i remember that french currency deal in the mid ’60s  i was riding my little peugeot 49cc motorbiike around paris, and when i needed to fill it up, i would tell the attendant “mille francs” (1000 old francs) and hand over a ten (new) franc note.  either way, it was about two bucks worth of gas. the bike was a lot like a mo-ped, a lot of fun, but performance? not so much.  it got me back and forth to classes.

i was back in the early ’90s and they had dropped the “NF” (new franc) notation from the bills.

Glad to hear you made it through all right.  Easy does it and steady as she goes; that’s a lot to recover from.

I don’t think most Americans including self are used to seeing 10K notes or value or money in Columbia.
If they took the Mil off without the three zeros if Mil means 1000
wouldn’t that be confusing? Either having both was confusing or kids these days can’t count.

These two bills are identical in value .
Can you spot the difference between new (top) and old ( bottom )

I saw something similar in France , back in the early 1960’s .
There were Francs , and New Francs (NF) with fewer zeros .
Here , the zeros are still there , but written (Mil) instead of displayed .
I am sure that soon , the Mil will be dropped from the designation .

Good to see you back online with us .

Glad your okay. Thanks for checking in. Good heart healthy food, rest and keep passive range of motion up.

Welcome Home!  Looking forward to see you active posting again.

Hey good to see you!

as I recoup from 3 x bypass open heart   surgery  ..

I was about 19 and bought it from a friend. Don’t remember what mileage it had on it. I do remember people would turn back the mileage on cars.. crooks.. along with teens practicing or taking one for a joy ride.
Yea it’s too late cuz nothing much changed. You I and other bought American once till it was gone.

The point being that you would normally be quite correct based on prior Fed Gold action. Something quite unusual is going on here, imho.

Im always happy to be wrong about the upside direction of pm’s.

Today is a bit surprising, tomorrow is a new day, and then Friday is unemployment report day. So we’ll see what happens.

green again after slapdown  🙂

cepting doesn’t seem like that much of a hit as yet. If that’s all that the Boyzs got then maybe the Bears are in trouble. Strangest ICL attempt that I can recall going all the way back to 2011. September went as it should but all of October $Gold has been locked into a sideways range. Takes an extremely strong Gold market to resist the strong pull of an ICL. The most positive forecasts that I had seen were down in the 1450/1440 range. So far we have gotten off very easy, IMO.

Here comes the real hit.

Data-Dependent Fed Cuts Rates, Drops “Act As Appropriate” Pledge Going Forward

As expected, and priced in, The Fed cut rates 25bps and shifted the wording in the statement to a more hawkish stance…

The ’57 Chevy is like a tank. Heavy guage high quality steel. Odss favor you bought the Chevy USED, and the clock was turned back a few times between owners, and you got it with 250,000 miles on it. When it showed 50,000, and naturally the suspension was shot, and only God knows what was done to the car.

My friends salesman father traded in a 1960 Olds with 80,000 on in. One night four of us cruising on the main drag spotted the car in the front row. We had lots of memories with that car. We used to borrow it. So we stopped to look at it. salesman comes out thinking we are interested.

He opens the door, one of the guys gets in and sees only 3 miles on the odometer, and comments to the salesman, what the hell is this??? This car has 80,000k miles on it?? Salesman says they rebuilt the whole car. Yeah right. 🙂 🙂

All the Americans that I know that complained about US cars, NEVER bought a new one themselves. So they had to be high mileage cars and needed complains. Then they buy a NEW import with zero miles and brag how happy they are.

I myself DETEST imported cars. I don’t care how great they are. Too much of a negative trade off for our country. The proof is all around us. If they are twice as good, they should cost TWICE as much. If they DON’T?? Then its not fair and they are subsidized in various ways. Currency and foreign car maker has cheaper labor and no medical insurance costs for workers.

Look, nothing matters anymore. Its too late. Bon apatite everybody load up on more imports. The damage has been done. We can’t fall off the floor. 🙂 I may even buy one some day. 🙂

One of my first cars a 57 Chevy everyone was trying to buy from me those American cars didn’t seem to handle as well as the foreign cars either. The Chevy sterling would shake if I went past 50 mph on a turn. I suppose your not supposed to be going that fast but those were the times.
In LA I was following a big truck and the ass turned at the last minute because a car broke down on the fwy at night not giving me much time to react when he pulled out at the last second and there it was. To make it worse not only had to swerve around the car but two people a man and woman who stepped in the next lane over because that truck got so close so had to jump two lanes in a second or hit them. I had bought a German car and handled well next to the cement on the side of the FWy off the lane they were in. That truck took off going a 90 mph.
Where’s a cop when you need them.
If I was still in the Chevy I don’t think it would of handled that well although they have improved since then.

I had a Ford Econo for camping and it didn’t have stabilizers and in wind they were hard to manage on the Fwy plus when passing big trucks it would pull it toward the truck. Maybe I should of drive close behind them and saved gas just let it pull me lol
Yeah I do agree about the sheet metal and now fiber glass.
