The economy sucks, but ... buy gold, because of all the huge demand pressures pushing all commodities to stratospheric heights.

Isn't that what some people are saying right now ?

The economy sucks, lowering interest rates, driving all calculations for fair prices for securities (both stocks and bonds) HIGHER.

A P/E ratio for Qualcomm (right now) of about 50 implies a 2% "earnings yield."

T-bills are paying around 3.75% now (down from 6% -- less than a year ago, I believe).

QCOM's 2% earnings yield is safe (in my opinion), and can reasonably be expected to be sharply higher within two years.
