My little piece of peace

This will be a long slow lumbering affair IMO and you don't want to own things that governments don't like toward the end of it. Another decade is likely, complete with at least one more high drama year. The final drama will likely see new formal international currency arrangements and a made over USD. JMO

It is extremely hard to predict these types of events, the logic and the fundamentals can seem very apparent for a very long time before change actually comes to pass. Think "A beautiful mind", Nash equilibrium, a stable disequilibrium can be supported for a long while when it suits all players BUT once one player breaks the "stable disequilibrium" the move is typically fast.... first out best dressed stuff. Are we there yet? I don't think so, I would think that the vested interests are such that this hangs together until the king pin is best positioned, I suspect that has not happened yet. Who is the king pin? Many would have it as the USA but I suspect that China gets to end this gold bull market and with it this chapter of world economic history.... but then maybe I had too much coffee this AM!?

Hi Moggie,
Ian:?: I thought he was past tense? (retired) - cannot find anything in a quick search - a link?

I was with Silver Raven for a while this afternoon, He is very positive and full of the joy of life, still quite intense, and LOVES anything that may be termed a "sail-boat", and "goes-fast", will set him full of ideas and interest... It is almost impossible for the casual observer to guess he is totally blind, except, to walking a little cautiously with his hand gently resting on someone's shoulder for guidance... He is an amazing person who knows so much about making stuff of GRP and has lots yet to give...

 

Jum... Mr Gold, ya know, old sinkers!

Hi Westie,
I may be a ******* (illegitimate - same as SR declares), but that is not in our nature, and we boaties must stick by and help each other. That is our bond...

There is a difference between blind drunk and bored. Just FYI, I can't drink enough to get that bored!

 

My boredom is now bored...

That would make a good screen saver whilst you are away and restrict prying eyes :!: How about a bit of winding road like near Cairns from Smithfield to top of the range towards Kuranda? or the section of road up to Lake Morris (near Cairns but a bit south of the Kennedy Hwy and narrower and more tight corners - - You seem to have the time and inclination please post that segment - Some may even vomit eventually...

From Ed Steer's Gold & Silver daily - LINKS. . . . . Ahhhhgh - Why not let you select and read your choice - http://www.caseyresearch.com/gsd/ed...on-says-523-million-gold-sale-never-discussed - - - - - The lead shows that to buy and hold bullion is the best way (not in someone else's bank/vault)...

Nothing to see here - Moggies boredom is contagious - There are no markets, just fraud and manipulation complements of USFed, GS, JPMC, BoA and others in USA Eu & Canada etc (the banksters), and the lieing politicians who have sold their soul to the lobbyists...

Time to find a quiet escape paradise - anyone care to help finance and join my quest?

My washing machine has an undocumented feature - a strange clunking noise and a ghostly light flashing on the wash - Bloody spectacular - I was fascinated and started to worry that I may have captured a flying saucer as the light was a ghostly bright blue....:?: :?: :?: - - - - Bugger what was it :?: so I stopped the machine and fished around in the depths of the bowl and extracted a drowned note pad - Oops must have left that in a shirt pocket :?: But I took out the mobile (which resides in the same pocket) - dig around some more - AHhhhhh . . . one of those small LED torches - removed and dried - none the worse for the washing. Just me confused - How did it get into the wash? - no sign of the miniaturised flying saucer that sought to steal said item... Go figure...
