Bearbones Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 At its ongoing rate of dollar accumulation China's total stash of dollars will exceed its GDP in five years. The Canadian trusts purchased in Canada are proving to be a good place to hide from the dollar problem. You get the currency movement, income paid in Canadian dollars, and the natural resource play. So far that strategy has worked better than Canadian bonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Sherlock: It must have been comforting to discover that you were unable (inadvertently) to breach FED regs and invest in The Carlyle Group! Private co. pluto's only! Yeah, but United Defense was a publicly traded company prior to the buyout. Since I had never even heard, at that time, of the Carlyle Group, I felt comfortable and safe. Because of my big mouth, managers at work learned that I was a trader. Man, you would not believe the efforts they went through to prove that I was trading on company time. heheheh I Wasn't! But the key issue was that I had told my manager that his investment in Lucent was going down. Since he had recommended Lucent to his investment club, circa 2000, He was very committed to that investment. He didnt want to face reality, so he went after me. His endeavors became so exotic, that I ended up charging him with sexual harrassment. Picture this: your boss tracking you out in the parking lot ever day when you go home or tracking you and following you after every meeting you attend.. Pictute this: "somebody" sitting in a car in the parking lot watching your every move. Imagine having witnesses to what you aver to be true. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to tell you that for all the benefits obtained, Federal Service is a bitch. Not talking about the appointees, who fly on silver wings, I am talking about the normal, daily, specialists who take care of your government's business day after day at the lower levels. I cry for those employees over at Bureau of Labor Statistics that are ordered to come up with the reports that we see. Behind all that crap, there are honest gov't emplyees that are facing the same problems that I faced. The stranglehold of the Administration on the lower level Gov't employees has become an enormous problem. But then, who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrack Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Soup, we are in the minoritiy with our views. Most everyone else sees the markets and economy much different. There are good reasons to think other ways. Nevertheless, I share your frustration.... Eventually all will become clear...... Best wishes....

Guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 refreshed screen and see 14 online- does that mean market continues to tank? or did PPT signal time for morning tea? maybe interference w/ board count???? It's my observation that Doc's "counter" on who is online is defective. I have been online many times and yet not shown on the list. People who have just posted are also not on the list. My view of the # of online posters as a market indicator is that its bullshit! If I choose to stay offline, will the market go down? hehehe look at me my goodness, I am so powerful that I move markets. IMHO false indicator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soup Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 libertas/jstrack: good point(s). I guess reality is just not an option when the personal debt levels are so high? /// Kwave: Yes , seems to be the last gasp. Folks have got everything placed on red , the house just has to continue to appreciate, any other outcome is unacceptable and unworkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
