Some final food for thought from China, whose equity market peaked last August:

from the WSJ: Liu Mingkang, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, said that a weak U.S. dollar and low U.S. interest rates had led to “massive speculation” that was inflating asset bubbles around the world. It has created “unavoidable risks for the recovery of the global economy, especially emerging economies,” Mr. Liu said. The situation is “seriously impacting global asset prices and encouraging speculation in stock and property markets.”

Deflation may be the proven antidote to inflation…

Inverse for metals and mining stocks. Silver goes ballistic (always does at the end of the move). Metals peak late Q1/early Q2, mining stocks roll over 8 weeks before metals peak. Other indexes go sideways/ down then begin the long slide to next Fall, with everything, PMs, too (from much higher prices, of course).

Anyway that is only a short lived problem as eventually they will fall down together with the government. The reason why I wanted to make a comment is to rectify the suiss debt to GDP, which is not 423 %, but will be 1% of GDP in the year 2013 due to the current financial crisis.

Plan to fulfill late Sunday night after returning from out of town conference. Meanwhile, if you did not see the Buffett Gates show on CNBC.com, worth seeing this weekend for healthy multi-decade values perspective. Both did well with their efficient green rails, still targeting higher, CNI 62 and BNI 140, subject to Stops: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1329393420&play=1 64:51 Regards*Rich Aloha All

It helps in keeping readers interested in what you have to say rather than having to stop reading to check your statements. The rest of the article then becomes less believable. Sorry, just the way things are. So, anyway I read on and found more factual errors. The Knights Templar did not invent letters of credit. The ancient Greeks used them. The Italains of the 13th century got the idea of letters of credit from the Chinese. OK, that's enough fact checking for now. I got as far as the second paragraph and then gave up.

Passover is the 14th of Nisan. As you may know, Jews counted the end of the day at sundown which began the 14th day of Nisan. The Egyptians would have counted the night of Passover as the 13th when all the first born were killed. Thus the unlucky 13th or Friday the 13th.
