Obviously, this won&#39;t at the core be about stock picking; but subjects for discussion I am considering include items such as this: given the business cycle and fractional reserve banking should an Austrian attempt to minimize their cash balances that are in basic banking accounts and if so, where should they store such balances (gold has high transaction costs to exchange for the currency, for example) Hopefully this will be a productive task both from a personal and academic perspective, I look forward to talking with any readers who find the material and questions as interesting as I do.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://mises.org/Community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=690" width="1" height="1">
