Brutal Power Wrapped...

...In an elegant machine.

You must remember that people such as Ezekiel did not themselves write what is today called 'the Book of Ezekiel.'

This was written by the Great Men of Assembly - The Knesset Ha-Gadol.

There is such a thing today and you know of it: the Knesset.

The ink that Ezekiel uses.

The traditional idea of the 'Men of Assembly' is popularly held to be any of or all the actual great prophets - Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi and so on. In fact it is literally hundreds if not thousands of 'prophets;' meaning anyone who was officiating at the holy tent or the temple or just in the sacred rituals and also who was installed for the particular year as the chief priest. 

In other words, in the case of Ezekiel - he witnessed some things, and reported some things, and then a whole bunch of other people who never did, committed something to writing which may contain some direct facts or exact coverage of the actual matters and then they certainly also contained whatever 'council spin' they were going to throw in there.

Later Biblical figures consistently say that the scribes of Israel have lied on numerous occasions or even for that matter, most or all of the time.

What is telling about Ezekiel is that he does not say God or these humanoid people in linen clothing who were taking instructions from God destroyed a large number of people because they 'sinned.' He said it was due to the numerous bad things the whole society was doing, but most especially of all, the violence and war-mongering by the rulers and the leaders and subsequently how that trickled down into the mindset of the people at large.

And he says that even the simplest thought that some people had, which caused them to shake their heads at the general wickedness and evil, was enough for God to have his agents 'mark them on the forehead' which caused them not to be harmed when beings of slaughter went out and killed all the rest.

The coffee that Ezekiel drinks and the
news that Ezekiel reads...

Now in the Islamic traditions, there is this famous 'Battle of Badr' which cannot be found in any independent account or in any historical evidence whatsoever, and was only first mentioned in Islamic writings almost two hundred years after the 'battle' itself was said to have taken place. But nonetheless, in this story, five thousand 'angels' are sent out to help counter an opponent army of about a thousand soldiers.

In the Biblical narrative (2 Kings) of the destruction of Sennacherib's army - two hundred thousand soldiers were killed in one night by just one angelic being.

In the situation of what Ezekiel recounted, it was 'six men' (angelic beings flying around) and one of them was just a person taking notes of what was being ordered.

Now another interesting aspect of what Ezekiel had to say is that very specifically, the first of these otherworldly beings he encounters, says to him expressly right at the start that 'the people have said to themselves there is no God, God has departed from us, abandoned us, and we are a law unto ourselves.'

Now you know, if you
go to a top restaurant, and they serve 
you 'Ortiz anchovies,' it will
literally be like this (no I kid you not).
It's supposed to be served in the tin
like you see it here. 
Usually they add a large pat of highest
quality butter alongside and the
bread is warm.
But that's it.

The Bible taken as a whole goes on past the simple idea that 'Israel' belongs to this God who has some 'beings' of His flying around in bright shiny things with fire and landing wheels and whatever else - and it ends with the concept that the whole entire world belongs to this same God and that He will let it go on for some thousands of years and then suddenly turn up 'like a thief in the night' and visit a lot of carnage on a whole bunch of people alive at that time and even some who 'come out of their graves!'

Leave the Islamic thing aside - that is a pathetic, low-level bit of tribal bickering being described there. What you have on your hands in the larger Biblical narrative is a whole different order of violence and utter destruction.

Will it happen?

Oh yeah absolutely it will.

'Ezekiel' is nothing if not a series of mini Doomsday-Prepping scenarios, in which Ezekiel packs enough food which is laid out beforehand as to how much he should schedule over so-and-so many days ahead.

And right on time, things go according to that schedule, the specific events thereof he really did not know ahead of them actually happening.

One time he is forcibly taken up and dropped off in Babylon somewhere where exiles of his people were, and then another time he is left alone up on a mountain for seven days and he says that he is miserable then and complains quite a bit about his feelings.

We are today on the edge of a great global conflagration involving more than just nuclear weapons - we have one time already, maybe more than just that one recent time and not fully realized it, been taken through biological warfare of quite a sophisticated type which has had lingering problems that will have harmed a lot of people worldwide.

And there is no genuine indication that those running the world, the puppet-masters in Washington and Europe, to say nothing of the saber-rattling of NoKo and the Beijing China people - have other ideas than to run us all into the wall of nuclear disaster and perhaps worse.

They have no 'better' ideas. About anything.

You work, you do as you're told by them and that's all there is about it.

Well okay.

