      Nationwide WiMAX: Who Benefits?
      Wimax will be an absolute godsent in the whole wide developing world, especially Latin America, Indonesia and the Philippines where fixed line broadband will never be part of the future.
      Cheap iPones or iPhone-like devices will drive the rollout of Wimax.

      What If We'd Been on the Gold Standard?
      Best comments I have read for a long time here.

      A bit US-centric.

      More universal was the observation that getting ON the gold standard also gives the opportunity to get OFF it. And vice-versa.

      Knowing the switch in advance, by being politically able to make it happen, is of untold value.
      For a country that now has all the backing to make the switch to a gold/commodity standard, and one where such decisions can be made by a small circle,
      it would be a tempting proposition.

      An Islamic gold dinar, a Golden Yuan or a Palladium Ruble anyone?

      Gold’s 'Grand' Illusion
      Another hypothetical story:
      A coup-d'etat in Saudi Arabia brings a junta to power that will replace the Saudi Rial with an Islamic gold Dinar. Saudi Arabia has its own gold mines to back this currency and to make double sure it now demands payment in gold for its oil exports.
      China, which has just become the world's largest gold producer, creates a sepate fully convertible Yuan, backed by its gold reserves in the ground. In order to create liquidity and credibility for its gold standard, it purchases bullion on the open market with its depreciating dollar reserves.
      Switzerland with its large remaining gold reserves joins the return to the gold standard...
      Other large gold holders, such as the Netherlands, will be under pressure to follow.
      Unlikely? Sure.
      But the story of the worthless gold on the stone-age island is even more far-fetched.

      Gold: The Last Cheap Asset Class?
      I agree partially with Hugh and Pangea. I tried to sell at the top of that 1980 spike myself and the best I could do was 650-670, that is how fast it vanished.
      However, I do not agree that that spike tells us nothing. Its history tells us about how the spike formed: an oil price spike, collapsing confidence in the USD and geo-political tension on the boil.
      Precious metals typically spike under such conditions.
      I do expect a repeat--in inflation adjusted prices.

      Study Suggests Financial Bloggers May Move Markets
      Investors, especially retail investors, may be getting more information from their PC screens than from the old print media.
      They check their portfolio on-line, read the associated articles and blogs and..form the basis of their decisions.
      I very much appreciate Veljko's study and believe the study needs to be complemented by research into the changing reading habits of investors and small traders.

      Investing in a Resource-Constrained World (Part III)
      Mark, you said "It (China) doesn't have any strategic base and precious metal reserves of any significant size."
      Correction: China has very significant gold deposits and will soon overtake South Africa as the world's biggest producer.
      Care to speculate how China could leverage this position?

      Gold's Just Getting Started - Barron's Interview
      Hi Publius Valerius,
      One answer to your question on how to invest in Chinese Yuan is to purchase ADR's of profitable companies that have assets priced in Chinese Yuan and revenue in Chinese Yuan.
      At this moment the prices of these ADR's are still behaving as if they are US shares, but sooner or later investors will recognize their intrinsic value and re-price them on the US exchanges.
      Meanwhile, as the value of their US$ price erodes, they are becoming bigger and bigger bargains.

      An Interview With “Trader Vic"
      Chinesetrader makes a valid point.
      It appears that palladium may have the biggest potential as the jewellery-metal of choice in China.

      ThinkEquity: Fallen Bidz.com Is a Grahamian Opportunity
      Rather than focusing on the chart, I read the Citron piece and followed the links. For those who read the Aframian conviction pdf, I picked up this comment in a complaint forum, by a company spokesperson (Mouniyah Aframian):Posted: Mar 08 '07, 10:20 am Reply

      RE: Bidz.com - Sells Junk via auction

      First I would like to start off by asking this customer if the customer would like to return the Fuel watch. I have talked with the returns department manger and he said that he would ok your return if it was past the 15 day return policy. We would suggest the customer to go to a jeweler and have them type up a statement explaining what that customer claims is wrong with the watch. All I would need to proceed with the return is the customer’s user name or the listing number of the watch. If this customer has any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at 800-444-81-24 or 310-280-7373 select option one and ask to speak with me my name is MOUNYAH or if you would like you can email me at maframian@bidz.com. I will be waiting to hear from this customer.

      My conclusion: RUN from what is left of this stock and don't insult the memory of Graham.
