bottom (line I think). Clearly, a rising price would deflate the spirit (and other parts) of the end-users. A black market may raise things up again as end users would bypass the PFE middleman profiteer and get the key ingredient directly. I also heard that LGND has quietly cornered a supply of bones. Apparently the bones interact synergistically with Panretin and Targretin in a heretofore undisclosed application. There is a secrecy agreement with PFE in this area so I'm not sure what it is all about. Could there be a once a month Viagra pill on its way?? Good time to grab some POFM before the general market gets wind of all this.
