Tuesday cinema & library (updated 11 pm HST)

On Tong Society, Honolulu

2:56 pm (Hawaii) Overnight action overseas is never dull. Since my interest in gold and silver began in the spring, I became addicted to checking spot prices in Asia and Europe. It's not to the point where I need to check every 5 minutes or 30 minutes. But it's always interesting to see where price goes with or without blatant manipulation by Comex.

Currently, gold is at 1657 and silver is 40.65, both holding up fairly well since the close in New York. If the market, indeed, collapses in the next day or two, I may regret not going short via QID or FAZ. But I'm content with my mostly cash and physical metals position. In a worst-case scenario, the market plunges, money is pulled out of paper metals and physical metal price follows. Then I'll be happy to grab as much physical as possible at 39 or 35 or 32. A man can still dream.

Bigger picture, are we on the precipice of a gargantuan crash, or are we at now at the foot the QE3 mountain?

3:27 pm (Hawaii) Just starting on today's cinema and library. More coming later this afternoon. It's a hot summer afternoon in Honolulu!

They can't force you to do anything. It's your willingness to go along with it that's your problem."

Ain't it true?

What I had to do was to find stocks that would be hoisted up because they stirred people's imagination for the future. ... I was not interested in the company's individual products, whether it was metals for rockets, solid fuel, or advanced electronic equipment. In fact, I did not want to know what they made—that information might only inhibit me. I did not care what the company's products were, any more than I was influenced by the fact that the board chairman had a beautiful wife. But I did want to know whether the company belonged to a new vigorous infant industry and whether it be haved in the market according to my requirements.

This, of course, was directly against the advice of many financial writers with conservative backgrounds who have been pounding into investors for generations that they must study company reports and balance sheets, find out all they can about a stock's background, in order to make a wise investment. I decided that was not for me. All a company report and balance sheet can tell you is the past and the present. They cannot tell the future. And it was for this I had to project my plans.
