Zincman,
Maybe there is a reason we have not seen this could be.. but gold has been in uptrend.. me ? I've beaten gold since 2K but it's been a lot more work :O) The reason for owning gold is insurance IMO.. do you trust the combination of elected politicians and the electorate to make the right choices ? Rarely... Gold doesn't take much ooomph to move it.. so tapped out isn't really valid I think.. Just the lineups from the last frenzy moved it.. but it won't last long if it comes..

The US is not going to be gone anytime soon... just not preeminent... US was in the right place at the right time at WWII.. and still needed to be cajoled and prodded into action.. China, India, Brazil... are not flashes in the pan..


US has the only positive birth rate in the developed world. In fact, there were more kids born in the US in 2007 than any other year
As long as US attitudes moderate towards immigrants from the south.. I bet the ethnic makeup of those births is interesting...

US still has 16 of the top 20 universities in the world. Rome did not fall in a day :O) Again I do not think the US is 'falling' though.. Elmat on Booms Busts likes to say return to natural size... that's probably more accurate...

and it has basically the same today... Hows that for progress. So you think China has topped out ? LOL.. talk about apples and oranges...

But, I could be wrong... ;)

Sure.. and contrary to the conventional thinking... It's always different.. other wise Black Swans would not be feared :o)

Interesting to see you and Tom at this debate.. Tom is hardly a doom and gloomer either (as in end of USA) ... Seems to me the discussion is more about your respective attitudes than expectations of the future.. you have a sunnier outlook than Tom I think is the difference :O)

It's always different..
