Be sure to watch the dollar ([Kimble chart](http://blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/eurounderpressureoct8.gif)) for the price direction in risk assets. The Industrial Conclusion? [Chess](http://ibankcoin.com/chessnwine/2012/10/08/the-industrial-conclusion/)

The Brics have taken an unhappy turn at [FT Times](http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/af6e8b08-1136-11e2-8d5f-00144feabdc0.html#axzz28oSUMk9K) (free registration required).

IMF Sees ‘Alarmingly High’ Risk of Deeper Global Slump at [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-08/imf-sees-alarmingly-high-risk-of-deeper-global-slump.html).

A little research I stumbled upon: [Canaccord Wealth Management](https://research.canaccordgenuity.com/_layouts/researchnoteviewer.aspx?pubid=82892).

Gold, oil, bond and S&P 500 charts: [Black Swan Trading](http://blackswantrading.squarespace.com/storage/currency-currents/100512_bscc_chartview.pdf).

In thinking about relatively conservative hard asset income investing, *ISA* stumbled upon [Timber REITs Prove To Be A Very Safe Bet](http://seekingalpha.com/article/908161-timber-reits-prove-to-be-a-very-safe-bet?source=email_investing_income&ifp=0). The [investors page](http://www.plumcreek.com/Investors/tabid/59/Default.aspx) and long term [chart](http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=PCL+Basic+Chart&t=my) are worthwhile too. The valuation is not particularly enticing, but it is a hard asset in a zero interest rate world. I thought my dad would be interested.
