TECHNOLOGY: Chase sucks

Saturday, November 10, 2007

http://www.chase.com

Just wasted a half hour of my life with Chase. I pay my Mom’s bills. Been doing it for awhile. Today, I go to logon and the account is suspended. Huh? Worked last week. They tell me that “the account is set up wrong” and it will be fixed on Wednesday. Huh? Argh! What changed? What a bunch of bozos. Doesn’t inspire confidence.

LINKEDIN: “Liveliness”

Saturday, November 10, 2007

At the end of the first week: (for all contacts older than one month)

%Dead 0.0720
%Unresponding 0.6490
%MyEmployer 0.0719
%HeadHunters 0.0182

# – # – #

My original focus was on “breakage”. But at a little more than 5%, that’s not terrible. I am attempting to “reach around” the break. That’s how I describe sending an InMail directly to a contact of the “broken contact”.

Since my first email only induced about 30% to respond, I’ll have to figure out a better approach.

Sigh. Always more to do!

GOLDBUG: gold will possibly never go below $700

Gold as an Alternative Investment
Nov 7, 07

***Begin Quote***

Gold has had a great run lately. As I indicated in one of my previous blogs, if you look at the long term monthly close chart of gold, $700 provides a major resistance, because gold had never stayed above $700 for over a month in its entire history, neither in 1980 nor in 2006, until now. This is the main reason why it had taken over a year to overcome it, and the reason of the current explosive upward movement. Now we have expanded the chart upward beyond the $700 line into the new uncharted territory, I feel that gold will possibly never go below $700 again.

***End Quote***

Uncharted territory. So what is the upside? 2500/oz with a US$ collapse.