So now I'll tell you the reason I have been going about these themes that are aimed at having you have at least some personal experiences of 'other-worldly' beings that are here.

I'm not sure how successful you have been at attracting anyone's attention from that lot and I will tell you I know they are quite offhanded and verging on the completely dismissive of our simple ordinary human fears and worries. 

The elegant machine
Ezekiel was flying around in.

At the same time I guarantee that some of you are having an odd positive turn of your own Earthly affairs without actually 'seeing' any obvious external hand in things.

Make no mistake though, we are on the doorstep - the 'threshold,' as Ezekiel says about one of his encounters with a being or a craft and a being in a glowing craft - of utter conflagration all over the whole world.

'Coming events cast their long shadows beforehand' they say and you have seen enough 'natural disaster' events over recent years to at least vaguely have an uneasy sense that if that saying is true, then we are in for some wild times.

As living, sentient, theoretically quite intelligent beings we have to pose the question to ourselves - is ultimate violence the ultimate solution, the 'God solution,' to the harmfulness of ordinary humans and their very very ordinary 'society?'

And what makes God vested in the simplistic and common affairs of men?

That is the question, isn't it and I think we can all afford to grow up about it now.

I think it is a very big mistake to imagine that the so-called powers that be on this Earth are any kinds of powers at all when push comes to shove.

They are mediocre, born losers, self-important, delusional - but that is also psychologically why they grasp the reins all the time. They cannot actually earn such roles and entitlements by natural endeavor and honest accomplishment in open competition with anyone.

An 'ideal' human society is nothing at all like the one in which we all temporarily reside right now today.

You absolutely know that.

Some rich dude's place where he doesn't 
have to look at the beggars in the street
and the homelessness and the drugs everywhere.
Human beings today must be all particularly'
schizophrenic about 'who' they are,
if they among the very wealthy.

Why do you need to actually see it as in the way Ezekiel was taken somewhere to see it, in order to affirm in your own mind that such is the case?

Trust me you need but think it so and there will be a mark in your forehead and it won't be the '666' one either.

Even so, trust me on this too, it is very challenging if you are used to the ways of the world, this world here, to be in, to live in, that one there - the 'ideal' one.

'Seeing' something might give you a buzz for a short time but you will end up with a lot of questions left over and resonating about what you saw.

I have done my best to refrain from using too florid language about coming events.

But they are what they are.

And you know what they are.

Not 'what they are going to be;' what they are.

The truth and the reality is that you cannot be 'wealthy' unless you have a sorted out society in which you live first. You can have material wealth but it will likely be apportioned out for the days that you must survive till the end here. 

Why are we living in the moment when we are all 'waiting' for whether or not the US will admit Ukraine is completely defeated (because it is; it has been)? Why? What else might happen to alter that reality?

Why are we on the edge of if or whether someone will send some pathogen into Moscow, or fire something at the Kremlin and then all hell breaks lose? Why have we been taken to that point at all?

IE - friends, the end is already here upon us. There is no logical alternative to the fact as a conclusion, that the rulers have taken us already to a point where it has been revealed they have never cared for the public at all and are doing things for some other reason altogether.

What makes it that there have been no other important issues or causes for political leaders and governments to focus on first, rather than the potential entire destruction of the human race through nuclear war? 

How far off was the starting point, to trying to create and establish a valuable and non-disposable human society?

If no Ezekiel, then no you, friend.

Might as well cast yourself into the abyss, if no Ezekiel - that is where they are all going, the rest of them. But yes Ezekiel.

But if Ezekiel then, then trust me, Ezekiel today is some super-advanced and very experienced guy...

Pack your bags.

In a manner of speaking.

There is a bad moon on the rise.

Both are the same music below, one is off-site, that's all -

'Lady's Delight:' 

 

Inside The Garden

One has to be more than a little bit conscious of the fact that humans spend most of their time indulging repetitious sloganism promoted by rulers. 

The 42 Laws of Maat were encoded and committed to stone monuments around 2925 BC in Egypt - and Moses supposedly was around more than fifteen hundred years later than that. 

So what makes his laws all that significant, really?

Continuing the theme of the tent.

Well, nothing.

They were not innovative, and they were certainly not unique.

In the modern Western world, which is dominated by variations of Biblical religious ideas, there are words and slogans which go along with these religious mindsets. One of these is the word 'sin.'

