(cut)
: but first, our assumptions: 1) navies put to sea when they
: expect severe weather;
(cut)
: 3) navies do *not* put to sea en masse for war, especially
: nuclear war (think about it, easy to find, and a few large
: nukes un voila, no collateral damage other than fishes, and
: no more navy);

: 4) the Fed forcing money into the system has a short term,
: limited effect, likely on the order of less than 2 months
: cycle time (money velocity through the system);
