DryDocker Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Sphinxter: Unbelievable. These guys haven't held a Gold Eagle before??? I carry one at all times. It is addictive. The satisfaction of holding a small piece of wealth outside of The Matrix. I got some Maples this week, and was nearly blinded by the brilliance of those coins. Gold Fever. If everyone just had one coin to hold, they would suddenly realize how worthless those greenbacks are in the big picture. Gold maples are so indescribably beautiful, their soft gleaming yellow light almost liquid and smooth, their weight surprising and substantial. The weight goes beyond mere ounces... it almost feels like a vessel filled with the dreams, hopes, greed, treachery and desire of men through all the ages, dating back to before there were written records. I am an owner of maples. I carry a Kruge with me as a cheap substitute, more resistant to nicks and scratches than the soft, almost liquid 4-nines pure maples. Maples along with the ozzie kangaroo's are prettiest of the "regular" gold coins. Have some proof maples and eagles too - gorgeous coins. You're right Wyndy, having a 1 oz. eagle in your pocket somehow makes you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeedFool Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 The "investor class" breaks down into producers and consumers. I know which side I want to be on. It is a distinct advantage to be able to print cash and securities, rather than being forced to engage in distasteful activities such as work to obtain them, as the hapless investment consumers are obliged to do. One day those guys who makes those nasty but nice goodies will F***U. We don?t want your Toilet papers. Thank u very much for Scr*** us to the ground. Now we are going to make u suffer.

Metamucil Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Unemployed folks can stay home and just buy this stock, on 0% credit cards; no overhead resistance. This is the beginning of a permanent plateau of prosperity. <img src="http://216.218.139.67/chart/engine.asp?skin=marketscreen&split=1&pri=&time=&cname=&lcprice=&symbol=ebay&indicator=32,5,3,3;34,,,;48,,,;64,9,,&dur=5y&freq=2&intr=&type=4&width=480&height=360"> EBAY had a inverse head/shoulder target of 111 area. Today's high. If it can bounce off of 104-105 level, it may approach fibo target of 118 area. But a lot of rats left the ship today I bet. Quite the buy and hold from 26. I'm sold on it now. In fact, my new consulting fee schedule requires payment in 1000PE stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmoid Friend Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Notes on the New Economy II: French Fry Is Sold for $200 on eBay Thu Jul 3, 7:51 AM ET LA CROSSE, Wis. - A man has sold what he billed as the world's largest french fry for more than $200 on the Internet auction-house eBay. Simon Holland found the 6 3/4-inch fry during a meal at a Wisconsin Rapids Culver's on June 24. Instead of eating the spud, he immediately froze it and put it up for auction on eBay.

Sphinxter Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Speaking of dim bulbs, my favorite idiots (64 economists) were out in force on the front page of the WSJ today proclaiming their hopes for a second half recovery. Most amazing was that 20 of them predicted a better then 4% growth rate for both quarters. Undetered by having over-guessed the 1Q GDP growth rate by 271%, James Smith of UNC came in with the higest guesses at 5.4% and 6.8% for Q3 and Q4, respectively. Apparently James shares an ivory tower office complex with some man known as "The Architect" and they've got a side business called "Matrix, Inc." Unstated in the article is that the 64th economist, the bearish Gary Shilling of Shilling and Co., came closest out of the bunch on his 1Q prognostications. I'll assume he was only grudgingly re-included in this survey due to his prior accuracy. His go-forward numbers? GDP of 3Q -1.6% and 4Q -2%. Those were the only negative numbers out of all 64. Go Gary, go. On another subject, I heard on the radio that "experts" consider the recent (un)employment to be a sign that we are truly in a "jobless recovery". Oh really? Isn't it even more probable that we are in a "jobless recession"? That's not nearly as puzzling a concept. You know, Occum's razor and all.

Captain's Log Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Re: bubble valuations, I see that some penguin (Fleck's term?) has established '05 earnings targets for Yahoo and Overture.This past Monday, SoundView Technology anal cyst Jordan Rohan said that due to strong pricing and paid-search volume, Overture (OVER: news, chart, profile) should exceed second-quarter estimates. Since Overture is Yahoo's paid-search partner, Yahoo should also do well in the quarter. Back in mid-June, Rohan upgraded Yahoo and established an '05 outlook. For online media, Wall Street has become increasingly confident that companies will make the grade. In fact, crystal balls are apparently getting clearer in the outer years. At the end of June, Smith Barney anal cyst Lanny Baker raised his '04 estimates for CNet (CNET: news, chart, profile). He predicts next year's sales will grow 20 to 25 percent, which is twice as much as the previous consensus. This is from Bambi's latest missive at SeeBS.markethype.com... I wonder what would happen if sales taxes on internet sales were applied to burst this baby. The States need new revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
