Formerly 'The Brave New World', my blog has a new name, 'Morning JAVA'. Practically all of my posts are written and published in the morning, as I sip coffee. I'll write on a wide range of topics but mostly tend to focus on precious metals, finance and the state of the economy. I'll often touch on the WOO as I'm a big fan of Clif High's work. If you enjoy a good read and a good coffee, this blog is for you. Thanks for your support.
