Bill,
Please do take care of your health.
Take ample rest.

Posted by: Sandy at January 13, 2007 10:36 AM [link]

Get well soon!

Bill,
Take good care of yourself.
Best Regards.

Get well, Bill. Readers will not be the lesser if you take care of your health ahead of the WIR. And besides, there is already a wealth of your earlier writing this week still to digest.

Posted by: number2son at January 13, 2007 2:04 PM [link]

Bill

Take a much deserved rest and get well soon!

Posted by: DollarBill at January 13, 2007 2:34 PM [link]

ALOHA !!

Above all Bill take care of yourself !!!

Just what you have posted so far on WIR#2 is more than you get at 90% of other free blogs!

Take care sir !!!

My wife found a $20 Canadian bill inside a new wallet in the ladies department at a store today. Where can she convert it to USD?

Posted by: stktrader at January 13, 2007 6:21 PM [link]

Everyone will miss your WIR, but everyone feels even more strongly that if you're sick, we'd rather that you kick back, rest -- and forget about us.

Although we won't forget about you.

Posted by: GemmaStar at January 13, 2007 6:30 PM [link]

Bill
Please direct your (extraordinary) energies toward yourself, for once.
I can't believe you said you were taking a break and then still put up the raw data that you did.
By now I think most of us can work with that on our own, thanks to your guidance, so why not give us all a chance to try...and yourself a well deserved break?
Bless you, Bill.

Posted by: Rigdon at January 13, 2007 6:43 PM [link]

Get well soon Bill. We Bull already miss you. ;-)

Cheers.

Bill, I came down with pneumonia in the fall, water is the fluid of life.
Love, is what makes us get up each morning, get your sleep, the world will keep turning.

Thanks for your wisdom.

Posted by: droid at January 14, 2007 3:47 AM [link]

Have some rest, Bill: You deserve it, even if I miss you and your WIR. But we have your encyclopedia (=your site!)! And now, my fellows, let's try to think with our minds and with what Bill is trying hard to teach us. Thanks again Bill!
The amount of derivatives is so big, that I really wonder how long it can last. I suppose since some big Asian countries joined our Western way of managing money, the system will hold some time more. But soon, we will need another planet to export our paper money and our (derivative) contracts, and the inflation we keep on making to let the game go on. Check this in awe: http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/dollar_liquidity_pyramid
Maybe it's time to put gold and raw materials under my mattress, but if it's too early, I'm afraid that I'll starve while the rich 0,1% earth's population will keep on getting richer, making everyone else poor(er). We say and see that historical cycles repeat, but I really have some problems in finding a comparison with the past considering our flat world (globalization) and the electronic fake money (derivative) we have. And you?

Posted by: Lelik at January 14, 2007 6:39 AM [link]

Good health to you Bill. Please rest. And thanks for providing the weekly updated information on the sectors you and we follow.

I think Rig has it right in his message above-"most of us can work with that on our own, thanks to your guidance."

Bill is a teacher and I think he'd appreciate his "students" doing exactly that. Remember some of the other references, including Collin Twiggs, who notes momentum slowing and divergences on the Dow and S&P this week.

Also M3 CONTINUES to increase--Bernake printing on full bore.

http://www.nowandfutures.com/key_stats.html

Reference Lelik's post on derivatives, I'm reading When Genius Failed by Roger Lowenstein this weekend. Seeing how LTCM collapsed and the markets reaction, this could happen again some day--NOT a pretty picture.

Although other markets incl. Canada are open Monday (I think), U. S. markets won't open until Tuesday due to the MLK holiday. Bill, rest and we'll look forward to hearing from you later in the week.

Bill if you have cold like symptoms...it is good to SWEAT

my suggestion is heat red wine with cinnamin sticks and lots of black pepper (it really works)

drink a good glass (10oz) while its hot get into bed with lots of blankets on you and try and sleep.(be prepared to change the wet damp sheets when you awake ...shower and get back into bed.

this works amazingly well to speed up your recovery

best to you and all your polite readers SR