There is no word 'sin' in the original Bible - anywhere. It is the conflating of many different ideas, to jam the breaking of someone's laws - Moses, God's, anyone's - and the Biblical phrase to 'fall short of the standard' together; and then come up with the modern word and its peculiar idea of 'sin/sinning.'  To say nothing of the anachronistic introducing of 'God's Laws' into the Bible narrative. Genesis doesn't even say Adam and Eve broke God's commandment and then that was why they got chucked out. They got chucked out for the same reason that Cain was later then out. They were not intrinsically capable of living peaceably in there. That is all.

The concept properly being presented is one of some creature 'falling short' of what would be ideal.

The human physical material being is unstable, and cannot be sustained. That is to say, the individual and their specific physiology cannot be sustained over any actually lengthy duration of 'life;' the individual literally expires, dies at some point.

But more than that, even during the time when people are living together, they actually do things which harm themselves and each other, to the point regularly, that they kill each other. And even sometimes, they simply kill themselves.

The places of the Florentines...
Not quite tents.

So there are two crucial specific aspects that 'fall short:' one is the material inability to be sustained fully intact and alive, and the other is that of not even being able to live together at all. 

In theory, advances of human technology might see some moment when 'people' are AI-driven simulacra that can be sustained well beyond the ordinary hundred or so years of a natural human life.

But there is absolutely nothing at all which even comes close to being able to resolve the sheer lack of capability of the human being to live without friction in social groups. 

There are multiple examples of utilitarian social grouping, be it tribal, or national or some other nomenclature for the thing, but none of these are obviously driven by objectives which are not selfish or material-oriented, or political power based. The standard differences between people's faces, their physiques, and their intellects alone give rise to all sorts of jealousies and eventually, rages and then at last violence and/or mischief and cheating and deprivation of someone's rights in order to advantage someone else. These dynamic forces are of course justified by sociologists and politicians and ideologues but they are not genuinely honest arguments.

Thus, at this Easter time, it is not sufficient for the honest thinking person to simply accept there is any meaning to 'atonement (of sin) by someone's death.'

'French' onion soup was introduced
to the French by the Florentine,
Catherine de' Medici.

In the very first place because the actual word 'sin' does not exist in the source texts that are attributed to its being the cause of religious concepts about suffering and dying and whatnot.

That some specific key religious figure might have died or not is not relevant to why they should have, critical to the whole ontology of the matter in question.

If you go back to the standard nature of human beings as they obtain in the world, we can look at the case of the Olympic athlete, for instance - they will be at a particular peak of their powers and physique and determination, and achieve some apex of performance; but then, none of them go on to live unearthly endurance of life and limb anyway.

They all decline in ability and health and fitness and then they die.

From the purely materialistic point-of-view, you can only obtain some peak (or peaks) in your life and then that's all there is. Everything else becomes very weak justifications of your ambitions and your actions - 'history will remember,' and so on.

These are fantasies - fantasy beliefs.

What is not a fantasy, is to look at it this way:

As there are two specific matters to resolve in order to genuinely fix the basic flaws of the human being, there were two 'Jesus's' who rose...

Rainbow aura black Tourmaline.
Rainbows are more than just the
ones you know about.

One was a being with a material body, and the other was a being composed of light, apparently, according to the accounts.

Both of them survived death though, and that is quite key to the whole mindset of this religion - and yet it is not very evident in the practice of the religion anywhere that you will find it today.

You see, a problem about the material physical being that we are well-acquainted with (since we are one of those things) - is that did only the peak phases of the previous person survive? Was this Jesus that people were sticking their hands into the wounds of, the one that was in his best health, not under the weather with say, a cold or something...? Right at the point where the neurons in his brain were firing up the 'Beatitudes?'

What's wrong with being in the condition of say, tiredness, and not wishing to see anyone or engaging wits with them?

Is it fair to say that there are also some troughs in the human life, which are in other ways, and taken from other perspectives, also at the same, peaks? 

The Book of Ezekiel gives very clear and specific reports of flying machines and actual physical occupants of those machines - and indeed, Ezekiel himself goes for a ride in one of them.

One of his otherworldly companions says to him, almost as an aside, that humans see and do not see; are blind in a sense. They do not understand what they are seeing.

Personally, as someone who has spent a lifetime training in a Chinese martial art, I do not want to hear from some scrawny-necked ET Alien that it would prove problematic for me and my current physiology to just go for a ride in his thirty foot Tic Tac just like so! But then, what made it possible for Ezekiel to?

Did he have no short-comings? Well, he must have had sufficiently few that they let him in.

