Re: North Korea

Kim Jong Il can not stand the status quo. His country is starving and he is dying and he probably isn't very happy with whoever is next. When people are dying they tend to think of their legacy. His won't be good as it stands now. He needs there to be a war or a significant change in relationship wi...

Re: North Korea

No worries. I'm sure President Obama will call for restraint from all parties and engage the North Korea's in meaningful and productive negotiation. But wait, Iran is sailing into international waters, and Israel is snubbing their political noses at the USA at the very same time as North Korea's tes...

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies

silver2008 - Do you think the fed could/would engage in "quantitative easing" (creating money) to such an extent that the dollars held by the good and hardworking men and women of this country no longer have any value? It would be a way for the fed to steal the wealth of the nation an use it to pay ...

Re: Chartists Forum

Over on urbansurvival.com the wacky George Ure gives chartist chatter a nod and says that we are in a classic Elliot wave pattern, which predicts the market will rise to 9200 or so then drop rapidly to 5800. I think that the market went up yesterday because there are a lot of chartists out there and...

Thailand protests - will they escalate

I am watching the protests in Thailand and I am wondering if Thailand is not primed for a revolution. There has not been a crisis war since world war 2 in Thailand and no living person remembers the horrors of that anymore. Consequently I think it is pretty likely that this situation could escalate ...

Will Israel attack Iran

I read this article claiming that an attack is likely in the works before the transfer of power (in both countries) http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=81971 What does Generational Dynamics have to say about this. Isreal's last Crisis was the Arab-Israeli War -- 1947-1949 whic...

Re: Inflation, deflation, gold and currencies

Today's GD blog post was quite an angry and depressed rant, but I think factually it is correct, which makes me angry and depressed. I actually am rooting for deflation over inflation since that would preserve at least the value of the cash I have socked away. I know it means I'll loose my pension a...

Re: Where is the Dow heading?

I'm sitting on a bunch of cash (real green dollars in a safe) and stuff I hope is kina of like cash in my 401K and that has worked out well so far. Is there a better position that I could be in? Is it getting close to the time that commodities keep up with or outpace inflation. How will we know when...
