Nothing new about "inflate or die". There are no more Volckers. CB gold intervention? Again, not new.

I don't worry much about gold unless it skyrockets or plummets. Individual natural resource stocks do quite well. And given the coming rate cuts, probably even better.

Now, the investment banks move into China's financial world is huge. You have mentioned it before, though not yet in detail.

Privatization of SSec didn't happen with a Republican Congress. You're dreaming if you think it'll happen with a Democratic Congress.

There's no getting around increasing consumer debt loads, housing ATM's disappearing (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana had no housing bubble, yet RE is tanking anyway) and consumer spending slowing ever more. On the side of the coin, as you noted, a good bit of US corporate business is now overseas. Gobally is where the growth is. On the homefront, things are not so good. The disparity between haves and have nots is very likely to increase even more.