Same way they'll let you in. Now. Today.

The Sheer Inexpressible Complexity...

Getting what you seek is possible.

And yet you must see first just how complex your life as a human really is.

You might think science knows much - it knows nothing.

Doctors do not treat people's ailments - they indulge them in their preexisting obsessions and compulsive tendencies in order to make money from them. People come back to them again and again to get 'prescriptions' literally for drugs they are addicted to - organically addicted to, often dependent on, and psychologically fully enslaved by. And then by and by, those people die, but not sooner than that they had been replaced by others even more foolish than they were.

To actually examine a patient, to observe and consider their condition, takes far too long for this world today; they must be prescribed something within a defined short time that is recommended by the 'industrial doctor' mindset pharmaceutical companies who are ultimately behind all of medical and pharmacological academia.

...You might think you know things.

That you might know enough to ask for something that you conceive that you want.

As under cover of departing Day

Slunk hunger-sricken Ramazan away,

Once more within the Potter's house alone

I stood, surrounded by the Shapes of Clay.

Said one among them - "Surely not in vain

My Substance from the common Earth was ta'en,

That He who subtly wrought me into Shape

Should stamp me back to shapeless Earth again?"

*

And much as Wine has played the Infidel,

And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour - Well,

I often wonder what the Vintners buy

One-half as precious as the ware they sell.

Who could write but even one verse equal to these??

LOL 

In the Book of Yedzakhi-El (Ezekiel), it says that the King of Tyre was in the Garden of Eden.

And, that he thought himself to be a god, because he sat on the throne of a god, in a palatial island in the midst of the seas...

These are not carpets. These are the walls
of tents - al khayamiya.
Look it up if you don't believe me. 

Tyre and Sidon (Ancient Phoenicia) are Atlantis.

Atlantis was the property of the children of a god, whom Plato related that the Egyptian priests who kept the ancient records about, said had lost their sense of Justice and Honour, and were concerned only with themselves and their great power, and filled with hubris and arrogance resulting from their material success.

And as we consider the basis of the 'Garden of Eden,' it is important to explain what the exact meaning is concerning the seven-fold mark of Cain too -, after he committed that murder against his own younger brother. It means that the human being can and regularly will extract seven times the retribution against the commission of merely one act against them.

Thus, it is not possible to force a result against a human, or against a whole group of them, using simple violence.

Of course you would suppose it was not possible to bomb a person seven times more than the one nuclear bomb they had dropped first.

Those humans who are primarily committed to power and material gain above all other things - clearly, as in the story or Cain's murdering of his brother Abel; even above a Supreme Being that Cain, the human, was directly conversant with - use violence for material gain and for power. 

But it does not say in the Holy Scriptures anywhere, that those who place the instructions of the Living Deity first shall not have material gain. Far from it.

Humans are adorned
as Oriental tents...

It is in order to prevent the unworthy from entering back into the Garden, that the folklore about poverty among the good is allowed to persist.

The 'tent-maker' that was quite a well-known figure back in the Sixties, when people still possessed some culture and learning and were starting to drift into the world of drugs and also the exotic, and typically, the Orientalist vogue - was not someone who (as you might imagine) 'made tents...'

At least certainly not of the kind you will buy from your Outdoors place today.

'Seek You first, the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.' 

All. And more.

The Kingdom of God is an Eternal Place, where there can be no competing for position, since every position is ordered by its specific purpose in All Eternity.

You cannot throw these precious things before the problematic whose constitution (within) is mixed up and broken, and who thus cannot remain fully formed and firmly-minded in their ideas.

But neither can you think that there is never any intervention by the gods upon men, and upon the evil that men do.

The King of Tyre was pulled down and his kingdom utterly destroyed.

And it was, no more.

It perished utterly.

This is the Khamsin - a hot wind
that blows with great speed
from the desert.

The modern human race does not proceed from any idea or belief of actual kinship with actual real 'gods,' whether of divine source or merely some superior advanced race from some distant galaxy far away.

But the spirit of the King of Tyre manifestly remains. He is here. He is very much here. He wholly rejects any other power above him and he claims to be above all else. 

You will will live to watch him brought low and destroyed forever.

Right here on this Earth - which is where he claims his territory.

He is a (very) strong man in his house.

And it requires a much stronger man to bind him.

He has enormous numbers of armed troops and countless followers. They bow to him every day and worship his laws and his edicts and they carry out his orders, even if it means the violent assaulting of other men (and women and children too).

