9:00 Chiropractor.

Read WSJ: Platinum at $625/oz. Sold it in late '84 just under $300. And it went to $245 by mid 85, and was around $550 in February, of this year. So its way up. But as I stated in June '85 loss report, I don't own precious metals as investment. I own them to possess. So just buy them periodically.

10:15 Call Schwab about old acct. Still exists. Decide to wait till I have a budget before I buy more prec metals but sell MS stock ASAP and buy cheap bonds, to rebalance proportions of my liq. assets.
