  1. That, sir, is a very astute observation which I agree with. The only question, is the timing. I do find myself fighting the urge to buy treasuries myself, with the realization that I will undoubtedly lose sufficient purchasing power to inflation to regret my action long-term.

    Not that there might not be a beauty of a rally in the bonds before that happens, though.

  5. Actually, I'm not Doctor Heidegger - he daid! He in de box! I'm his long-lost grandson, Hans. My dad, Heinrich, was born to Hanna Arendt and Gunther Stern in '34 but Gunther wasn't the father; my dad was a love child of Hanna and Dr. H. It's a long, complicated, completely untrue story, so I won't bore you with any more of it.

    You suggest the voting isn't 100% legit. Are you suggesting that some ET people aren't completely, utterly honest? What next: Some politicians are dishonest? Some businesspersons are dishonest? Some lawyers? Look inside, and draw strength from that peaceful centre of your being; cast off these dark thoughts and walk in the light of the knowledge that we are all one with each other and with the universe.

    By the way, I dropped out of school after failing grade 3 seven times so I don't know a lot about statistics, but shouldn't the ratio have held aroud 64/36 - where it was after 100 votes?

  6. wouldn't say it's a statistical error on your part...

    my guess is people voting today were coming off a day away from the market. Relaxation. A little perspective. People voting yesterday more likely to still be wearing some of it's recent emot. tone.
