Just a Spoonful of Sugar…

_________________________

Just back from the retard-iculously expensive version of Disney’s Broadway Musical — Mary Poppins

It was really a nice show, and the little Irish girl they’ve got playing Ms. Poppins is top notch.

Highly recommended, despite the seeming incongruity w. red blooded maleness.  Then again, there’s a fully stocked bar at the beautiful little New Amsterdam Theater.

That cannot be discounted.

Neither can be the bizzaro back and forth the market has been throwing us these past two days.  Calloo callay, what can I say?   I can say this:

The North Korean sabre rattling is bullshit.

The Turkey Gods cannot be gainsayed.

Benjamin will shower you with helicopter goods rather than grab you a job in the kleptocracy.   He’s like that.

(That’s it, I have no remonstrances after this)

Happy Thanksgiving to All.   Stay the Course, of course.

      No, we bagged… there were 12 of us, many tinies, etc. We went to FAO instead.

      I would’ve liked to have met Ms. Poppins, though. And the guy who hit the high note (no problem) whilst suspended upside down 35 feet over the stage…

    Flyaway, Chivo, Yogi, KC and Wilmer — very much appreciated, my best to you and yours this Thankful Day as well.

    Off to eat some sweet potatoes & acorn squash (the only day of the year I will eat either, btw).

      Good stuff. Just finished reading a history of that whole late 1840’s period. Amazing how much stuff was going on all at the same time… revolutions in Europe, the Mormon Exodus, the Gold Rush of 1849-1850’s, Procter & Gamble getting their start, the first socialisti commune movements in America (more like cults, actually).

      Amazing to think that the mania of the Gold Rush created San Francisco as we know it today, and that there have been similar rushes for “gold” there ever since… the most recent being technology gold.

    Jake – Thought you might enjoy this. Another take on what some might call “Frakenfoods” : http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/25/opinion/25kristof.html?src=me&ref=general

      Kristoff is a loopy lefty, so its good to see him not falling into line with the Eurosnobs on genetic enhancement. The whole Frankenfoods myth — especially when it comes into conflict with an attempt to address world hunger — reminds me of the DDT ban that the envirowack left imposed on the world, and thereby sentenced millions of kids to malarial death in Africa and South America.

      I am waiting for the grand irony — when Nurse Bloomberg decides DDT is okay to kill the bedbugs that will soon consume New York, one hotel room at a time.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Jake. Your advice is golden (and silver-en, and palladium-en) – that is to say, it’s treuly (sic) of inestimable value to those of us who benefit from it. Many thanks.

      Don’t think I didn’t notice that IAG was one of the “least down” PM stocks today. Nice pickup.

        Jake, I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving:) Do you think it’s time to start adding back into some of the favorite PMs here, despite the Korean situation driving up the dollar? I’m a bit scared here and would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. TIA:)

        PS: Knowing your fondness for kids, just FYI, my gravatar’s a pic of my little guy who’s about to turn 2 next week:)

          I think Jake will agree with me that it is not much of the Korean situation driving up the dollar. Instead, the blame (lol) lies on the EU. If the Korea situation were considered important, or if people thought war was a possibility, I believe you’d see a bid in all commodities, as such happens during wartime.

          Rather, look at the EU troubles and specifically how the EUR is reacting, versus the dollar (eur/usd) which is putting lots and lots of upward pressure on the dollar

          Cute kid… is he in a box?

          We need to wait here to see what the dollar is going to do before adding..

            Thanks, Jake, will be sitting on hands and watching the dollar then.

            Yes, he climbed into a box as the husband was in the process of assembling some cabinets. I couldn’t resist and snapped the pic:)

  12. Here ya go

    Jake,
    (I knew AC/DC is from down under)

    Do you like any silver jrs. going forward?
    What are the concerns re the Canadian traded pm companies?
    Do you expect a pm break out or even a mania at some point?
