on this very thing regarding Dubai, cranes at stanstill, workers not getting paid. If you owe debt and cannot pay they put you in jail until it's paid...hopefully you have someone on the outside able to earn enough to get you out. There's families sleeping in cars in parking lots not able to afford a place to stay and some with husbands in jail beacuse they lost there jobs and owed a debt. They said in the documentary, what you see isn't what you get unless your're highy enriched....so is this the start of the real estate debacle.....I'll bet the property prices are worth alot less than last week.

So I was wondering what the US has done with there gold holdings,,,bought/sold?...and if they hold alot at what price is the book price. Can they not raise the value of gold holdings to reflect current or at least partial current market value to help the balance sheet...hmmmm

Shopping is hard on the eyes, back, feet, throat[dry air] and the pocket book..lol

But Costco., a lifesaver...Imax is distributing a box of a dozen cd's on the planet, various topics, that will be great for a big screen...so everyone with big tv's gets one...lol......good films though...knocked off several presents right away.....

Klaus thought kmk was getting weak and sold already.....going to try and zero in on a buy price...should make a lower low than last week....be interesting to see if the US dollar rallies here and golds reaction....
