edelmetallmesse 2019 (gold silver show - munich)

this year's gold, silver and natural resources show / convention in munich is over ... let's look foward to 2020 :-)

as every year, there were many familiar faces, gold bugs, libertarians, conspiracy theorists, friends, bullion dealers so all the folks could buy physical gold + silver, analysts, fund managers, mining companies, newsletter writers, book sellers, speakers & co.

the following picture represents the financial markets at least since 2008 so well, if you asked me 😄

the central banks and especially the FED decide in which direction are the markets heading, isn't it? but probably not for ever ~ by markus blaschzok (blaschzok research, solit)

i've listened to many lectures on both days of this convention, my favorites were markus miller, markus blaschzok, gianni kovacevic, frank hellmeyer and peter denk.

so let show you few pictures and write my insights in between 😏

the crowd waiting for the MVG public transportation museum to open its doors

friedrich & weik, the crash prophets

is the brexit good for great britain in the long run? (friedrich lange, oxford club)

with christine lagarde as head of ECB stays the zero interest rate and the financial manipulation on the agenda

walking through munich ~ münchen

our children motivated us to visit a couch shop with an interesting concept in the eastern part of the city (münchen ost), in the so called creative district 'werksviertel'. even if the east railway station (ostbahnhof) area is not known as a nice part of munich, i like it somehow because here was my first 'real' stay in munich, in a refugee camp in the gammelsdorfer str. more than 31 years ago ... i would not call the waiting room in the central railway station (hauptbahnhof / HBf) my 'real' home for the first 3 weeks in germany, would you?

i haven't here been walking here at ostbahnhof for years and yes, the area changed dramatically. you wouldn't believe it, it changed for better 😄.
of course, we enjoyed the possibility to see the history of the areal from pfanni's dumplings factory to a creative district /// pfanni werk 1949 => kunstpark ost 1996 => kultfabrik 2003 => werksviertel 2012.

well, when i've already written a blog about münchen-ost, let's add few pictures from munich / munchen i've made the last few weeks, too ...

fountain close to müllersches volksbad. btw, the volksbad bath was the place i could wash/bath once a week as our refugee camp had no showers (for about 200 people). crazy, isn't it?
