Steve Barry, thanks! I am also an electrical engineer in Silicon Valley. I am all cash now, do not want to go back to mutual funds and need a money manager that uses hedging strategies like you. With a full time job I don’t have the time to mange my money.

The Austrian school as a group got this one right. Despite that, their free market philosophy has been discredited anyway.

“MutFund/Closed-End Fund-style vehicle”

Interesting thought; it should be a winner, right?

Personally, when I flip to the long side again it will be mostly in China and then the rest of Asia. Although, I would allocate some here, if I had enough confidence in the fund / person.

KJ,

one never discounts Quality, I’m referring to a MutFund/Closed-End Fund-style vehicle..

the Launch costs can be prohibitive, though, he should just Buy one out..

“No One Saw it Coming”

I believe that Dr. Kindleberger made some comments on the developing housing bubble in one of his last interviews: Wall Street Journal, July 2003.

@MEH

I don’t get it; you mean a discount for the small investor? Or something else?

@ KJ,

yes, on occasion, though, seems few care to play, thereby, few to play with..

Canasta’s hiliarous, depending on the point multiplier, people can get pretty twisted..

Bridge has long been on the TTD: list, though, never makes it to the top, for some reason..

Outdoors: Golf, and other associated target sports, Hunting w/ Nikon, Astronomy, y Otros..
~~

past that, Mr. Ritholtz should craft an offering so that those, able, can ‘Buy’m by the Box’..

or, deign to make obvious, that he, already does so..

BR,

as you know, a little self-promotion never hurt anyone.. : )

Maybe the conflict ends in another 5,000 years.
