nuclear winterappreciate the post ken.................quite the article with alot to digest. It's weird as lately I've been thinking that this next decade or two may be the oppurtunity of a lifetime and that one can make huge cash if one is quick and nimble and willing to move in and out of various metals and the oils. With China and India growing I've been also thinking that there may be other oppurtunities. My son (15) wants me to buy Nike (and more tech cominco). I've been thinking that Nike wouldnt be a bad buy either as sales in China and India should grow dramatically. Yet one of my warning signs is that when any peon investor (like myself) starts making the money I've been making perhaps its time to reevaluate (made astronomical money in the tech boom only to lose most of it)!! Anyway the markets can indeed be a dangerous place. Lets see what the news today brings us and be careful!! Still believe the p/e's for most metals and oils are low. GLTA!!
