Freaking Out and Princely Freaks
Are we all (am I) unduly freaking out about the economy? Hard to say: "In the last few years, however, something strange has happened. While there is no lack of survivalists stockpiling cat food and rifles, some of the direst thinkers are now working on Wall Street, where a combination of fear and foresight has many of the country's money men contemplating their escape routes." * * * * * * * Best blurb I saw while surfing to put together this morning's post: "In 1218, Genghis Khan sent his emissaries to the shah in Samarkand. The shah executed the Mongol diplomats and sent back their entourage with their heads shaved. As classic blunders go, this one ranks pretty high." It's a link to this site. * * * * * * * After graduating from college, a friend of mine worked for Prince as a roadie. It was during Prince's Sheila E years. He said Sheila E was great, but Prince was a whack job, an opinion Prince is perpetuating these days: Prince, the 52-year-old music icon has pronounced the internet dead, refusing to use any digital platforms to distribute his music. * * * * * * * Metals are falling. I've targeted a further purchase of silver (using SIVR) once it goes below $17 and a purchase of gold (PHYS) if it hits $1,160.
