Yes, I intend to buy a lottery ticket as well, just as insurance you understand, in the unlikey event that my master plan fails.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-2233772135077507922008-02-26T19:37:00.000+00:002008-02-26T19:37:00.000+00:00Interesting playout, John, though the disruptive c...Interesting playout, John, though the disruptive consequences of 1 and 3 might mean that it takes longer for the East to get to phase 2. As to the yacht, you have to have fairly serious money to make serious money, otherwise I might do the same. But we do buy the odd Lottery ticket.<BR/><BR/>Do you think the Caribbean is safe?Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410040031410954403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-63122931939149185432008-02-26T17:35:00.000+00:002008-02-26T17:35:00.000+00:00In the sure knowledge that things never pan out as...In the sure knowledge that things never pan out as logic suggests, I'll cast my vote for the following.<BR/><BR/>Scenario 1 over the next 12 months, i.e. to all appearances a "locomotive" US, but all lies and bluster as they continue papering over the cracks and remain in denial, hoping to re-capitalise with no one noticing. Gold will break above $1000, but maybe not decisively.<BR/><BR/>In 2009 we will then drift into scenario 3, a few large US financial institutions will fail and it will be doom and gloom. Gold will hit an inflation adjusted high $2300/oz.<BR/><BR/>Finally, from 2010, scenario 2. The dust will have settled, Asia will begin to decouple, and a slow grinding recovery will begin. Gold will spike in this phase and then collapse.<BR/><BR/>The day before gold peaks I'll sell, buy a yacht, and retire to the Caribbean.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-30509029693673030872008-02-26T13:34:00.000+00:002008-02-26T13:34:00.000+00:00wonder if he sees UK / Sterling as more aligned wi...wonder if he sees UK / Sterling as more aligned with US/$ or Eu/€ ?Nick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-10482853250305427702008-02-26T06:29:00.000+00:002008-02-26T06:29:00.000+00:00Yes, and that market is so manipulable.Yes, and that market is so manipulable.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410040031410954403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-56498750148300353812008-02-26T00:59:00.000+00:002008-02-26T00:59:00.000+00:00Only the glinty stuff gets two "L"s.Only the glinty stuff gets two "L"s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
