Summary: ESSENTIAL MATTERS
The Daily Reckoning sneaked into philosophical discussion over the last two weeks, dear reader - like a teenager who takes up smoking. We sputtered and coughed out existentialism, relativism and descriptivism. But just talking about them made us feel cool..................

Summary: The House of Morgan
From south of the Rio Plata comes more evidence that Central Bankers - like other bankers - will only give you money when you don't really need it. "Every day, about 1,000 Argentines like Gauto stand in line to sell anything from cameras to violins to ivory chess sets at Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the only government-owned pawn shop in the capital," reports a Bloomberg article.

Summary: Animal Story From Tandil, Argentina, comes an arresting story. A man walked into a bank armed with a hand-grenade. He meant to leave the bank with more money than he entered with. In that sense, he was no different from any other man pulling a bank job. In fact, he could have been any one of us, couldn't he? Who hasn't tried to rob a bank at least once in his life? What made him unusual - and of interest to us here at the Daily Reckoning - was that the money with which he intended to leave was his own. Such is the state of things on the pampas that bank depositors are forced to resort to extreme and controversial methods to make withdrawals. That is what happens in a real slump, dear reader: Forget about making a profit on your money...you're lucky if you can just get it back.

Current evidence indicates that farm net worth will grow by about $17 billion in 2002.

ANNO 2001, R.I.P. by Bill Bonner. Forgive me for getting personal, dear reader, but how did you do last year? If you did badly, financially, you can't blame it entirely on us. Each year, with the enthusiasm of a man going for his annual checkup, we look back at our predictions from the preceding January. We doubt that we are going to enjoy the experience and are a little worried about what we might discover........
