Re: Financial topics
If so (and I find this extremely unlikely, it's never happened and I don't think it will this time) then the US dollar would be the place to be. The US has the largest gold reserves of any government on Earth.
If you like, compare the market basket currencies to a poker game. Uncle Sam keeps passing markers, because he gets to be the house dealer. So the other players get pissed, and they call for cover. Sammy pulls out a 90 ton gold slug and says "match it or fold". So they fold, and who wins?
That game was rigged before you were born, by a couple guys named Roosevelt and Nixon.

America has had hyperinflation twice already. During the Revolutionary War they ended up saying, "not worth a Continental". And the Confederate currency also had hyperinflation. Many other countries have had hyperinflation, some several times.OLD1953 wrote:If so (and I find this extremely unlikely, it's never happened and I don't think it will this time) then the US dollar would be the place to be.

There are around $15 trillion US dollars and growing fast. With 8000 tons the US has about 250 million oz of gold. This has not been audited in 50 years and there is some chance it was loaned out to companies that went bankrupt. But assuming it is all there, if you share that among all dollar holders it works out to 1 oz of gold for every $60,000 you have. But today you can buy gold for $1200 per oz. So if you want to wait till the US shares out the worlds largest gold reserve, go ahead, but it seems better to convert now.

John and Mish are the two deflationists I follow and highly respect. Today Mish talked about problems with the different currencies and concluded his article with, "The essence of the matter is there is really nowhere to hide, except gold." So John, any softening on your views on gold?

Consumer Metrics and the Resumption of the Secular Bear
Take a look at Consumer Metrics Index at
http://www.consumerindexes.com/ It is now showing a drop of 5% year-over-year after having been around 2% for several months. Their data predicts a GDP of around 0% for Q2 and negative 2% for Q3. They predicted a 2.5% GDP for Q1 so were a little low but they have the trend right. All the other economic data I see backs this up and fits in perfectly with my prediction last year that we would hit 11,000 on the Dow before resuming the bear market. Hold on, it could get interesting.
PS - Here is my post from September of last year about going to 11,000 on the Dow: http://generationaldynamics.com/forum/v ... 4193#p4193

How do you know was asked at work today? To preserve the cup half full for the topic of context I maintain the answer how can you not know? The events over time have fully disconnected the three groups that have been alluded to. To review they are those who can, those who cannot, and as we watch the march of those who will not ever get it spread to the logical conclusion. Tools, Fools, and Choice all have unsustainable Trajectory's
Homo Economicus is being thrown out of Monetary Eden, a place of previously lush and lazy living on the cheap.

I know this must be getting tiring and I'm sure many of you hate me by now, but I've discovered something really exciting, truly mindblowing. I've found a forecaster with a longer track record and a more accurate batting average than John. I've reviewed his predictions, and I can say without a doubt he is uncannily accurate. He has made some mistakes, but who's perfect? His name is Gerald Celente. I find some of his predictions incredibly prescient, completely unexpected. Look how early he was with "too big to fail."

Re: Financial topics
No we are not, at least me that is. Some have watched this link for decades also. The only point is the assertion of economic law that always assert it self.
The order of operation may differ but the outcome is a certitude and if we like it or not the Consumer will decide. The moral of the true story If you are among the 150 million who are saving little or nothing for retirement, now would be a good time to do so. If you are among those who aren't worried about health-care costs, inflation or maintaining a standard of living in retirement, now would be a good time to start worrying.

The State is distinguished from all other institutions in society in two ways:
1.it and it alone can interfere by the use of violence with actual or potential market exchanges of other people; and
2.it and it alone obtains its revenues by a compulsory levy, backed by violence. No other individual or group can legally act in these ways.
Meanwhile, I make a choice to save to invest in what atmospere that neither the left or right can think about me or clearly for that matter?

You're forgetting (ignoring) that this site's author is basing his "predictions" on generational dynamics and his discussions are based on his theory. Celente makes his predictions based on trends and geopolitical analysis. John is showing how trends develop,mature and coalesce. Celente's trend predictions, while he may or may not realize it, are loosely based on GD as GD is what drives trends.
