Hey Coug,

I have been reading your thread and with your post had to jump in.

I have been listening to Jim Puplava's saturday internet show for about 6 months now. Last Saturdays show was devoted entirely to the gold show in San Francisco last weekend. He interviews some reps from majors and juniors in the gold industry. And some exploration firms as well. I find his take on the gold market to be prescient and logical.

Listen here: financialsense.com

His website: financialsense.com

I listened to all 4 shows in one sitting on Saturday. I do not necessarily agree with his timing but believe he understands the current status of our economy and agree with him that we are perhaps heading into a economic "perfect storm".

I agree with you that deciding what to do with investing now is fraught with traps.

I-Bonds which are inflation indexed, Gold and SILVER seem to be a safe place to hedge against economic storms. Lower dollars and higher oil will only drive them forward. Inflation indexes that project 5 to 6% inflation could not be measuring the true rise in prices that are currently being reflected in food and energy. Factoring in those increases I believe we are seeing a real inflation of probably closer to 12%.

Gold, SILVER and I-Bonds

Good for at least a 20% portion of investable assets.....
At least for the hedging quality of them.

and a lot of fun to run your hands through........
