Hi Jay,
Thought I'd sneak in the first post over here. I've enjoyed your posts on SI "the coming financial collapse of 2001" (or is it 2002, 2003, 200n+1,... <g), though I'm not an SI member, so no posting. I'm the read and absorb type anyway. The PM stocks have been very good to me this year and I think they will be the "gift that keeps on giving", until they don't. Hope I'll see when to give them back to the market before then!
Just wanted to say thanks for all your witty and thought provoking posts over the past few years. BTW, my wife's from your neck of the world with last name Chen, so maybe we're distant, distant relative-in-laws.
