Just wondering where all the “Bring it on people” are at

[Running Bear]

Zk,

I am in cash right now because the dollar is the world reserve currency and as assets are liquidated the dollar will rise. Once this liquidation process is over, we will see the quote come into play. If the dollar wasn’t the reserve currency we would be seeing our currency getting crushed. I have the ability because of foreign holdings to move my money to any currency or asset very quickly. I am just in the dollar right now because of short term timing. I don’t plan on being there by the end of next year.

To answer your first question, I think it is pretty clear now that there will be no voluntary abandonment. We are going to be forced and it will come in the form of a bond market dislocation. Followed after that by the dollar crashing hard. At least that is my current thesis.

So in the end I simply was trying to put forth:
a – a hell of alot more collateral damage then anyone will care to acknowledge.
b – a very very real possibility that our government will not handle this well and that we will be in for a much longer down time then anybody anticipates.
c – that no matter how safe anyone thinks they are, ultimately you just never know.

SDR, I think you are missing the point. Life isn’t real if it does not have ANY pain. But the pain following the bubble burst is smaller to piggs, the minority saving/renting group in the nation, comparing to what we stand to gain.
I wish I could have more compassion to the fellow average American, but they have spent tens of thousands equity in the bubble years and laughed at us who are fiscally responsible. It is payback time now. Plus a reasonably priced asset class is good for the country in the long term. So bring it on!

Actually Flu I had nothing to articulate at the moment of my last post so I just said something to acknowledge yours.

You gave a lot of food for thought in the recent post. You speak well on the dynamics of the real professional world.

I also don’t mean any offense to anyone but I don’t consider RE a profession.On the sales person and brokerage level it is just a business to engage in, that people go about in different ways.It seems to me of being “professional” are often more one-upsmanship games about sales models or small differences in knowlege than anything. One can behave more or less professionally but so can the gardener.

Anyway that was an obvious tangent but it came up earlier.

About the children. I think we open doors to prepare them to live up to their potential as best we can as they reveal who they are. Hopefully, they find a suitable path to fulfilment from there and are willing and able to make life fulfilling if opportunity is tight relative to how they prepare having given it their best.At this point I think I would like bring out a work ethic in my kids, besides many other things, and be able to give them the choice of a house that they can’t sell until they are 50, or an education, or some combination of the above.

I am not the type to make a ” project” out of my kid like some, or neglect them as I was. Hopefully we find what works for their talents and personalities.

The possible negative scenario relative to “high level” job opportunity you discuss is happening all over the world to varying degrees. Argentines have free education( I don’t really understand the whole program) and many people are living without opportunity to work much in their fields. Without being really negative, it never hurts to be realistic about that possibility here and have a plan “B”.

It seems to me that it is about time for stockstrder to pop in with claims he made $100K in the market last week shorting something in a double inverse fund then doubled up on LadyKiller in the 5th at Santa Anita.
