Ahhahha I have been intrigued by your analysis of expansion of the money supply. I am confused as to why it takes so long to show up as inflation. It makes no sense to me how the money supply can outstrip the growth of the economy w/o a fundamental devaluing of the worth of the money. Two questions, is there a site where I can find what the money supply is doing and do you consider ABX to be a reasonable buy at these levels. Oops, a third question, is there a good history book which chronicles actions of the FED say in the 20's thru the early 30's and then again in the 60's to the mid 70's. Also I would be interested in Japan (early 80's) thru early 90's. If not, and you have a perspective, on the fed's paths during these periods, I would love to hear it. thanks

Cheap chips Looking for some blue chips to put on your plate? Investools.com's "Daily Advisory" quotes conservative investor Geraldine Weiss' special report on the top values among blue-chip firms. Weiss saysgold is at a 30-year low, and it makes sense to add at least one gold stock to your holdings. She picks Barrick Gold (ABX). Also in her top 10 is Arnold Industries (AIND), a trucking and warehousing firm that's suffered from strikes and driver shortages. But Weiss likes its future earnings prospects. The price-fixing scandal that hit Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is yesterday's news, says Weiss, so the damage done to its stock price makes it a top blue-chip value. And she predicts The Limited (LTD), which is closing underperforming stores, "is ready to dazzle Wall Street." Weiss also picks two utilities as best blue-chip values: Central South West (CSR) and Hawaiian Electric (HE). And she likes what she sees in Wallace Computer (WCS). The company makes business forms, labels and office products, and Weiss is attracted to its low proce-to-earnings ratio of 13 and its very low debt. More on this recommendation.
