then you will be surprised by the USDdollar decline and the rise of gold gold is real money, and the shit in your wallet is not
extended credit has been confused with wealth legal tender has been confused with money
you sound like a true zealot from the DeMonetized camp for gold your comment about baubles is moronic or humorous, unsure sad, very politically correct
your optimism in the USDollar might not jibe with the Twin Towers
federal deficit rising fast to fight recession, extended unemployment, widening public assistance, debt collapse counter measures, stock weakness, security measures, new burokracies, expansion of war efforts
trade gap widening, unresponsive to lower dollar, as foreign economies weaken worse than ours, and realization dawns of people that US products contain a plethora of imported parts
beware that every single Kondratieff Winter has decimated the world monetary standard the deflationary from debt collapse feeds upon itself each failure breeds the next failure Enron was to be the last, until WorldCom, KMart, GlobalXing
the dollar decline feeds upon itself also each rachet down leads to the next the 10% lower dollar has come with rising trade gaps all summer long
get a ringside seat NewZealand might benefit heck, in a few years, I might move next door to you but the US economy, banking, and currency are in deep trouble and your head is firmly either in the sand, or reminiscing of days gone by
good luck to you I will need you to purchase my gold shares in a couple years you will be there to buy you are typical of many intelligent people who miss the early stages of a major bull run each busted bubble ushers in a totally new sector leader
just what do you think that leader is? cell phones? not hardly, Bruce tech? get real, been there, done that banks? right, check the foreclosures and defaults retail? wait until the recession hits chips? uh-huh
monetary and banking crises are right around the corner when USTrez market is rocked, you will only then become a believer
