Re: Financial topics
I don't know...the more I do the math (realizing the dollar as the world currency-meaning all these positions are tied up with dollars) I see the dollar (ST TReasuries) as the only thing left "to fight" with. I mean I own gold but the gold market is puny in comparison. Personally, I am a holder of S...

Re: Financial topics
People criticize me for saying that these "experts" are morons, but I just can't think of a better description. Sincerely, John Now that was funny! I mean I have to agree....I remember the calls for trillion dollar market caps...The same experts now call a 40% erosion of the world's assets inflatio...

Re: Financial topics
I think it has a long way to go as well...This economic contraction
globally is already bigger than the 1890's or 1930's as measured by
asset losses as a percentage of GDP. This is the biggest economic

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies
My reason for owning gold isn't in hopes of a tanking US Dollar.... I have a different reason for holding gold... I see gold simply as a system or SHTF hedge. If that ever came to be, yes we may be in an inflationary period. I do not see the US Dollar going away any time soon, but I realize there is...

Re: Defensive Interpretation on GD?
It still seems like for now we are losing more than we are creating and the net points to deflation. Dollars are disappearing faster than they are being put into the system and so the dollar rises.
