Best quit while you are behind. :)

My first name is English royalty, my second is from a Sunderland family of shipwrights and my last is a Scot variant of a common English name. But they all seemed to marry Colleens (plus a Norwegan seaman) so I can claim to be Irish, at least on March, 17. So no.

Penny, you seem comfortable there. Are you ethnic Chinese (OK if you don't answer that) or do you at least speak the language?

The most common vehicle to have guns mounted on it if the film from Africa is a guide.

WW has left the building!

China still has a big ace up it's sleeve and The Party has good reason to play it, and it ISN"T to look after The West, it will be to keep the masses under control. That is the one big thing which keeps policy makers' mind on their job. They don't want to defend against the type of chaos which...

Fifty years ago I learnt how to present and interpret squiggles on an oscilloscope. If I saw a chart with time/voltage axes other guys with different screens could present the same data in such a way that an observer would not believe that they had the same input. All are legitimate but only one...

Not sure much flourisher in a bush fire, does it?

I began by saying I constantly hear stories. If I had data to graph I would not have used that phrase.

I constantly hear stories of empty buildings and factories, but China is a big place so I suspect it is about as meaningful, in the BIG picture, as our waste on the school projects. We resent the waste but don't believe it will bring us down. I don't see it being any big deal in China either.

The LNG supplement to the Weekend Australian showed just how big our exports to Asia are going to become. The big limit on production will be capital and skilled labour, not market. So if anyone is young and wants to make a dollar, get trained in high-pressure pipe welding. :D

I'm not sure of your point BC but too late in life I realised that "making a living" interferes with "making money" and strangely enough it may have been Manny Casimatis, of Storm Financial fame, who provided the "Ah ha!" moment. Anyway, that's how I interpreted your cryptic post. :) BTW: This...

I don't remember Faber being bullish about anything. At best he will say something is "less worse" than the US.

Only holding a few majors would bore me to tears. :( Why do juniors scare you? You are at no higher risk of losing "the lot" than you are with majors and it is no "safer" to invest in majors without doing some reading than throwing a dart at a list of "hopefuls". I wish I had more discipline...

Reeco, my mid-cap miner has a market cap 70% of Lihir's. I bought when it was an explorer. I expect it to be a one mil oz/y producer within 2 years. Had a good night in Toronto. I have made 200% on my original stake in the last 5 days for a total 1570% gain. Santos is 6.55% up by contrast...

To profit from China's (possible) collapse would not be easy. For one thing, you have no way of knowing what form it will take and whether it will be just a speed bump or over the cliff. For another, you do not know when so you can't simply decide "Cash is King" and just wait like a vulture...

I'm doing quite nicely, thanks, by being bearish property. I'm having a ball on the stock market. :D So show some respect please. LOL

You do need to learn the tactics Daniel. The perma-bulls will never allow you to survive a frontal attack. Sniper raids are the best you can do. As Reeco says, It can be fun. :D

Never heard of Karl but I know that nobody bats 100% if you ask "when, exactly". Many are very good on trends though but they quickly diverge. I LOVE reading this stuff and will read Karl's effort but it will be "just another voice". Sorry.

"B" Plus a bit to be accepted. :)