He is not a human being. 

For 'he was in the Garden of Eden;' when Adam was yet even to be formed...

Thus you cannot act against him as you would against another human being. For he is not a human being at all.

  

'Oph' And 'Oth'

In the ancient Hebrew language, there are certain words which are quite commonly translated today - and they are mistranslated but one cause of this could simply be that in more modern times we are more cognizant of 'onomatopoeia' than of the kinds of visual mimicry in script components which were the basics of writing in the ancient past.

The Greek Oroboros - the Cosmic Serpent that eats itself - is another ancient word that is hardly formed from some sound which echoes its sense. Nobody (on Earth at least if even anywhere for that matter) has heard what particular sound such a thing is making! 

The word of course is made using the 'o' letter after the circular shape of the imagined creature.

In the mind-blowing new text here: https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/1043596/chapters/1?preview=true - you will encounter some new ideas never explained previously anywhere in recent times and which might challenge a few people.

PREDICTIVE FINANCIAL AI

However, in short, we need to just consider that the Book of Enoch might simply be using (and by the way, there is grammar in there, or diacritics; just a lot of nouns and verbs and some pronouns and that's about it. It's difficult to place all of these words into a complete meaningful sentence very often... Translators have done but they made it all up as to how things really should be formulated) - might simply be using letter shapes to convey ideas:

'Oth' means a rainbow in Hebrew. And 'Oph' means arched around or arced like part of a wheel.

It has eyes all around the front of its face
and wheels, wheels which go 
round and round - very fast.

You will realize when you have read the linked text what this is all referring to.

But anyway, the 'Ophanim' might not be wheels.

The line from the Book of Enoch simply says 'they have eyes that are penetrating (see in all directions) and are arced all around the rim of the brow of their face.' Not - 'they have eyes looking in every direction all the way around a wheel!' lol

And sure, R2D2 is on wheels, but that's a Hollywood movie after all. And there is no reason they know things any better than anyone else who does not have actual direct accurate knowledge.

Living in the human Earth situation, we tend to be only vaguely conscious that the biological organism that is our dynamically-growing bodies, is slowly transporting chemicals and molecules from nutrition and the metabolism all the time, with the effect that our physical bodies are changing quite a lot all the time; except that it is over enough length of time for our perceptions to pass over noting these changes too much.

The magazine imagery industry in particular is constantly shaping the popular culture's ideas about what beauty is or should look like - and that is because it is so dependent upon still pictures/photographs of people.

Perry, dressing to take the attention
of Dylan Meyer away from...
lol

The fact is, 'people' - a person - is a continuously changing molecular composition around a set of 'image instructions.' There is no 'one single image' of any single person that necessarily means that no other visually slightly different version of them is 'not them.' 'They' are in any case, something other than the outward image.

I would personally say though, that 'they' are something in addition to, rather than actually completely different from...

The mythological angels who descended in Babylon and 'taught humans the arts of cosmetics' and various other 'bad things(!)' have at least imparted to the human cultural view of attractiveness, an idea that there is transportability to the person and also that the inner personality can express itself (that is, literally show itself) by projecting thoughts and ideas and preferences onto completely external, outside, defined inanimate things.

The Bible says 'the hairs on your head are numbered.' But that is only an accessible way to talk about how exactly mathematically enumerated and controlled and organised things are.

There's too much pop fantasy about people like Tesla and others who opined that the Universe is made up of number/s and maths. That is true to an extent but it is much much more than that.

Just step through the 
doorway one time.

There is technology somewhere... ...that can recombine your atoms and molecules so that you are 'there' as a nine-year old, or, just as easily - just as easily - as a fifty-year old.

It's time to stop thinking in too simplistic terms about all of these things.

You take a walk into any large city, into any place where there are a lot of re-combinations of atoms and molecules, and you will soon enough realize that suddenly just 'appearing' in a rainbow ship from Arcturus or wherever is not such a good idea.

At least not in broad daylight in the full glare of the Earth general masses of people and the media.

Against My Better Judgement, But...

The biggest problem with talking about things too specifically when it comes to money and finance and 'investment' matters, is that many even most, people lose control of their emotions - and then they start to build desires for things that are quite pointless to chase in most ordinary circumstances.

Either - as they say in the stockbroker classics - 'the train has already left the station,' or 'you are trying to catch sharp knives with bare hands,' or, in practical ways it is difficult to maintain profitability across distant borders.

