Crisis/Opportunity

[cottonpicken]

Nothing like watching a sunrise on a sunday
morning with a toddler for a moment of complete
clarity.

With the geo-political events of the world over the
past little and long while i believe an incredible
opportunity has opened up,right under our nose.It
may stink when you first smell it but i gotta feellin.

Six years and 700% later i believe i will start
unwinding some of my metal position on monday.

"A crisis is an opportunity riding a dangerous wind"

don't worry. tomorrow the bobbleheads on bnn and cnbc will tell you what to do. but if you tune out the static what they are doing is shrieking buy, buy, buy. they have to be the most useless bunch of shills in the universe.

I think the future is in this Gov't getting it's act together and start pushing for value added here and start selling finished product instead of raw. We should be already building the malt houses and flour mills.

Our markets will be too busy rebuilding thier houses. Tell them they don't have to worry about manufacturing food we will build that. Worry about getting your lives rebuilt.

But oh no we will send aid to help them instead.

but when western canadian grain farmers have a little hiccup like a dry (or wet) year they want all the aid they can get. lol.

I think you're smelling toddler cotton diaper. (lol)

I'm sticking with the 1000% metal increase over the last three years as they have a good ways to go yet.

cottonpicken, I thought I read somewhere recently that Japan was the 2nd biggest purchaser of US treasuries. If that is true, and they slow down or heaven forbid, stop the purchase of US treasuries, because they'd rather use their wealth to rebuild Japan, wouldn't that have a huge effect on the USD. If other buyers are hesitant to take up the treasuries, won't the dollar decline and interest rates rise? Wouldn't all that cause metals to rise? Are you just getting out before the next leg up? Just asking, where am I wrong and want am I missing?

i don't think there will be any big disruption from japan in the us treasury market. the americans will offer some sort of consideration behind closed doors so that everything will go smoothly. the japanese might not buy as much but it will be done in such a manner as to not upset any applecarts. there is nothing in it for the japanese if the us dollar were to collapse.