Vaguely pointless, though
nonetheless colorful pic
of something extremely expensive
that you don't have to lose sleep
over funding any time
real soon.
Right? Right??

So what I want you to know is that what really makes us money - or will do in very effective ways over the much longer term - is nothing that you are about to see in a visual form right now. But I will post some pics of something, something quite silly and low-level it might seem...

The problem that will loom in that longer run over the significant matters for all of you who became financially involved, is that that body of knowledge itself will eventually find some entry into the wider social consciousness and public mind, with the usual result in these cases of people taking 'control' over it as another form of Esoterica with all of the hierarchy and gate-keeping and all of that.

It's easy to get away with contacting actual real ET Aliens - if you did that very privately and that was the end of the matter. Things take a different turn though, when you have some material substance of a financial kind to pass on to succeeding generations - that is entailed in the whole thing.

Where you will really see this start to take shape is in something that is nearing completion and will be talked about soon here.

But for now, and very much against my own better judgement, it is well passed the time that I gave some slight indication that there is a little pile of funny Australian two dollar coins here...

These have been finding absolutely ludicrous prices in the open market recently and look very much like they will maintain that trajectory for a long time to come.

Ostensibly they were and are still, minted as circulation money, except some of them were minted in pretty low numbers relative to the others in various years - and these low mintage coins are skyrocketing in value.

Also colorful. 
Please don't lust after these silly things.

It is simply a fact that, for instance, the 2012 Red Poppy 2 dollar coin was available over the counter at some banks and most Australia Post Offices - for 2 dollars in 2012/2013.

Well they range in prices paid right now from $150 for even the lowest graded or ungraded circulated examples - to upwards of $500 for good examples.

And that's a big jump in value by percentages.

500 of them at the start, for $1000, had you been bright enough to pick up on the potential - would have made you a quarter of a million dollars.

The reality is that there is nothing stopping the Australian Treasury from doing this kind of thing again in the future with another one of these particular coin denominations ($2) - and they will use the 'template success' denomination because it is obvious and logical. They will do it.

We are still a long way off over here (means us here, not Australian Federal Treasury! lol) from having the optimum team of administrators who can organize a basic self-audit report each E-O-Y in a timely way. But that will happen for no other reason than that is the current trajectory of the value increases in our holdings linked to these 'Silver Digital Dirhams' and it will allow it to happen and be very easily funded.

Do we hold actual physical silver? Oh yes we do - as well.

So, what you have here is a practical instance of Douglas Casey's esteemed 'rotational trading across unconnected but related commodities:' Gold, Silver and say Platinum (except it isn't Platinum that we are using as the third price wave signal); plus some peculiar side bets to do with these Australian 'collectible' coins; plus a percentage of the revenues from the digital text sales (Amazon/Kindle); plus something else that it is premature to talk about yet although everyone in the world of investing knows what time it is...

But...

I don't want to talk about money!

Nothing here is really liquid right now anyway... lol (It is but stop thinking of it that way! Yet. There will come a moment and quite soon for that kind of thinking and drooling).

'Rotational Trading?' 

That just means you sell the particular precious metal that is high on its curve compared to when you bought it, and spend that dollar return buying whichever one or ones are 'low' on their putative forward curves. Over a lot of time, or over a lot of volatility (and it is better that that happens because you make money quicker), your physical holdings don't diminish in value or volume but you still earn a trading overrun in dollar terms (which is your profit and you can even look at it as the 'carry interest' on your holdings of precious metals).

While you might think that say gold and silver always move in strict tandem, they actually don't. There is regularly a strong lag in ratio terms. Which is why the rotational trading technique works. But, underpinned by a separate revenue stream, the whole thing then really does make a lot sense and does work over time.

As far as numismatic coins go, it is impractical in usual circumstances to try and buy coins from faraway places and then seek to trade them back in those places where the viable demand exists - the transport costs and risks are just too great.

These things are simply trinkets, they are not ways to guarantee anyone early retirement.

But yeah we'll mess with trinkets too when it makes sense.

There's probably similar kinds of opportunities around you right where you are physically located.

The peculiarity of the Australian market conditions over recent years is that there has been this massive involvement with the China market and the demand pool from over there. Those people come here because they buy commodities from here, and they spend money here directly buying local stuff that is not commodity stuff - coins, wine, shoes, wool, food. Stuff.

And so the price leaps have been exaggerated.

But it is not an inflationary pricing force.

Here - turn your head to more important matters:
